"What Is a Joke?" Father pricked up his ears, as it wore. "A Joke." he said slowly, "Is something its maker thinks is funny, but nobody else does." "That explains It then. Today I said an awful uunlut thing. Mother had a iot of women here, and they talked about c.'othes. I said: "A woman's mind is always on clothes. When she ain't talking through her hat she's laughing up her sleeve.' But no one laughed, and I read that one too. Tell me a Joke."

"Does every one like Jokes?" "Few people do. Most think it Is more blessed to give than to receive." "Then people enn't take a Joke?" "There are some who can't. Editors, for instance, rarely take a Joke." "Does any one make money from the writing of Jokes?" "Only the panermakers nnd the post al department of the government." "Must a joke be funny to be.a Joke?" "Few are." "Then some are serious?" "Not exactly. But if you refer to a sexton as a uian of grave cares some might think you Intended to be Jocu lar." "Is a pun like a joke?" "Nothing nt ail. A man who makes a joke is an idiot, whereas a man who makes a pun is a criminal." "Then the mun v.-bu writes what he thinks are jokes is a funny fellow?" "No; it is a serious business with him." "He has his ups and downs', then?" "Yes. He gets up courage to write to editors and gets turned down by them." "1 oil re not referring to the man who writes the column In the papers every day? Surely life is one Joke with him."
