Kinds Of STAGE Humor.

The French, who have an arlnory of
critical terms both more exact and
more abundant than ours. distinguish
between three different kinds Of stage
humor. Brander Matthews writes in
Munsey's. There Is. first Of all. the
mere witticism. the sentence laugha-
bile in itself, the sO-called "epigram ~
and this they term the mot de'esprlt.' -
Second. there Is the phrase which de.
rives its comic effect not from itself.
but from its utterance at a given mo-
ment in the movement Of the story
and this they term the ''mot d'esprit.'

or sentence whereby character ex-
presses himself unexpectedly and
Enthusiastically. uncOnsciously turn
Ing the fashlight on the unexpiored re-
cesses Of his own soul; and they are
wont to call this the mot de carac.

GUBERN NATORIAL CANDIDATES
 MAY CAMPAIGN JOINTLY

Will the candidates for Governor resume the old-time custom of joint campaigns?
 If that should be done this year, it would be more interesting than a three-ring circus, for there never were so many entrants at one time. If the whole number of candidates which will be anywhere from six to ten when they actually get under way, would agree to enter upon a joint campaign of the state, it would greatly simplify the situation, would enable the sovereign voters to size up the candidates at close range and would economize time.
 Such proposition will be made by one of the candidates, rFank M. Wells who says that he has already broken the record for sustained stump speak ing by making 468 speeches in GA counties in support of his candidacy He says that as soon as he has cov- cred the other eleven counties he proposes to issue challenge to all corners, after the manner of Roderick D'hu to meet him in series of joint debates for a period of sixty days covering the entire state.

tical short haul, the truck takes a burden from the railroad sytsem that has long interfered with the efficiency of the transportation system of the country And in addition, the truck has widened the trading radius of every town and city in the nation.
 It is bringing farm products direct to the market quickly and economi- cally. The live stock industry is an example of the efficiency of the truck for short hauls. Tn Indiana over 90 per cent of all hogs raised within 50 miles of Cincinnati were shipped to the market in trucks. In 1917 truck shipments of hogs jumped from 21.000 in January to 36000 in December. In In 1918 the peak month was 56.000 hogs. This was thought to be a max imum, but in 1919. starting at this fig ure. truck shipments climbed to 126.- 123. The same conditions obtained at Cincinnati. Omaha, Sioux City, St. Jo- seph, Kansas City and Denver.
 These figures refer to hogs only and do not take into consideration cattle, calves and sheep. The farmers are avauing themselves of ship by truck. IL is proving decidedly profitable for the farming and agricultural interests of the country. and has been extended to meet requirements in all lines Of
