SILLY PRACTICAL JOKES.
ASInIne Acts of IdiOtdc Perpetrators
Which should Bring severe
Punishment.

Among recent arrivals from Europe
Is a man who went thither in response
to cable message which notified him
that his sister was dying. That was
some idiots idea of funny practical
Joke, as the woman was not i'll. The
victim of such cruel and wicked joke
is ready to urge legislation which will
impose on the practical joker penalties
but little less severe than those which
are provided for cases of assault and
injury to the body, says the Philadel-
phN Record. He maintains that no
bodily harm which is not permanent
can be worse than the distress of mind
which he has been made to suffer.
There are other practical jokes which
result in wounded self-esteem or in a
feeling of humiliation and which hurt
more than any bodily bruise. 1t was a
French critic of penetration who said
that mans best satisfaction is in not
being dupe. No one, however, canal
ways protect himself against the in
genuity nj the practical joker.
There is room for discrimination as
to practical jokes. The injury which
is inflicted on an unsuspecting person
by loaded cigar or whatever wounds
or disfgures or endangers life is in no
way different (save that it is more
cowardly) from any other brutality.
1t does not belong to the category OF
such practical jokes as those which
strike at a contemplate weakness or
at unwarranted vanity and self-con-
troll, or which expose humbug or a
braggart. 1t was an excellent thing to
ring in on the experts at the New York
cat show a stray veteran of the alleys
as a $4,000 prize, since it proved that
the judges (who awarded the first
prize to the mongreD were humbugs.
The same jester fattened up retired
street car horse, and by the gorgeous
ness of its harness and blankets and
the style of its hostlers caused the
New York horse show judges to give a
high rating to the animal. Never was
a justice better done than in the case of
a fool who pretended to have hydro
phobia, and who terrorized the people
in safe by growing and trying to
bite. Two men seized him, and, having
enlisted the aid of doctor, they put
him through course of treatment
which was almost as distressing as
hydrophobia would have been. The
Connecticut man who thought IL was
fun to spring from behind tree and
cry "boo!" to girl escaped with a
fine Of $1,000 which was light punish
