MUCH DIFFERENCE IN HUM0R
Brand Highly Thought OF in One coun,
try Is Not Always Appreciated
in Others.

When Coleridge said, mo mind Is
thoroughly well organized that is de
ticient in the sense Of humor," he ex-
pressed a conviction that seems COM
mon to all civilized men, and makes
each nation take pride in its humor
and perhaps suspect that other nations
enjoy a somewhat inferior brand. Yet
comparisons Of humor shows, broadly
speaking, that the peoples Of the world
are much alike. In the Tourist, pub,
lished in Tokyo, a Japanese author, foI
example, remarks that humor sis i'm
deed the flower of life, and life with
out 1t would be as dreary as spring
without its blossoms. TO Illustrate, he
translates number of Japanese anec-
dotes, "funny storles," as the United
States might call them, but one does
not smile over them. Neither on sec
ond thought, does one smile over many
of the funny stories" in American
magazines and newspapers. Humor
which really amuses is everywhere
rare and precious, a 'tlower of life"
as the Japanese gentleman poetically
puts it, but growing up in company
with a great many weeds.-Christian

London's holy well may, after all,
still be in existence, John Diprose,
printer and historian of st. Clements
Danes, investigated the many rival
claims put forward as to its Site in
Guiding Lyons Inn, the old Dog tavern
In Holywell street, and part of the site
of the law courts, and found no evi-
dence to support any of them.
He suggested that the holy well
might be identical with the well Gov
cred by the stone-built house in st.
Clements churchyard looking like a
burial vault above ground.
This, an inscription tells us, was
erected in 1889 "to prevent people
using a pump that the inhabitants
had put up in 1907 over remarkable
well which is 121 feet deep, with 100
feet of water In It,"

let a man acquire a thirst for romantic
affairs and he Is liable to do anything,
except the right thing, for the first
principle of romantic love Is that 1t
must be Illicit love.
The real reason that men roam away
from their own firesides is not because
their own wives are not as attractive
as somebody else's wife, but because
they have an idea that a forbidden love
is more romantic than a duty love. 1t
isn't, because there Is nothing more
sordid and disillusioning than lying, de-
ceiving and meeting affinities in the
sort of places where you are not likely
to encounter your friends. For the af-
fairs that we describe POLITICALLY as
taking place under the rose are gen.
orally conducted under shabby, ILL

endure them, or that causes him to
elope with a woman who ruins his
career, or to lead a double life, or 9TH

Upon woman the effects of romance
are still more dangerous because she
has more time to Indulge herself In It,
thereby becoming a sort of secret
drunkard who requires to be continu-
ally stimulated by it. She begins her
married life in a state of being all Ut

commences to die out of her system
she decides that she can not exist with

clusion that as she does not have

husband that she has made a fatal mis-

day to pay her bills and leave her time
to read erotic novels Is not her real
soul mate.
He does not comprehend her aspira-
tons after the intangible, and she feels
that such an idealistic nature as hers
should not be tied down to three meals
a day and taking care Of a baby, so she
starts out or a still hunt for an af-
finity.
She doesn't mean any harm. She
doesn't intend to be false to her mar
riage vows. It's Just a plain case Of
being afflicted with romance. and it's

Early in the morning the sun is In

held to be helpful.
Before noon 1t will be wise to avoid
employers or superiors in office.
1t is not a good sway under which

Great combinations Of industrial in

Of activity are presaged by the stars.
The fact that the United States has
become a creditor nation will inspire

Did you ever think that no other one
thing has done so much harm in the
world as romance2
1t has broken up more homes, dragged
more people into the gutter and wrecked
more lives than the demon rum eve
dreamed Of. And the worst part OF II
is that not only has rooo 6yt oi no
one wants to be cured. We court
the danger that may annihilate US, ana
the thing we dread most in age IS the
fear that as we grow old we may pc
come immune to attacks OF the lalal
complaint.
Novelists and poets sing the glory Of
romance, but In reality romance Is
merely a kind Of sentimental delirium
tremens where those afflicted see mag
mary charmers instead of pink SNAKES
and from which they generally awake
with a dark brown taste Of remorse ~
their mouths and an aching heart, ana
y reputation that needs to be sent 10

or course we haven't been in the way
of looking at the matter In this light.
We have glorified romance, and MADE IL
the synonym of all that was most glo-
rious, beautiful and thrilling In life. also
we have made 1t a blanket excuse LOT
any kind of folly and an adequate de-
Tense for murder, but all the same, IN
spite OF ali this press agent stuff, the
devil could shut up shop and take a va
cation now and then II it wasn't tor
romance, which keeps hin working
overtime.
with the majority of people romance
Is that which, put into the heart OF a
man, stealeth away his brains and robs
him of his reason. 1t maketh him to
babble like a fool, and write letters
which cost him much money to get
back again. 1t inspires him to flights
of idiocy of which he would be inca
pable at other seasons.
II Ia that makes an other
wise sane individual advertise in a
matrimonial paper for a wife, and
marry a woman whom he has
seen before, and whom he meets for
line first time at a railroad station and
recognizes by a white rose pinned on
her left shoulder. That such people
escape the fool killer can only be ex-
planned on the theory that the newt
able afterslap of romance is the only
punishment capable OF fitting the crime

sense.
It must be perfectly apparent to
