WARD ALWAYS A HUMORIST
Famous American Funmaker Had All
the Elements Of His Calling in
His Personality.

One Of the greatest American humor-
lists was Charles Farrar Browne, bet
ter known as Artemus Ward. He was
born in the little village Of Waterford,
Me-, In 1884, and died in 1867 at the
age of thirty-two. He came from old
Puritan stock, and upon being asked
concerning his origin, he was wont to
reply:
Il think we came from Jerusalem.
for my fathers name was Levi and we
had Moses and Nathan in the fam
fly; but my poor brothers name was
Cyrus; 80 perhaps that makes US Per-
slams"
AS boy the humorist was full Of
happy wit and the family was not al
ways spared, says the National Maya
zine. One night coming home in a
driving snowstorm, Artemus went
around the house and threw snowballs
at his brother Cyrus window, shouting
for him to come down quickly. Cyrus
appeared in haste and stood shivering
In his night clothes.
why don't you come in, Charles
The door is Open"
oh" replied Artemus, IT could have
got in all right, Cyrus, but called
you down because l wanted to ask you
II you really thought it was wrong to
keep slaves"
