A Story of Two Humorists.
Colonel Will H. Vischer, the humorist, enjoys the reputation for homeliness. Speaking of his yearnings for comeliness, the humorist said : “ When I married and had a little daughter I had some one who really admired me. To her I wasi an Apollo. One day Bill Nye was in my office with me, and my little girl came in and began making love to me, as was her way, calling me all sorts of sweet names. ‘ Nice papa,’ said she, ‘ pretty papa.’ Nye turned around and said in his peculiar drawl, ‘ Vischer, are you trying to make a humorist out of that child ?’ ”
