Milwaukee, June 3.-"If you were

Is there anything in this veteran
vaudeville joke that should convulse
its hearer with mirth for more than
three consecutive seconds?
Everybody who has heard it will
probably answer no, but the quip
found a real victim in Julius Jeswein,
"a years old, for Jeswein laughed for
16 consecutive hours after hearing it.
Jeswein attended vaudeville show in
downtown theatre Saturday night
and when the ''if you We're my hus-
band" funnicism came along he al
most had fit
Jeswein kept on laughing until the
act was forced to discontinue. The
|audience became alarmed. Jeswein
was demonstrated with and finally he
was removed to Emergency hospital,
There, although the physicians did
everything in their power to Quell
his risibiliues, Jeswein still laughed
for hours. And nothing they could
do for him stopped it, until it was fin
ally determined that the only remedy
would be to put him to sleep. Nor
phine injections were given him. Still
he laughed. More narcotics We're ad.
msnistered More laughter He has
become so weakened that death may
result.
