WHAT IS 4 JOKE?
1t Is Serious Business to the Man
 Who Coneocts It.

Who coneoots It.
 There's one thing thought 1 knew, but ind don't know said Tommy. .What is a joke:'
 Father pricked up his ears, as it were. "A joke,' be said slowly, is something it's maker thinks is funny, but nobody else does"
 That explains it then. Today I said an awful quaint thing. Mother had tot of women here. and they talked about clothes. said: A woman's mind is always on clothes. When she nint talking through her hat shes laughing ui her sleeve. But DO one laughed. and read tbat one too. Ieil nle joke.
 If were to say when came homo from visiting ;he cemetery that h:y. a joke. "!s that a practical joke:'' Tt is not It's grave joke What's a practical joke"
 "lf your mother just before going cut shopping asked for money and l gave her all she wanted"
 "lo you like practical iokes?"
 Not when they're as practical as that. "l,ees every one like jokes?'
 Few people do Most think it is more blessed to give than to receive
 Then people can't take joke::' There are some who cant. Editors, ta l-a i6l.n ''
 Does any one make money from the writing of iokes:'' Only the papernlakers and the post al department of the government.
 Must joke be funny to be a joke:"
 Few are. Then some are SeriOuS:' Not exactly. But if you refer to T sexton as a man of grave cares some micbt think you intended to be jocu- lar''
 "Is pun like ioke?'
 Nothing at all A man who makes joke is an idiot, whereas a man who makes pun is criminal.
 Then the man who writes what be thinks are jokes is funny fellow:
 No: it is a serious business with him."
 He has his ups and downs, them
 Yes. He gets up courage to write to editors and gets turned down by them
 "Youre pot referring to the man who writes the column in the papers every day? Surely life is one joke with him."
 "No, it isn't. He thinks he's a hu- lnorist, but he's a pessimist. He'd rather be hodcarrier."
 "Why, does bodcarrier make more money?"
 Well, he has bit of climbing and often goes higher. Besides, the out door work is healthier
 Isn't joke writing healthy?"
 Not when you're caught at it.
 "Can man write jokes and still be a gentleman"
 "You forget, Tommy, that our re marks are intended for publication and that l have many friends wht write. Besides, sometimes get of ; joke or two myself" = Philadelphia Ledger

GRAND JURY GOES AFTER THE

COUNTY.
lNQUISlTORS THEN ADJOURNED
County institutions Are Not Crit !

Women at Work House is Recon-.
mended.

Eighteen indictments for selling
liquor without license were returned
by the grand jury late Wednesday
afternoon, at which time the inquisi-
tors made their final report and were
discharged. The jury has been in
session for more than three weeks,
had examined many witnesses, had
visited the county institutions, and
had returned perhaps the largest num-
Der of indictments handed in by any
jury in recent years.
The report as to county institutions
was very meagre in its wording, mere
ly stating that the poor house, work
house and jail were in good condition,
and recommending that another shack
be provided for women confined in
the work house. The report was of
special interest because of the recent
criticism of the county asylum by Rev.
George Mack, correspondent of the
state Board of Charities.
The report follows:
To the Hon. Sam Holding, Judge:
We, the grand jury, beg to report
that we visited the poor house ana coun-
ty work house, and jail and examined
the other county property and found
all in good condition, except we rec
