CICERO AS A JOKER.
The Great Roman Scholar Was the
Author of Many Puns and
Smart Sayings.

One thinks of Cicero as "thundering
rather than joking, yet E. II. House, in
his Bright Sides of History" makes
him out to have been an inveterate oun-
ster. In Ancient Puns and Repartee'
Uncle Perry says:
when he was in his prime it was the
fashion to credit him with almost every
please him. While he was on a military
expedition in Asia he wrote home to a
friend, complaining that all sorts OF
wretched puns were passed off in his
name, because he was absent and could
not defend himself. He laughingly told
his correspondent that ne was not
ashamed of his own salt works'-salt
being a byword both in Greece and
Rome for wit-but refused to be ac-
countable for the poor stuff turned out
by inferior manufacturers. Julius
Caesar thought so highly of Cicero's
smart sayings that he made large col
lection of them. OF course they lose
a good deal in translation, and With
cisms that have to be explained never
seem to amount to much. However.
you shall hear one or two. There was
senator who hated to be reminded that
his father had been a cook. Cicero pre-
tended to compliment him on his knowl-
edge of law, but used words that had a
double significance, and sounded as if
he was praising cook for his gravy,
Another senator was equally ashamed
of being the son of tailor. Cicero con.
graduated him on his sharpness in a
point of argument and said: You have
touched the thing with needle |
am happy to say that he could rise
above puns when he saw an opportuni-
ty, and his sharp thrusts of raillery
were as much dreaded as his powerful
oratory When the rich Crassus was
close upon 60 years old he remarked
in public speech that none of has fam
lily had ever passed that age. Cicero de-
clared that the statement was made to
