A Persian Soldiers Conundrum.
To show that the Persian peasant is
not devoid of humor the author Of
PERSIAN Life and Customs" tells the
following experience:
"A soldier was an attache of royal
household and. besides soldering. he
had to write poems and tell conun-
drums and imprOvise puzzles. One
day, after not having been paid for
either military or other duties, he said
to his master:
~ have conundrum, your excel
lency.'
"'What is it?'
"'Tell me what it is which has
name. but no existence"
The master thought for some time
and then exclaimed: I give it up. Now

of Pope. who was often at Mawley.
though much oftener at our neigh
boris. the Blounts Of Maple Durham.
where there are such fine portraits of
himself and Patty Blount. One day
Sir Walters father was in his COM

said that was species of wit so
tritlingly easy that he would answer to
make one on any subject proposed
offhand. when a lady in the company
said, We'll, then. Mr.. Pope. make one
on keelhauling.' He instantly replied.
That. madam. is indeed putting a man
under hardship" Keelhauling is
drawing man under ship. What a
ready invention must the man have
had! One could hardly have found a
more grabbed word to exercise the
punsters faculty." - Diaries Of Mrs.
