"There are many things we may laugh at to keep op car spirits," said Mr. Patrick Francis Murphy, a New York business man and a humorist. in the course of a speech to the American Luncheon Club at the Savor Hotel

"A good speech requires tact and power of endurance on the part of the audience," he said solemaly, and procceded to make a speech of which the accience could only complain that it should have lasted at least twice as long. Here are some of the. epigrams which kept his hearers in roars of laughter:
