Ham, i Toronto Saturday Night ' ) he announcement of George Ham's book of "Reminiscences" fo be published by the Musson Book Company in August, has caused much | Interest in newspaper circles. A num- | ber of attempts have been launched {to secure an according-to-Hoyle inter- view from the famous humorist and raconteur, but to date the wily col- onel has either escaped or turned everything into one of his pieces of Inimitable railery. When a newspaper map met George H. Ham, of the C.P.R_, on the street the other 'day, he innocently asked what were the principal mo- mentous questions that were domin- ating this particular part of the uni- verse, and he was cheerfully told that the weather naturally occupied the, lectuai-and otherwise public. "Any conversation that doesn't in- clude a brilliant, if not particularly original, reference to Old Probs," said the genial George, "is absolutely and ridiculously incomplete, It is evarlastingly the mainstay at every gathering or at casual meetings of two or more friends or strangers, but it leads up to minor topics like pro- hibition, politics, religion, horse rac- ing and the current rate of exchange or anything else that, when there is really nothing to say, helps out. Of course the late lovely war is almost entirely forgotten--most people don't like to dwell on unpleasant sub- jects--but, up to July 4th, even the weather had close run with another beligerent horror---the Dempsey- Carpentier fistic discussion. Perhaps that overshadowing event put even the weather in the shade, which shows that when the world is dis- tractingly disturbed over two men pounding tar out of each other, our boasted civilization is bringing us to a higher and higher plane every min- ute, The League of Nations? Well, what about it? The baseball leagues seem to be of more importance." Then the reporter asked if Mr. Ham thought that the world had in- creased or decreased in semse of humor since the days he pictured in his recently published reminiscenses, "Go to, go to," was the Shake- spearian reply. "The entire universe was never so bubbling over with-real unadulterated cachinnating humbr as it is today. You can see it every- where. Why, right in Ontario a man is fined $100 for having a bottle of cider in his hip pocket, and another person is fined $5 for walloping his wife. Wouldn't that make a horse laugh? Many's the time when I was a kid we youngsters used to syndi- cate up to ten cents a pail of cider at Sammy Cochrane's cider mill and suck the sparkling beverage through straws and nothing or nobody got drunk except the cider. Now we'd go to jail for it, because, goodness knows, we never had one hundred dollars in those happy days. "Did you ever see a stout red freckled faced woman on a sizzling hot day with a red fox skin around mm, How Old Age Comes first place in the mind of the intel - | Toronto, ~~ her fleshy neck and the perspiration streaming down her fat florid cheeks and she looking triumphantly happy because other equally uncomfortable but highly respectable females could only decorate themselves with chea- per skunk skins or dyed rabbits or dyed muskrats? It's a sight for the gods. But humor fails lamentably when these same inconsistent but distressed looking ladies neglect to wear linen dustérs in January. That would be the limit of laughter pro- voking, "Did you ever know of the queer utilized. Never hear of the convales- cing patient who was entirely with- out funds, and a kind friend sent her $25 to get herself fruit and milk and chicken and other patient's diet? Ard what do you think she did with the money? Bought herself a wrist watch. Say, wouldn't that frazzle you? "And did you ever meet such a fellow as the Montreal man who lost the address of a Toronto friend, when half way on his journey to that city, and turned around and bought a ticket back to Montreal to get the address, And at the railway depot were telegraph and telephohe stat- fons. There's something hilariously funny about that, isn't there? "Isn't there §bmething ridiculously humorous about thousands going' out on strike when the ranks of the un- employed were never so large? And Johnny Bull voting fifty millions of dollars to pay them for what they didn't do." "Don't you see a glimpse of hu- mor in the fact that in Quebec a bottle of Scotch holds about four- teen ordinary drinks, and'in the ar- id districts only eight? Same kind of bottle too. "And did you ever read the Eigh- teenth Amendment to the Constitu- tion of the United States, and travel through that country? That's the ghastliest joke of them all. Stills and distilleries in the great majority of private residences -- with hopeless eness, "Isn't there anything funny about a Quebec judge declaring that three card Monte is not a game of chancé? Of course it isn't! The poor sucker has no chance whatever, as hundreds found out when, after the judge's decision, it.was an open shop and the card 'sharks robbed them of all their spare cash. "And just think how school teach- ers and ministers of the gospel must hold their sides when they read that the scavengers are paid as much if not more for their services than they are. The rafters in many alittle red school house or sparsely furnished manse must ring with loud laughter and gladsome glee when this dawns upon them. "Can't you smile bver the re-enac- tion of the Blue Laws of Connecticut when a fellow couldn't even kiss his own wife, let alone #is neighbor's, Lon a Sabbath day, or the fact that a woman in Zion City was 'fined for wearing shott sleeves which shames lessly exposed the lower part of her arms--Oh, ye gods! "Do you remember in the old days when the programme of a theatre consisted of a tragedy and a farce? Will that conie back again in real life? There was a grim tragedy in Flanders and France. There is now a ludicrous farce in the Berlin trials as a roaring afterpiece, And, you must remember, millions were slain and billions of property were de- stroyed to give us Democracy. We got it, we did, and as we feel its deadful autocracy wo uproariously tintinabulate at what the gods have given us. Tell me, son, was there any- thing more grotesque than the thing we won? "Is there no real rib tickler in-- but isn't that enough for one day? It laughter leads to longevity this generation' should iive so long that they'll have to shoot a whole lot of people on Resurrection Day. "ENRICHED DOMINIONS."" Manchester Guardian's Comment on British Gifts, London, Aug. 18.--The Manches- ter Guardian publishes the following regarding the strictures by the pub- lic accounts committee upon the gifts without the formal consent of parlia- ment, of warships, etc., to the domin- ions: "Our cabinet's proper relation to the dominions, is mot.that of a wealthy uncle visiting his nephew's school and stimulating personal re- gard by handsome tips. The tax- payers are the uncles, and if the uncles, so deeply impoverished by the war, are to tip nephews, so much enriched by it as were some of the dominions, we might at least be al- lowed to know we are doing it." The Westminister Gazette remarks that such gifts would have all the 'more grace if given formally through parliament, On Tuesday at the Geperal Hospi- tal the death took place in Brock- ville of Miss Sarah Jane = Shannon.
