LAUGH MAKERS ARE PUBLIC j.. BENEFACTORS.

The man who makes people laugh is everywhere regarded asS public benefactor, and expressions Of favor are always in order to such person. Columns have been written to perpetuate the fame of humo" ists, but perhaps said in behalf of any of them that appeared in a editori published in the Mexico City Post in memory Of Ricardo Bell, the great humorst of that count y who recently died. The Post said:
 The who made many grins grow
 where grins grew before will live in the
 memory of the people of Mexico for many
 generations to come.
 The man who makes "grns grow where no grins grew before has rendered a service that cannot be measured yet the value of which is thoroughly a . preciated by all.

 It is easier to write negro dialect stories that based upon studies of backface comedians than stories about the negro himself. school of dialect writ CTS has grown up recently whose members neglect the wealth of material for fiction be found in the negro he is and turn out stories full of distorted characters whose conversation is that of end men in minstrel shows. Nowhere else in the life of this try do genuine tragedy and delightful comedy dwell closely together in the negros life His contact with higher civilization and his reactions thereto his struggles upwards, his inherent good nature and care-free disposition, his keen of humor, all offer material rich in the from which is mintei the pure gold of literature.
 Here and there writer has studied his subject and written stories that less entertaining for being truthful and sincere Harris Dickson, who knows the Southern negro in his rural and urban environment few do, has written amusingly of the trials and calculations of Old Reliable a well done character. There others who have turned away from the lure of being clever and have written with truth their aim rather than fat checks. It is not be denied that the in the larger cities of the South who has acquired a certain degree of wealth and culture is fit subject for good fiction, but he should be looked at sanely and drawn truthfuy. There has been far too much caricature in this field especially in the popular magazines
 We have attained surprising degree of know : edge of the ways and customs and mental reactions of the Russian moujik, while negecting own peasant class, the aborers Southern plantations.
