(Continued from Page 8) epitaph: "The body of Benjamin Franklin, Printer (like the cover of an old book, its contents torn out and stripped of its lettering and gilding) lies here food for worms. Yet the work itself shall not be lost, for it will, (as he believes) appear once more in a new and more beautiful edition, corrected and amended by The Author." Remember how they had us read that wonderful thing in school? Well, Ben stole it ! Stole it from another fa'mous printer, the great scholar, author, and renegade monk of the fifteenth century-Erasrnus' * ,F tr
So, when I lift a word, or a phrase, or a thought from some other fellow's stuff, I think of my hero, Ben Franklin, one of the greatest and most useful men that the tide of times has produced-and it appeases my ' conscience. However, don't get the idea that Ben Franklin was the only great American who discovered a mine of incomparable wealth named Erasmus, and stole the nuggets. Far from it. fn the words and works of that great Dutchman you will discover where numerous of our authors, philosophers, wits, satirists, and wise men of recent decades, got plenty of their ammunition.
All writers are thievel! S;" more, some less, but thieves-all of them. Kipling, in the frontispiece of his "Seven Seasr" makes the rnost masterly confession. He spoke of the stealing that Homer did, and how the Greeks were wise to the steal. Says Kipling:
"They knowed 'e stole, 'e knew they knowed, They didn't cry or make a fuss, Just winked at 'Omer up the road An' 'e winked back-the same as IJS."
SEND $Z.OO FOR ''CULLUD FUN"

Well, folks, my book of "Nigger" stories, "CULLUD FUN", is on the press. By the first of August it will b€ in the mail to all its longing purchasers-first ordered, first served. So many friends from everywhere wrote in and said "PRINT IT" that I sent it right to the printer. It will be tastefully printed and attractively bound. And the price will be Two Dollars a copy.
In a way I hated ,o oo L. ;;rr""" has grown so gium of late, and laughs have become so scarce an article, that I hesitate to start everybody giggling for fear of the effects on their nervous systems: Because I'll tell you this much, that if you have a sense of humor and like "Nigger" stories, this book of "CULLUD FUN" will actually knock you kicking. It can't help it.
r love "Nigger" .,o.i.l, *", 'l *'"r,0 of "kick" out of telling them, and have been specializing in them all my life. I believe I know a good one when I l-rear it. And for more than 25 years I've been keeping a coliection of the best ones that came along. Whenever I heard a nigger story, long or short, that appealed to me as unusually good, it went into my scrap book, just in note form.
Twenty-five years is " ;"; ,,it'". "no a lot of good stories have come to the mill in that time. But I kept them all. Of late years close friends have been urging me to put them into some sort of understandable form to preserve them. They said I had no right to keep this great collection of wit and humor in notation form, for if anything happened to me this greatest collection of stories would be lost, and I ought to put them in shape if onlv for my family and friends to possess.
Last fail I started turning these stories into typewritten form. At the end of three months' steady writing I found I had just finished my "Nigger" stories, and that there were enough of them for a fine volume. It occurred to me that this collection would be unique in itself. So I asked my readers for tl.reir opinions, and have a stack of letters a foot tall urging me to print them. So the book of strictly colored stories, "CULLUD FUN," is being born.
Of course, I know how lousy story-books usually are. I've bought scores of them and seldom found a laugh in a carload. Books of funny ( ?) stories are usually about the saddest things on earth. But I can't help believing that a collection of really wonderlul stories, each one picked from a bushel of ordinary ones and told in the way a story shculd be told. rvould be a treasrtre.
So you can crderyou. .o* o, "aUt"IJD FUN" right now, and will get it in a short time, hot off the press. But remember, I warned you. Unless you lvant to laugh your fool head cff, don't read it ! If you want to hang on to your scowl and your grouch-stay away from "CULLUD FUN" ! I'il guarantee there are a million laughs within its covers I As a matter of fact. I'm afraid that if too many people read it we'd be in danger of losing this highly prized and well advertised depression ! And wouldn't that be tough?
