The Humorous Side of Hun John
'Ihere is abundant evidence that
John Adams's sense of humorj never
forsook him even in the. most ttyinz
situations. When the colonial Con-
grass of lIII assembled at Philale.-
phia, the Idea OF national indepen-
dence had not occurred to most yf the
delegates. Very few wished to break
away from the British crown, the
general desire being merely for re-
dress OF grievances. Even George
Washington. who Was at the head Of
inc virginia delegation. did not beiieye
at that time that the home govern
inent would persist In its insane at
tempt to deprive the colonists Of their
liberties.
On the evening before the Consres :
opened. the Massachusetts delegation
held secret meeting. and Adams was

Adams didn't promise. and his COL

In fear and trembling. Next morning
on his way 10 the Congress. he met
several dcgatcs from Virginia whom

together, discussing some of the mat

convention. During the course of the
conversation one OF the Southern men

gave vent to a prolonged and sibilant
"Hush.'

Eirian who had been interrupted.
Your language is high treason"
Adams replied.
DO you think His 3Iajesty's min
lister heard me?'' laughed the delegate.
Not that" answered Adams. with
mock seriousness II am not worried

the subject that the impression has
become fixed In the minds of Amert-
cans that their frat President was

In letter written by a member OF
