The
humorists
In Buffalo
The
natives think
Are pretty slow.
But
let a Buf-
Falo run loose
I
guess they’d beat
The whole caboose!

On Sept. 9, 1909, President Taft sent the following greeting
to the American Press Humorists' Association at Buffalo:
"Please
convey to the American Press
Humorists in convention in Buffalo my warmest greetings. Tell
them for me that they can be engaged in no better vocation than making people
laugh. Humor is like the buffer between two heavy railroad cars. It relieves
the jolts of life. It is a shock absorber. It makes the journey through the
years easier, and brightens the pathway all along the route. We Americans could
not get along without humor."Happiness is purely a matter of reciprocity. He who is happiest is he who gives the most happiness.
The man who gets most out of life is the man who takes advantage of every opportunity and neglects no chance to enlarge his field of observation and extend his experiences. The more mosaics we work into our allotted years the nearer our life will be worth living.
