PAID TRIBUTE TO LAUGHTER
Men Of Intellect and Renown Join In
Testimony to the Value Of
JoIlity In Life.

The value OF a goodnatured laugh
may be rated low by come people;
but many writer's have attested Its
worth in no measured terms
It is not surprising that Charles
Lamb should have said, "A laugh Is
worth a hundred groans in any mar
ket;" but from the lips of the somber
Carlyle one is scarcely prepared to
hear, mo man who has once heartily
and wholly laughed can be altogether
or irreclaimably bad"
It was Douglas Jerrold who boldly
stated that, What was talked of as
the golden chain OF Iove was nothing
more than a succession of laughs, a
chromatic scale Of merriment reach
ing from earth to Olympus"
Il am persuaded" wrote Laurence
Sterne, that every time man smiles
but much more so when he laughs-it
adds something to his fragment OF
life"
Last of all may be cited the verdict
of oliver Wendell Holmes, given with
his own inimitable humor, THE riot
out tumult of laugh, take 1t, is the
mob law of the features, and Pro-
priety the magistrate who reads the
riot act."-The Sunday Magazine.

Poets Memory Lives.

The saying Christmas comes but
once year" is attributed to Thomas
Tusser a medieval poet (l524-l5S0).
who seems to have been strong on
epigrsms. The same idea may have
occurred to others, but Tusser gave
II expression. He was classed as an
agricultural poet, partly because he
had not much education and partly
because he treated simple themes,
which he understood in plain and
simple way. Tussor had an ear for
music, and served to order as Choir.
lister In some churches OF his day.
His first publication was entitled "A
Hundred Good Points Of Husband
rie,' and later he published "A Hun.
dred Good Points OF Husbandrie Late
ly Married Unto Hundred Good
Points Of Housewifery," and still later
this was amplified into Five Hun.
dred Good Points of Husbandry Unit
ed to as Many Of Good Housewifery,"
Reprints OF these boks are still ex-
tant with an autobiography of the au.
thor in verse. Southey, himself a
critical poet, characterized Tusser as
"a good, honest, homely, useful old
rhymster." Some of Tusser's phrases
have passed into proverbs.

It Is said that Monsieur Clemenceau
who bears the pleasant sobriquet OF
"the tiger" is about to connect him
self with new journal to appear in

limelight from which he had not With

for some new stories concerning him.
One Of these Is that young man

know anything about foreign affairs?"
asked the tiger YES, monsieur"
was the answer to which he modestly
added, "a little" Clemenceau ap-
peared greatly astonished. "Ah, truly!

to come and bring the absolutesi most
useless thing she possessed And the
whole 25 women turned up with their

Another lady was giving what is

name of each book had been guessed

The lady who still puzzled everyone
