AN AMERICAN HUMORIST'S STORIES.

The following are some of the stories told. by the late Marshall P. Wilder, the American entertainer

DEUGED HOT. -

There is a good deal of talk about the English being slow to appreciate a joke. I have not found that to be the case at all, although one Englishman ciid come to me for an explanation after I had made the remark that I dreamed one night that I was deact, but it was so hot that I woke up."

"I beg your pardon, Mr. Wilder," he said. "bat-it-must-ba deuced hot in your country.”

AFRAID HE WOULD.

A friend of mine was rafling off a clock. He approached an Irishman and urged him to take a chance on the timepiece.

"No," said the Irishman, "O'll not take it Ol hov no use for a clocks and wouldn't know what to do with it if Oi had it."

"Oh, never mind," came the reply fu u reassuring voice. "Taku a chance; you may not get it.?

Ono hears funny conversations on ship board. One man said.

"Bay, Bill, who is that homely woman on the other side of the deck?"

"That's my wife," he replied, "Why, you're not looking." "I don't have to."

THIS IS SO SUDDEN. A Judge in North Carolina was sentencing a big, Inose-jointed negro who had been con victed of murdering another negro.

entrance of England into the conflict overy German realized that it was a life and death strugg, and that the matter of an adequate food supply would be. vital. Already, in September, the englischer Aushungerunge plan, perhaps best translated, according to the German mind, by The English endeavour to starve Germany, man, woman, and child, to death," became the object of academic. solicitude. Investigation was made, and it was determined exactly how my calories (88,640 thousand millions) and how many tons Eincess (proteid) (2,261,900 tons) were required to keep the popula tion alive for one year. And it was ascer- tained that, under normal conditions, 20 per cent of the calories and 28 por cent. of the proteid had to be supplied from abroad. To devise a plan for making up the deficit and to make the country self- supporting has been the chief endeavour of many of Germany's leading economists. The problem is one to delight the German mind.
