Charles Lamb, the essayist,

he punned.
Another famous man who
loved a joke, Theodore Hook,
once boasted that, he could make
a pun on any subject.
"Make one about the king,"
"challenged someone. -
"The- king, is no subject," was
Hook's witty reply.

of the river, remarking: "This
is a rare specimen,"
"It's an out-of-the-way plant,"
the friend retorted,'
The brother of Landseer, the
famous painter, was asked what
he thought of the then new in-
vention of photography, Ile re-
plied: "It's bound to prove a.
foe-to-graphic art, I'm Afraid."
Puns have helped business, In
the window of a shop where
spectacles were sold appeared
this notice: "You cannot be op-

"That's easily explained," said
the young man. "They le:Ned' for

The footballer won his wife

One of the most important

English woman taken prisoner

Afghan War. She was compel-
