'I jl Quips That Have Been Passed by the Censor i I I HEN you have laughed at a III Joke It is not always easy to i II decide what It was made you 1 do, It. Some Jokes seem to I defy analysis. Ta" the io-i mark cited by Mark Twain as huv- ing been made by Ai tenuis Ward, "11 knew a man In the Sandwich Is-1 I lands," a dreamy look crept Into his! eves, "who hadn't a tooth in nis head, and yet that man rmild heat drum better than any other I ever i saw," I Possibly the ft.n Is In the. illogical'; character of the observation, but, a Hernard Shaw reminded a woman's! club, "the Ihck of logic prevails everywhere. We call the tiger a fc- 1 rocious and ravening benst.

but what would you ladles be called if, for in- i stance, the lamb chop had a voice?" And the "punch" of a joke may lie! In Its very possession, or seeming I possession, of reasonableness. i "You haven't paid for your drink," a saloon-keeper reminds his customer. "Did you pay for It?" is the retort. "Of course I did." "Well. then," and the teeth of the logical trap clamp tight, "what's the use of both of us paying for it?" Or take the case of the bride read-In her husband a recipe.

"Sit on a hot stove and stir constantly." "Alice," he gently reminds her, "If i you sit on a hot stove I think you will tlnd you wil. stir constantly," Certain foregln critics declare that the most frequent distinguishing ear- mark of western humor Is gross exaggeration e.g., the old-time Meth- dist preacher who moved bm oftefi that his chickens, whenever they saw a large wagon stop nt the gate, immediately turned on their bucks and held up their feet to have theni tied together. But what more typical specimen of western humor could be found than of the sign cited by Samuel Mc-Ohord Crothers, will please not fall ihiwn this shaft, a 'here are men at work below Where the hi nior obviously lies in the "delicate understatement." ir, to the same effect, consider this bit of grisly humor: I'ity now poor Mary Ames, llllnded by her Brother James. Hedhot nails in her eyes he poked. I never saw Mary more provoked.

Sometimes there Is fun In the bald- st statement of an Indisputable fact, as when the Harvard Lampoon observes: The smile of sat: delight You see upon my face Is there, becanse it couldn't be In any other place. Some have contended that the basis of all humor is a sense superiority. You laugh tit the. other fellow's Ignorance. "No scarecrows in nirli.nd: Haven't we, though? Shure many's the tnime Ol've gathered the eegs o' thim." "Bridget.

I'm "lng to Mrs. Rrown's on Monday. Her youngest daughter Is coming out." "Yes'in alii What was she In fur?" And sometimes an added flavor is given by meeting Ignorance on Its own ground, as when a customer In-q -ired what to plant, with sliva and the florist suggested a border of splttooina.
