A copy of _Punch's_ Almanac has been received at this office. It is
England's leading exponent of humor. A member of this great journal's
staff read it through carefully and studied every drawing. Then he went
outside and kicked at a strange dog. The English brand of humor is sedate
and stately. It is not intended to be laughed at. Laughter--that is, loud
laughter--is excessively rude, don't you know. _Punch's_ Almanac for 1906
is sixpen'orth of humor profundo. The man who would laugh at _Punch_ would
go into hysterics at a funeral. _Punch's_ notion of humor is altogether
too sublime for any place outside of an English drawing-room.--_Bobcaygeon
