"A Sample Case of Humor"

This is the title of the latest book by Strick-
land Gillian, formerly city editor of the Palla
dunn, now one of the foremost humorsts of the
country. A review of the volume by literary
critic is appended:
How could we live without the humorists, es
pecially the real genuine sort like Strickland Gil
lilan, who has made millions of people think this
is pretty fine world while he has talked to them
from the platform and his books? Somebody
has called him the official dispenser of sunshine
to the American people.
Now he comes with another book, which he
calls "a Sample Case of Humor," and it is packed
with clever, original fun-more laughs to the
square inch than can be found anywhere. 1t
might be we'll called text book of hunor; for
every kind of humor is described and illustrated
with an original story of the Gillian brand If
you have ever heard Gillian lecture you know
the quality of this volume and will hasten to get
copy; if you have not heard him you owe
it to yourself to get acquainted with this kindly,
clear thinking humorist through this refreshing
book; for he is an American institution whom
everybody should know. Get all his books and
you will not need medicine chest.
Gilan's humor is high grade-sane, well
balanced, and enjoyed by all sane, we'll balanced
humans. It has vital relation to life and re-
mains in the memory years after it is read. Real
humor and pathos are not far apart, and so the
reader as he turns these pages occasionally stops
laughing to ponder choice bit of sentiment
that reaches the heart.
In his preface Gillian says: my hope for this
book, from the viewpoint of results, is that it may
increase the publics appreciation of humor by in
creasing its powers of observation in that direc-
ton sort of an every man his-own-humorist
proposition, you see There is as much fun in the
world for you as there is for me. All you need is
eyes to see it, heart of kindly appreciation, and
a mind sufficiently devoid of rheumatism to en-
able it and then to jump out of the rut and
kick up it's supple heels. It is, in other words, in
the hope of enabling people to have lot of cheap
and harmless fun, from the eyebrows up, that
have prepared this book"
And he closes the book by saying: IF have
given to humor mental aspect as we'll as it's
customary emotional one; if I have in the least
degree helped you to find more hunor about you
and to create humor to while away lonely mo-
ments; and if I have helped cultivate in you the
capacity for throwing off sorrow when further
communion with it would make you not only un-
happy yourself but render miserable your asso-
ciates-which is black injustice-I happy
And you will be happier"

IL order to throw all possible light upon
what is involved in their settlement, |
hope that the following statement will
contribute to the final formation of opin-
ion and to a satisfactory solution. When
Italy entered the war, she entered upon
the basis Of a definite private understand
ing with Great Britain and France now
known as the Pact OF London. Since
that time, the whole face Of circum-
stances has been altered. Many other
powers, great and small, have entered
the struggle, with no knowledge Of that
private understanding. The Austro- Hun
garian Empire then the enemy Of Europe
and at whose expense the Pact Of Lon
don was to be kept in the event of victory
has gone to pieces and no longer exists.
Not only that, but the several parts of
that Empire it is agreed now by Italy
and all her associates, are to be erected
into independent states and associated
in a League of Nations not with those
who were recently our enemies but
with Italy herself and the powers that
stood with Italy in the great wal
for liberty. We are to establish
their liberty as well as u own. They are
to be among the smaller states whose in
terests are henceforth to be safeguarded
as s~crupulously as the interests of the pow
erful states. The war was ended moreover
by proposing to Germany an armistice
and peace which should be founded on
certain clearly defined principles which
set up 4 new order of right and justice.
Upon these principles the peace with Ger
many has been net only conceived but
for nulated. Upon these principles it
will be executed. We cannot ask the
great body of powers to propose and eff
feet peace with Austria and establish a
new basis of independence and rights in

pies of another kind. We must apply
