You \j 1

History
A fellow from Carolina wants to j
I know ti-her. I pet the idea that
| "Hull" Durham and George WashI
ingtr.n come from the same state. :
He says, ''Why don't you write and
give the people the real History of
'Bull' Durham in its native State,
i South Carolina, thai people would
appreciate that more than these
Bull Legends of yours."
Now thanks, Sir. for your goodnatured
suggests.i If I knew History
I wouldn't be able to write
"Bull" Durham Ads. I would be
a College Professor, get everything
right, and get nothing for it.
Ever} thing you suggested me tell
ing in? puu'ic aoout wncn ana
where ''Bull" Durham originated,
has been told for 60 years by typical
Advertising writers. That's the
only thing the Company asked of
me was "please don't tell again
where it came frcm, or how." You
see you didn't read their Ads, but
you did read mine and remembered
it, because it was wrong.
Writing Ads that will be remembered
is a queer game. This is
an Ad, not a History. I selected
Ads over History on account of the
pay. (American Tobacco Company's
pay is as good as its tobacco.)
Where "Bull" Durham comes from
or where it goes to is left for the
starving Historian.
P.S. You notice I named in this article
the WRONG Carolina. That's so
North Carolina wiil get sore because
I named South Carolina, and South
Carolina will get sore because I didn't
name North Carolina. A true Southerner
never forgets.
r.P.S. There will be another piece
in this paper soon. Watch for it.

WHAT NOT TO DO
'
She Held a Lump of Sugar
MAIDA IirSSKM. was sitting **
on u lawn bench, with her '
alert liti i*? wire-haired fox ^
terrier standing In front of her. while
she held a lump or sugar just out o: l'
his reach Old Man Xeglcy came "
around the nearby house carrying the h
sickle willi which he had n trim- l'
tiling the edges of the new-mown lawn "
"icok :** called Maida. at sight of h
the old dogmun. "Isn't Binks funny. ''
the way he begs for this sugar?"
"He Is." agreed Old Man Negloy,
walking over to the l?eneh. "And for tr
once I don't grudge seeing a human "
teasing a dog. though generally I think
It's a whole lot meaner than to tease
a little child?and that's alniuut the u
meanest thing on the list. But gen- *>
erally there's someone to Interfere aud hi
stop the tensing, or else the child can s:
keep out of the teaser's way. The dog h<
can't. sl
"The reason I'm not sorry to see "s
you teasing Binks just now is that lie's ",i!
better off being teased about that
lump of sugar than he'd be if you 'r
gave it to him to eat."
"Oh," said Maida. "I wasn't really
teasing him. I was going t<? give It to ^
him when he'd begged long enough. *'
And he always has two or three lumps
of sugar a day." n
"Why don't you pull out his teeth?" hi
suggested the old fellow*, "and then hi
pour some carbolic acid into his stout- a!
acl?r s*
"How horrible!" exclaimed Mnidn.
"That's nut a pretty Joke at ftli! How
could you think I'd do such u thing?" tr
"Because." answered Old Man Negley,
"you could get the whole job done 111
ut once that way and save time in- si
stead of doing it gradually with sugar.
"A dog lias 42 teeth?(instead of 32 ^
like us humans) ? and sugar Is bad 11
for all 42 of them. It makes acid In Sl
the mouth that rots them little by n
little till they're useless. And a dog hl
whose teeth are useless is as badly oft"
as a piano player whose fingers ure ,l
crippled with rheumatism.
"Then sugar helps to spoil a dog's n
stomach and to make the rest of his 11
food indigestible. People feed their
pet dogs on sugar and cake and candy.
and then wonder why the poor things "
get fa! and toothless and dyspeptic. I'
i?"
"But Binks loves sugar," objected
Malda. "He?"
"A baby might love to play with a P
nice, shiny, loaded pistol," Countered
Old Man Negley. "But I wouldn't ad- 11
vist it us a toy for babies. Most of
us love to do a lot of things that
would knock our health to pieces If P
we did them. For instance, I'd like ^
nothing better than eat nliout five
pounds of spareiibs and sauerkraut.
But it would come close to killing me. s<
Everyone Into some dish he loves host
and it Is usually a dish that makes :>
him sickest. It is so with dogs.
"Only, dogs learn to leave alone *
most of the things their instinct tells r
them i? bad for them to eat. They inherit
that wise instinct froiA their v.ihl
ancestors. Those ancestors never
knew about sweets. So your dog hasn't
the instinct to realise them." And the
dog that Is fed too much ?>n sweets
isn't likely to leave any descandants c
li? prop; l>y his suiTertfJ^s."

reptitiousiy into her itQckot. V'
"He doesn't seeiu any the worse for 1

she sah! In self defense, "lie's as well

"II'm!" mused Old Man Neg'ey. "A

rllliunt instrument. They'd get the

"1 never heard such a cruel thing
i my life!" blazed Ma Ida. "I
ippose you think you're being funny
ut you're not. Why. I wouldn't make
inks suffer for anything In the
orld!"
"Wouldn't you?" asked Negley, uniffieu
"Then quit trying to make
iiu 'sing* by playing shrill music to

earing apparatus is pretty near as

ils ure the most sensitive thing
noun to animals. A high noie of

ear-passages of his.
"It hurts them so hard that it makes
iru howl with the pain of It. Then
>lks laugh their heads off and they
iy: 'Hear him try to stng! Ain't he
;ite? lie just loves music!' Well,
e loves it about us much as you'd

Irn.
"At that, I've known dogs that
?ully loved soft piano music that
idn't go t<>o high. We had a collie
int used to run into the house every
me niy wife started to play soft
mes on our rickety old second-hand
iano. lle'd sit beside her by the
our. with his head on one side, just
stoning and loving it.
"I;ut any shrill sound means real
aln to your dog. So don't amuse
our guests next time by playing shrill j
itisic to liitu while they laugh ut his
>riaent. It Isn't funny."
"If I can't feed him sugar and can't j
lay my violin where be Is." pouted
raida. "what can I do without
arming him?"
"You can give him simple, commonpn.se
treatment," answered Negley.
Use plain commonsense with a dog.
nd you'll never injure him. You see.
ogs ure a lot like humans that way.
'lain commonsense Is the only sure
oad to travel with either of 'em."
