ADAM SPRUNG FIRST JOKE
Asked Eve If She Expected an ich'
thyosaurus, When She Objected
to Spider on Rose.

We believe that in the Garden or
change for a kiss. And she shuddered
and said, ugh There's spider ON
the rose" And he answered, well,
what do you expect for one stingy lit
tie kiss-an ichthyosaurus?
We believe that to be the oldest joke
in the world-older than the goat, the
mother-in-law, or any that are sup
posed to be included in the Original
Seven. In varying forms one finds it
in the Talmud, in Plautus, in Aesop,
in Rabelais, in Joe Miller, in all the
almanacs and comic papers.
When we were a boy, it was told in
minstrel show, thus: A man buys a
suit of clothes at secondhand store.
He comes back and complains that the
coat is inhabited by unpleasant insects.
And the dealer says, "Well, what do
you expect for $5-humming birds?"
Vaudeville knows it in this form:
Tenant-"Look here, you'll have to
make some repairs in this house. The
cellar is full of water! Landlord
wen, WHAT Wv yOu CApCSL lOL p1O u
month-champagnew
And just last week we ran across
our old friend again in a weekly comic
paper. This time a passenger on a
street car calls down the conductor for
not calling the names of the streets
distinctly. And the conductor replies,
"Well, what do you expect for $14 a
week-a tenor solO?"
Lastly-a few days ago, we ran
version of the old thing in this column.
We cut it's hair, trimmed it's whiskers,
and fitted it with a new suit, but we
could not disguise it completely. When
you run across it in any of it's CO.'S
tunes, send us clipping, will you?
We are making a collection of that
Joke.

in CITY COURT
MAN FINED FOR CUTTING HER
USED VIGOROUS LANGUAGE
THEY ADMIT.

The case tried yesterday afternoon
in Justice Soper's court, in which
Mrs. C.. SorensOn vas complaining
witness against Zene Williams result
ed in the imposition of a fine. and
later the suspension of its payment.
The complaint was of assault and
battery. and the quarrel arose over
a statement as TO whether Chris Scr
enson, husband of complainant. used
snuff. The fight occurred in Will
Jams home, where Mrs. Sorenson
was making a neighborly call.
In language which was ~primordial-
ly simple in its direct force and eX-
preston, witnesses testified that
Mrs. Sorenson resented in terms Of
equal vigor the inference that her
husband used snuff, and threw a
spool at the defendant, Williams.
When Williams opened the door and
ordered her to go. she refused in
language which the famous women
of Billingsgate aspire to command,
but which they have probably eve
attained. She then sat on the floor.
and being a heavy woman, Williams
found himself unable TO get her from
his premises, especially as she fought
furiously the while. Finding himself
outdone in both d%islodging the en-
envy and in command of invectiye. he
became exasperated and struck her
at the side of the face. She later
left the premises.
Three witnesses were examined.
The defendant, Williams, Williams
daughter and Mrs. Sorenson. There
was no controversy over the facts as
stated, the only question being the
right of the householder, Williams,
to use force in the ejectment. The
court decided that the use of force in
this case was m~isdirected, and fined
the defendant as before stated.
