roads from North Carolina and the
round trip rate has been put so low
for this occasion that it is really
cheaper to spend the time here than to
stay at home.
Besides the greatest races that have
ever been held in Virginia, the Asso-
citation has arranged for a larger num-
Der of side attractions than are usu-
ally at any of the Southern fairs, and
the best feature of this lis that abso-

The oStriches trotting in sulkies in
the race with running horses and the

There are a good many things l
would like to know. Indeed there be
more than three things that are too
wonderful for me, more than four
that know not.
The other day the Outlook, in speak
ing of DR.. Osler's much discussed re-
marks, declared that we Americans,
while having a keen eye for wit, are
lacking in the sense of humor. This
criticism was called forth by the fact
that our people seemed to be taking
DR.. Osler a trifie seriously. One can
believe that the Doctor had no thought
of literalness when he perpetrated the
dainty jest in regard to chloroforming
men over sixty, but the speaker would
hardly claim for himself that he was
not in earnest when he spoke of the
great, constructive period, the gold
en- years of plenty the fifteen years
between twenty-five and forty-the
time during which "the effective, NOV
ing, vitalizing work of the world is
DONE"

have thought the gentleman was pok-
ing fun when he declared that young
men should be afforded every possible
chance to show what is in them" This
to an American audience would strike
me as being a delicate bit OF irony,
but when Mr.. Howells takes the say
ing literally I submit, for who is SO
great a connoisseur in the matter of
humor as William Dean Howells?
And this fetches to the front again
that remark of my own that there be
things I do not know, things l would
much like to know. One of these IS
the answer to the old question when
doctors disagree. what will the peo-
pie do?
We had thought ourselves always
admitting yourselves to mean the
male element of Americanhood) to be
one of the most humor-loving OF all
the peoples who people the face of the
earth. There's the Scotchman who
has been so long accused OF lack
of humor till one began to think per-
haps Mr.. Barrie was a happy accident.
The Germans, we had been told
had such Titles of the blessed faculty
, that Americans would almost need 10
perform a surgical operation before
a joke penetrated their craniums.
Even John Bull had been accused, like
the Boeotians of old, of having eaten
meat till his perceptions were dulled
and not always ready to discern a fine
bit of humor.
2 We thought that Americans had a
claim, par excellence, of being the
humorists of the world. The French
might excel in sparkling wit, but for
humor. the kindly sort. unadulterated,
unskimmed and unskimmable, surely
the palm belongs to America. That

been giving itself wings, always. how

But after all may be Mr.. Howells
and the rest of Americans Except the
Outlook folks) are right in taking Dr.
OSler to be party in earnest. At any
rate, Mr.. Howells, in the June Har-
pers, goes far to disprove the accuse
ton that Americans are deficient in
humor.
