THE PRACTICAL JOKER A "BROMIDE"

Are Practical Jokes as Funny as Their Perpetrators Think? The Disrepute of Marriage the Fault of Its Advocates.

BY ESTHER GRIFFIN WHITE. What is a "practical joke?" And why is it so tunny? Sometimes practical Jokes end in the bastile like the Kansas "tar party." For, after all, that was a sort of sublimated practical joke. Practical jokers are apt to think they are very cute, very astute, very shrewd, very clever, very adroit, and always enormously and overwhelmingly funny. Never forget the exquisite humour of the thing. The hazing party at a well known college a few years ago, the members of which tied a boy to a railroad track, where they left him to be run over and killed by a train, were very indignant when they were denounced from one end of the country to the other for this abominable outrage. Why, they were only in fun, they said. They only Intended to scare the boy a little. They hadn't studied the time-table and didn't know a train was due about that time. They were awfully sorry but hazing has'always been practiced in their college and they couldn't be expected to spend their time studying train schedules and the weather reports to see that all was favorable. The faculty were very much grieved over the unfortunate affair but far more grieved over the attitude of the public. They regarded themselves as having been unduly censured. One of the star stunts of the practical joker i3 performed after a wedding. It is thought to be hugely and Bhrlrk!nelv amusin&r to badeer the iir nut of the "voiine couDle" to load thm nn rfrnva And cart them about town, to the accompaniment of a tinpan orchestra. To parade them in a carriage or automobile up one street and down another placarded in intensely humorous but grossly offensive fashion. To chase them to the station and into the car and herald them with "we are just married" signals. To stuff rice down their necks. To make them the object of ridicule and the center of derisive attention. To, in short, follow what should be a beautiful sacrament with a program of vulgarities that turns it into something common, indecent and lewd. Oh, people will say it is not intended that way. Possibly not consciously. But it really resolves itself into that. It is the expression of an attitude toward marriage that takes from the latter's sacredness. One half the trouble with marriage is indeed, the levity with which it is regarded. At the theaters and in the vaudeville bouses marriage is constantly made the theme of the coarsest jokes, the most suggestive songs. Men are constantly depicted trying to get away from their wiyes through lies and subterfuge. Women as deceiving their husbands and leading a gay life on the side. People laugh and scream and applaud this to the echo. To he honest and decent and honorable is to be stupid and banal and a bore. To be faithful to the marital relation is sneered at more or less deli cately. Generally less. A man in love with his wife is made to appear a poor, silly, unsophisticated ass. A woman in love with her husband a galling mill-stone round his neck, a sort of vampire sucking his "life's blood." Marriage is, in short, brought into disrespect and contempt by those very ones who loudly declaim against its general failure as demonstrated in the ! divorce court, TELEGRAPH COMPANY

.UN -YOU lliil k GOOSE?

The cloth, indeed, is not entirely immune. You can often hear very questionable jokes on the subject of marriage cracked by the clergy. The writer once heard a very godly man take about half an hour to tell

a story oi sucn deadly dullness tnat everyone either wanted to go to sleep or rise up and slay him, which evidently had for its point the use of the word "damn" in the finale. And in plays you can always raise a laugh with a discreet interjection of a "damn" or two when the action lags. And why is it? "Damn" is not a profane word. It is in fact a very nice, gentlemanly word on occasion. And an ideal vent for pent up irritation. Slamming out of a door with a vehement or muttered "damn," of course cn the other side of the partition will clear the atmosphere sooner than ten hours of prosing and preaching about the sin of losing your temper. So why should the word be looked upon as wicked? But the delicate shudders that have chased each other up and liuwn the emotional spines of the virtuous upon hearing this explosive expletive in the theater and otherwhere would have tricked out a whole repertoire of minor sensations. Sensations should never he wasted. The conservation of sensation should be taken up as a party issue! when the women get to voting. The wanton wa?te of sensation is one of the traguditd of the worid. How i j a. i : i i a i much wiser to hold them in leash to be I Judiciously distributed through a long, if not especially useful life, from such way-stations, as say thirty-five, fortyeight, and sixty-two. Sensation is the whip that spurs on the sluggish steed of life. When sensations cease, life is gone. One may eat, drink, move about, smile, even sit up and take languid notice he may read or write or sing or act or observe deeply but when the power of sensation is gone life is dead. Sensation is life. Sensation is youth. It is beauty. The accumulation of years has little i to do with its retention. Or should. Very young persons are often as dead at twenty as if they were sixty. Very old people are often more alive at seventy than their children at forty or fifty. The fountain of youth is found in the alluring pool of sensation. But sensations are dissipated by a thousand useless and silly activities. It has been truly said that "Voluptuaries have discovered that the art of torture is in the art of prolonging, not agony but ecstasy." In some, indeed most people, sensation is confined to a limited ' scale. Tl 3 poles of emotional feeling for

sensation are not far apart. In others the minority sensation has "infinite variety." It is pitched ! in a high key it descends into bottomless chasms. It takes on the hue of every color, the melody of every sound, the glinting brilliance of j every light. j In the former class you will find the mass of humanity ai:d the prac-j tical joker. . In latterj the artisU the musi. ! cians the poets tte exemplers of ev- j ery phase of art Xhey are the nu. man chameleons changing with ev- j ery shade of propinquity. j The practical joker generally has little imagination. He spends his time "guying" people. He thinks it the most exquisite enjoyment to poke game at everybody. He is always snickering and tittering and winking on the side and whispering and poking his companion in the ribs never reflecting that some other is doing the same with him. The practical joker never thinks anybody sees through him. Oh, no. He's a deep fellow and the devil of one. His carefully planned out jokes, minutely platted cut, tagged and ticketed, are often as transparent as water. He plays on the supposed credulity of his fellows. He knows they never notice anything. Therefore he will dress up, ring the door-bell and pretend to be somebody else. The practical joker, however, forgets one thing. That, in the end, he is apt to be hoist by his own petard. The saddest social joke is the practical joker the victim of a practical joke. The fiends, in other words, generally catch him because he iToesn't look out. ,,r . , . . ,. , m Wanted A yiolin; must be in good condition and price cheap. Phone 3806. it
