UNCONSCIOUS HUMoR.
IucOnRruities In Speaking, Writing
nnd Painting That Appeal To the
Sense OF the Ridiculous.

(Trom the Detroit Free Prcss.)
Nothing has added more to the nerrl-
inent of the world than the unintentional
unconscious humor OF writer's. public
speakers and in fact. all classes and con-
ditions of men and women. And there is
none so delightful. 1t far exceeds ih
n;irth provoking quality the cold-blooded
humor of the professional wits. We
Americans arc n fun-loving people. and
we must and will have our jollity. Some
one has said with certain truth: "With
all our vanity, energy and unrest. We are

with in our cars and on our streets. but
they are not the type of the American
for he is as ready for u laugh as for u

And the Joke is all the more enjoyable
when 1t is spontaneous. The greater the
stress and strain OF life the greater the
need and demand for humor. and no one
dcprccates the value OF humOr excepting
those who have none of this good gift To

VERMONT PRESS MEETS.
"Thc Model Country Daily" discussed
-Ncxt Meeting I'm Bratt1cbOrO.

A quarterly meeting of tho Vermont
Press association was held at tho Van
Ness House Friday evening with fair
attendance and at times a good deal
of interest was shown. In calling the
meeting to ordcr,F. l.. Greene. the pres
idcnt. explained that tho meeting was
called with little expectation that the
attendance would be up to tho average
at this season of tho year when rail-
road conditions were uncertain. but
merely to hold the quarterly meeting
required by the constitution and thus
keep tho machinery OF tho organization
in working order until more favorable
wcLtlicr would insure a large turnout
of members and favor several cnjoya-
BILE programmes that were in course
of preparation.
The first business was to consider
the time and place OF the next meeting,
several places having expressed Il de-
sire to entertain the association some
time in the near future. 1t WIS fin
ally voted that g. NJ. i. Harvey of lIar-
pcrs Weekly be invited to attend th"
next meeting Of the club and that the
meeting nc held in BrattlcburO ON
some date in June that would best
accommodate the local newspaper men
and Mr.. Harvey.
Owing to his inability to attend, a
letter from. W. u. Howe was road in
which he expressed the opinion that
clubbing with outside papers was not
to the advantage of Vermont papers
+. y. Langley, proprietor of the
Barre Times, followed this with an in
formal talk on THE Model Country
Daily" Mr. Langley gave an interest
ing account of his experience In Barre
in which several practical points were
made and which was finally closed
with IL general discussion of some of the
