merely apt In it there sometimes
was found a play of the magma
ton which later made his verses
sometimes marvels If rhyming and
hrs novels at least always interest
ing. For instance, when a friend
told a story OF a medieval baron
who suspended above his door an
immense milestone, invited all his
creditors TO call. and then let down
the stone and crushed them, Brooks
laughed.
"A perfectly legal action!" he ex-
claimed. He was well within his
rights He was merely making a
composition with his creditors"
When Brooks told story, there
was always something about it that
was different from the usual run of
alleged funny stories. If they didn't
possess a telling quality" Brooks
relied upon his own wit to make the
fun of the moment Such a story as
we have described is that recounted

One day, at luncheon, the con-
versatlon turned 10 noses. their

TO be seated next TO Brooks. Brooks
looked at her little, turnedup moss
and said. kindly:
well, my dear. when they were
looking for a nose for you. they
chose the first that turned up"
But Brooks did not always en-
