NJ. Depew, one of tho few survivors of the Lncolnian era of after-dinner wit and storytelling. He retains his rosy-cheeked blithe- ness despite the pressure of work An connection with his job as chairman Of the Board of the New York Cen trad Railroad. He has just passed ST.
 There are no new jokes" Depew said. They come and go, and then they come back agatn-sometmes in a different form. but very often not changed at all. Men come to me and in a hushed voice ask. Have you heard the latest?' and then they tell me one that I heard during the Grant administration.
 Abraham Lincoln told a great many stories, but most of the best are un- printable. He didn't like to argue, so he told funny story to bring out his point. He used to tell about a terrible disease that broke out among the pigs in Illinois, rom which many died. Then g smart fellow came along and advised cutting off the pigs tails. The farmers did it. and the disease disappeared. But next year 1t came back worse than before, and the p1gs hadn't any tails!
 "Rumor has not only grown less in modern time, but it has grown less m ore. The vulgar joke has gone out, due largely to the presence of women in modern political and business life. Nevertheless, I deny the charge that women have no sense of humor.

MUCH WOUNDED VET
 AT LAST DISCHARGED

Martins Ferry. Dec. 27-After be- ing in the army over five years, 37 months of which were spent in Brit ish and American army hospitals, Jesse M. Barton, of this place, has been discharged. He underwent B operations, because of wounds sus- tained in France, losing one leg, in turing the other and suffering a se- were spinal wound which caused part of his body to be paralyzed for months.
 Although not completely cured. ar my surgeons told Barton they could do nothing more for him. Barton went to France as a second lieutenant in September, 1917, and, serving un- der the British, received no recogni- ton for his sufferings other than a citation.

LEADER OF HINDU REVOLT lS GENTLE
 AND EDUCATED
Gandhi Has Helped British in Time of Stress and Hoped for Indian Free dom When World War Ended.

London, Dec. 27-"Gandhi won his position by pursuing a policy of do- ing no wrong, committing no violence, but simply enduring all the punish ments the other side could inflict on him until they all became weary and ashamed of pundshing.''
 That is how Prof. Gilbert Murray describes Mohanda Karanchand Gandhi, the Indian agitator, whose name is so frequently mentioned in respect to the native uprisings in In dia on the occasion of the present visit of the Prince of Wales to In dia.
 Ghandhi studied law in Great Bd- tain about the year 1889, but instead of going back to his native land, like many of his contemporaries who had the advantage of a European educa- ton, a confirmed British Ioyalist he whole-heartedIy embraced the Hindu cause and was a constant and viru- lent agitator for their rights.
 Gandhi is 8 Jain, a very high caste of Hindu, and he came from rich parents. He took the usual Jain VOW, that of an abstinence from alco- hol and cows flesh, because to the Jains a COW is Q sacred animal; and an abstinence from pork and bacon because the pig is an unclean ami ma1-
 He took his law degree and for a time practiced law in Bombay, but he cared more for religion than law. He
  away his money to good causes keep ing for himself only 9 meagre allow apce. Finally he foTsook the law yer's profession, because he could not couscientiously follow a profession which believed in might to force it's rights.
 In 1914 he was Q very patriotic sup porter of Britains war against Ger many, and from it's results he eX- pected a better India for Indians, ire spectiVe of caste and religion, and the exclusion from their native domains of the material interests, the indus trial slavery and the money and power worship of the West.
 The result was e shock to his ideals and ever since he has been engaged in constant passive resistance to the Government and has always striven Indian, not so much in the eyes of l the European, but in the eyes and ] graces of the higher caste Of native in India-a much more difficult prob i lem.
 1 Unlike other revolutionaries, how l ever, he has always come willingly to l the aid of the Government in a crisis Tn 1904 there was an outbreak ot l plague n Johannesburg, and Gandh! l opened up a private hospital long be- fore the Government had time tc i act.
 In 1913. while he was being con. l stantIy imprisoned by the Government in South Africa, the railway strike | broke out, and transportation in the T'ransvaa was paralyzed. From the l ordinary agitator'S point of view this | would have been his supreme mo- 1 ized society of South Africa, but he relented and gave orders to his people l to resume work and aid the Govern rent to keep order.

"Humor is scarce today because the times don't permit it. The war, the intensity of the business struggle, high taxes prohibition all these things put people out Of the mood for funny stories.
 Prohibition has done much to in juTe humor. Wit and wine have al ways gone together. Of course, there is a whole new collection of jokes based On prohibition. But can't re- member any of them. The subject IS so painful that the mind dismisses 1t as soon as possible.
 The jokes about high taxes aren't really iokes-they are shrieks of poin and rage,
 "A joke must be absolutely natural, must spring out of the immediate circumstances. but 1t must have a snapper. There is as much in the telling of joke as in the joke itself. Some people don't prepare for it proporly. I've seen many a good joke lost in it's scenery"

Lion Flesh Found Insipid

LONDON, June % (By Mail).-
Georges Carpenter would hardly en-
JOY the proposed feast of lion steak,
remarks the London Morning Post, for
when "flet de lionne" was served
some time ago to a company of epicures
at the Restaurant Marguery, all the
guests pronounced it insipid. Still, it
is much in favor with the Hottentots
and other South African tribes, who
also class rhinoceros as first-rate
delicacy.
Tiger flesh, though tougher and
more sinewy than lion flesh, is eaten
in parts of India, and Europeans who
have fed on elephant pronounce it ex-
cellent, especially the foot.
Charles Waterton, who sampled
many weird dishes, from wasps' grubs
to monkeys boiled in cayenne pepper,
makes no mention of sampling lion
flesh nor does Frank auckland, who
was still more daring in his gastrono-
mic ventures. He ate and enjoyed
dishes of giraffe, rhinoceros, and ele-
phant-all from deceased inhabitants
of the Zoo. One day auckland heard
that panther had died there. 81
