Keep Boosting.

There's no good in roosting
like owls on a limb there's more
sense in boosting with ardor and
vim. There's no good in view
ing all things with dismay; far
better be hewing some elm
every day. There always are
knockers enough in a town; the
grouchy old takers run every
thing down; they Kick if we're
growing. they kick if we're not !;
wet blankets they're throwing
till every ones hot. Unpopular
geezers, whene'er they appear,
these old Ebepezers who knock
by the year, They're whiskered
and frowsy, they're not uP-to-
date; they always are drowsy
save when they crate, save
when they are kicking because
of some tax. and wearily pick
ing the burs from their backs
The custom of knocking. if
given full play, is thoroughly
shocking, it makes them decay.
The habit of looking all clipper
and bright. instead of gadzook-
ing and cussing all night, will
make you a winner, whatever
your trade, o tanner and timer
and man with a spade! There's
no good in cawing and croaking
like crows, and drearily drawing
blue prints of your woes; far
better be singing some madrigal
dope, and cheerily springing a
package of hope.

CHAUNCEY N. DEPEW
TALKS Of HUMOR At s.

NEW YORK, Dec. 2S.-U. n. So
"If you want to live forever become a
joke"
This formula for longevity is put
forward by man thoroughly quail
fled to discuss both humor and long
life-Chauncey NJ. Depew, one of the
few survivors of the Lincolnian era of
ter-dinner wit and STORYTELLING. He
retains his rosy checked blitheness de-
spite the pressure of work in connec-
ton with his job as chairman of the
board of the New York Central Rail
road. He has Just passed elghty-sev-
en-.
There are no new jokes" Depew
said. They como and 60 and then
they como back again sometimes in
a different form, but very often not
changed at all. Men come to me and
IN q hnshed voice ask, Have YOU heard
the latcst?' and then they tell me one
that heard during the Grant admin
iStration,
Abraham Lincoln told q great
many stories, but most Of the best are
unprintable. lie didn't like to argue
so he told a funny story to bring out
his point. lie used to tell about ter
rible disease that broke out among
the pigs in Illinois, from which many
died. Then a smart fellow came
along and advised cutting off the pigs
tails. The farmers did it and the dis
ease disappeared But next year it
came back worse than before, and the
pigs hadn't any tails
"Humor has not only grown less /,
modern times, but It has grown les
-, The vulgar joke has gone out
due largely to the presence OF women
in modern political and business life
Nevertheless. deny the charge that
women have no sense Of humor
"Iumor is scarce today because the
times don't permit It. The war, the
Intensity Of the business struggle, hgi
taxes, prohibiton--all these things
put people out of the mood for funny
stories.
Prohibition has done much to in.
Jurc humor. wit and wine have al
ways gone together. OF course, there
is whole new collection Of Jokes
based on prohibition, But l can't re-
member any of them. The subject IL
so painful that the mind dismiSSes It
~ soon as possible.
The Jokes about high taxes aren't
really jokcs-thcy are shrieks Of Pain
and rage,
"A Joke must be absolutely natural
must spring out Of the immediate cir
cumstances, but it must have snap.
Ger There is as much in the TELLING
of a joke as IN the joke Itself, Some
people don't prepare for it properly
I've seen many good Joke lost in its
scenery"
