SAMPLE COPY FREE Would you like to have a sam- ple copy of the 'f'armer's Advo- cate and Home Magazine? THE BEST AGRICULTURAL AND HOME PAPER Repeat it: —"Shiloh's Cure will always cure my coughs and colds." A. Professional "Funny Man." There are other humorists to be tak- en into consideration besides these who merely write. The comic artists nearly all evolve the fun of their illustrations out of their own brains. Sometimes, they allow the head of their particular art department gives his assistance, but in the majority of cases the jokes one sees in the daily and Sunday papers are the artist's own original conception. F. Opper, aprominent humorist -artist of the Sunray newspapers, takes a very serious view of the situation. "I cannot recall," he says, "that any Irartieular outside or inside incident ever suggested an idea for a joke to me, or for any series that I have undertaken. Con- centrated thought, with the assistance of some of my editors, has drawn out, I may say dragged out, my jokes. Maybe some of my things are comic. I leave that to you, but they are by no means ,evolved spasmodically. In. fact, the more ••comic an idea is, the more serious work at requires to evolve, it. This seems quite a paradox, which, however, lases its force when put into practice. It is ;possible that an incident, you see on the street, on the cars, in society. will sug- gest ubgest a joke or a series of jokes but it is not often that I strike oil in that man- ner." —From "How a Joke is 11lade," by LaeTouche Hancock in the Bohemian ' for October. on the American continent.

A hair dresser has declared that the curling iron made the hair dressers wealthy. "My customers," said. he, "curl their hair at home and burn it off. Then they come to me to buy articicial hair. Each curling iron sold is worth $50 to a hair dresser, for it means that the woman will• come to him for repairs. "Yet the curling iron is all right if you do not get it too hot., and if you keep it moving. 'The professionaloihoer dresser perpetually turns the that it does not rust the hair. Rust is the term applied to that peculiar red- dish condition of the hair w'ben it has been curled too often with the Biot iron. "The hair dresser takes a lock of hair in the tongs and gently lifts it; then he clasps it tightly and twists it slowly and carefully until, with the ut- most caution, he deposits a curl of hair upon the forehead. How differently the amateur works. "The amateur bent upon hair curling takes a lock in the tongs and grasps 1t as though it were something trying to esoa.pe. She clasps the tongswith a tight hand and twists the lock right down to the scalp; she stands and holds the iron letting it do its full share of damage. Look after lock is twisted up in this way, and the hair is both scorched and tortured. "Nor does she curl it as well. The hair is peculiar in that it needs to be coax- ed." St. Sympathy.
