[Transcriber's Note: Unlike the other volumes of _The Wit and Humor
of America_ in Project Gutenberg, Volume V was not prepared from
the "Library Edition," and thus has discontinuous page numbers and
will not match the index in Volume X. In addition, a few pieces in
Volume V are duplicated in Volume VI, but all have been retained as
printed in each edition.]
