Masson, of Life, has gathered, from a variety of sources, another collection of humorous anecdotes. These stories have stood many tests. They have been repeated to audiences and have been widely copied and passed from one to another. They lose much from cold type and really require the personality of an actor to heighten their effect. Some are artificial and lie upon the surface of things. Others strikingly illustrate large truths. They are racial, philosophical, human. Lastly, they should be taken in small doses.
