POETS AS PUNSTERS.
Even Shakespeare and Milton Broke I
Into This Form of Humor.
Shakespeare was an inveterate pun- '
ster. and Dr. .lobusou in bis preface to :
an edition to the poet's works deplores j
bis hnhlt of punning ou serious oecu |
sious Hamlet is made to puu when
he asks the gravedigger:
"Whose grave's this?"
"Mine, sir." answers the clown.
Hamlet replies
"1 think it he thlue indeed, for thou 1
liest in't." and adds Inter. "Thou dost
lie In't to be in't and sn.v it is thine."
To King Richard's question. "What
comfort, man": How is't with aucient
Gaunt V" Shakespeare makes »Jaunt re
ply: "Old Gaunt Indeed and gaunt In
being old Within me grief has kept a
tedious fast. And wlni abstains from
meat thai Is not gaunt?"
Milton Is the last poet one would
think to be guilty of punning, and yet
he once wrote a punning epitaph upon
a carrier who plied between Cambridge
and l^ondun and who died after losing
his trade ou account of the plague.
This carrier was the Hobson whose
"choice" Is so fatuous lie used to hire
our horses, but travelers had to take
the horse Ilobson offered or tioue. so
that Hobson's choice" came to mean
no choice at all
The whole poem, written on the death
of this carrier, is full of puus One pas
sage runs:
Kest that Rives alt men life gave nlm tits
death.
And too much breathing put htm out of
breath.
Nor were It contradiction to afllrm
Too loan vacation hast"iied oa his term
Cowper made a pun whicb has be
come quire famous in the poem de
scribing the ride of Johu tiilpin. who I
ha.i to go where his horse took him i
and eventually arrived at the house of
a friend from whom the horse had
been l>orr»wefl. Cllpin says:
1 crime because vour horse would com®.

of puns In "The Ijtdy's Pream" he i

The Three Scutaris.
By this time we should all know
•nougb about the near east not to con
round the various Scutaris—the one In
Albania. the one opposite Constantino
ple and the one In southern (Jreece. It
Is curious that each name conies from
i different origtGffT form. The Greek
Scutari is otherwise Scatarl: the Al
banian one Is the lllytian Scodra. and
:he Asiatic one Is the Turkish Uskudar.

The Limit In Politeness.
A certain professor is unusually cour

C»ne day be made a bonfire In lis t^ck

aim. and he believed his bouse was In
mmlnent danger So he run wildly
lowu the street, crying at the top of

"Help' Fire! Fire! Help!"
And then, as if thinking himself too
ibrupt and urgent, be politely added. |
