BUILDING OF A WIvICISM.
Point of Joke the Same Though
Under Changed Conditions.

The Bohemian had an article enti.
tied, How a Joke Is Made" In 1T
Marshall p. Wilder, the well known
humorist. cites this story as an illus
ration of one method. Here is
s CRY with joke in 1t about Labou-
-Iere, the genial editor of London
Truth. When he was standin~ for
the borough of Northampton for the
English parliament a little girl came
p to her father and said: Papa, who
made Mr. Labouchere? Why, Provi
ience, my dear, answered the some
wnat astonished parent. And what
or, papa? inquiries the child. Now
that isn't bad joke. 1t was natural,
anyway. But listen 10 one of mine,
which really has the same point
.hough it is brought out in different
way. A child and her mother are on
the cars. Opposite them sits a young
man dressed in the height of fashion
Says the child: Mamma, what is
that? and, as she asks the question,
she points to the young man opposite.
Hush, my dear answers the mother
But, mother, | want to know To
quiet the chad the mother whispers In
her ear: He is what we call dude,
dear The child persists as usual In
gaining some more information And
who made him, mamma? Why,
Providence, dear, of course replies
the mother soto voice, whereat the
child exclaims: oh, mother. doesn't
Providence like to have fun some
times" You see. the stories are real
ly alike. At all events, the po.1t is
the same"
