Quips and Quirks From a Scattered Newspaper Roundup

A collage of snippets from various papers recounts sly jests about delirium tremens, Oscar Wilde, chesslike humor, and a Long Island marriage notice. It notes humorous misreads in Latin and poetry, plus oddities such as a lunatic who jumped from a train and a Russian or English twist in a Turkish bath death. The column also jokes about stage mishaps, a tailor’s layout plea, and a self-harm note from a former bank teller.
