 His wife and e1asug fterss visited him daily and as he cenvalesced they spent the afternoons in the court yard, the wife sometimes bringing along the second child. an infant boy. Last week Mrs Cramer and the daughter were taken i'll and were forced to join the husband at the hospital
 Since 1879 Cramer has toured the world with circuses as a side show feature. His skin had all of the stretching propensitfes of gutta per- cha and while he sebaIyhooed him. self he would pull out sections of his flesh and let it fly back with a rubber ish smack.

HITS FRENCH HUMOR
Real Fun Is Cut Out of 1t by the
Great War.
Sardonic Representations of Alleged
German Cruelty Typical of HUI
morist's Exhibition-SoEdiers
Show Sketches.

Paris.-The dreadful effect of the
war on the spirit of humor is Illus
trated in the exhibition of caricatures
organized by the "Humorists" for the
benefit Of their wounded comrades
and of the widows and orphans of
artists killed in action. The French
genius for making fun of everything
has disappeared and the enemy is not
seen comically but horribly. The sub
jects are difficult for caricature, con-
sisting for the most part Of alleged
atrocities.
The deteriorating influence of the
subjects on style is seen abundantly
in the contributions of almost all of
the caricaturists and illustrators.
Forain tries to avoid topical slavish-
ness by using side themes set at the
front and suggesting amusing discom-
forts like rain, wind and mud in Elan
ders. One is a sketch Of two dirty
soldiers in a front-line trench reading
Paris papers, with the remark that
France will be saved if her civil
population hold good. Another is one
of a sentry calling to the driver of
an automobile ambulance stuck in the
mud to haul down the Red Cross
flag in order to escape bombardment.
The large number of English carica-
lures shown are better in spirit than
the French, though most of them are
bad drawings. The subjects are char
acteristic of English humor bulls"
by Irish corporals, recruiting absurdi-
ties, front discomforts and some anus
ing notions of German types which
appear to be based on knowledge and
certain physical sympathy for fat
ness, roundness, redness and square
Teuton The tone is genial through
out, and never sardonic In the grandi-
ose fashion sought by the French
craftsmen The trouble with the Eng
lish caricatures is that they show a
deadly identity of style, variety APP
pearing only in the choice of humor-
Gus incident.
The sculpture shown is as poor as
most topical or humorous sculpture
usually it, far and away the best ex-
hibits being champagne bottles
dressed up as drunken German sol
diers. Various heroic episodes from
the official communicates are done into
sculpture, notably the famous incident
of the zouave prisoners who yelled to
their comrades to fire when the ad.
vancing Germans used them as a
shield
few sketches by soldiers actually
in the trenches are of interest be-
cause they give vivid notion of the
dirtiness and lack of picturesqueness
of trench warfare. SENS Grown
Prince" is the familiar deaths head.
The motive of stolen clocks is rather
more amusingly developed than most
of the other stock traditions about
German behavior on campaign and
few of the jokes about German lack of
taste in womans dress are well
aimed
