HOW THE FUNNY MEN
VISITED GOLDF|ELD
THE WAY THE RENO REVEILLE
REPORTED THE GOLDFIELD
RECEPTION.

This is the way John Considine of
the Reno Reveille dishes up the Gold
field reception rendered to funny
men of the National Humorists' as
sociation
The American Humorists visited
Goldfield, and in doing so they per-
petrated the best joke that any of
them ever, with corrugated brow and
perspiring brain, wrenched from
the dark recesses of his feeble intel
lect.
The visit had been announced and
prepared for months ago and Gold
field with her usual liberaity had
collected a fund of $4,000 for their
entertainment. The Press club dug
the last nickel of its last $3.50 out of
the treasury to contribute to this
amount. AS there were supposed to
be seventy jokesmiths in the MENACE
RE of visitors, this would allow about
SO per visitor-a sufficiently gener-
Gus allowance for days entertain
ment, even in Goldfield.
Goldfield did things In her old hos
pitable style. When the train con-
tanning the pun-butchers pulled into
the station, there were a score of au-
tomobiles. a brass band, and a COM
mittee of citizens awaiting them. But
when they pranced down the steps,
a look of astonishment overspread
the face of waiting Goldfield. There
were about five of the alleged humor-
lists in the outfit, and with their sis
tiers and their cousins and their
aunts they made group of seven
| teen.
Goldfield was bit mortified and
| felt that she had been taken in. But
she did not lose a trace of her GUS
tomary grace She went ahead just
as though nothing unexpected had
| happened, gave her reception and
banquet and ball. grinned and bore
the jokes of the humorists-this was
| the toughest part of it-and never
squealed. To read the Goldfield pa
pers one would not know whether il
was seventeen or seventeen hundred
| humor-manglers that had invaded
their proud city, and inflicted its PEG
pie with all the stale gags, all the
WORKOUT puns, all the musty, moth
infested, worm-eaten stories tina
have been Intercepted and dragged
back from the cemetery since Adam
was a boy.
Goldfield did not lose much any
how. Any joke-carpenter who puts ;
label on and advertises himself a
a 'humorist" is the funniest thin;
that ever was-funnier than any jok,
he ever perpetrated of his own fret
will. He is more preferable whel
he comes in seventeens than by sew
entities, but he is more preferable
when he comes not at all.
And that's no joke.
Sam Davis, Nevada premier hu
morist, why, by the way, is not
member of the association, was TIL
man who made the arrangements 70
the Goldfeld visit.
On the day that the association al
rived in the greatest gold camp Of
earth. somebody wired one of tn
Goldield men most active in the re
ception, asking him if he knew wher
Sam Davis was. Shortly afterwar
he received an answer:
mo, don't know where Davis i:
but know where | want him to be-
Which last episode is considere
the best joke of the trip.

RIGHT TIME IS NOT
RECORDED ANYWHERE
GREENWICH, ARBITRARY REGU-
LATOR, NOT CORRECT IN d.
VISION OF DAY.

Over lunch the observatory profess
sor told me something of the trium-
phs of man over time; for man has
begun to master the clock, and my
astronomer dropped his shameface-
edness after lunch when he confessed
the deception that Greenwich has i'm
posed on the world. There are two
fundamental lines that encircle the
earth, one the equator to which is
due respect. What should be the
other? The meridans of Jerusalem
and of Rome and of the Great Pyra-
mid were suggested as the cross line
that should start the time of day.
But the supremacy of Great Britain
on the seas, the necessity of accurate
measuring of hours and minutes,
brought the center of the wolrd to
Greenwich; and Greenwich sets to
work to tell the time, and nowadays,
when Greenwich says 1t Is noon, it is
noon. 1t is usually compromise.
The line might have been drawn over
any other point of the worlds surface
But Greenwich has it, and sets the
mean time. And when it is to-day in
Greenwich it is this evening in other
places and yesterday or tomorrow in
others.
For when railways came, and swift
steamships and men ran to and fro
Greenwich spread its compromise,
the world went on spinning as usual;
but men spun faster. The coach pas
senger's watch in London would take
him without disaster to Edinburg,
while the yoyager to America had
probably forgotten all about time in
the wonders of space. But when men
began to travel swiftly and far it was
necessary to come to some agree
ment about time, since it would never
do to fiddle with the watch or reset
the clock at every station between
here and Penzance. 1t was necces-
sary to compromise, and compromise
always implies a certain amount of
deceipt
Therefore Greenwich made out it's
time, which is never the right time,
and the world mapped itself out into
four-and-twenty chunks. If you go
round the world you lose a day or
gain it, according to your route.
And thus you will perceive that our
astronomer has turned time to hui
man devices. There are many impor-
tant places in the world that are lur-
cd by GreehWlch' TO get up nail an
hour later than they hoped. For
example, the man at Penzance who
wants to get up at o'clock is turned
out of bed twenty-three minutes ear
lier than the man at London. He
never notices the difference. But
the gas companies at Berne notice
it: for Berne is on the edge of mid
european time' ana the Bernese go TO
bed before they have consumed suifi-
cent gas to satisfy dividends. The
, companies begged that Berne snould
