Having completed the prescribed g
course in ezpressibn Miss Annie
Pauline Smithy assisted by .Misses
Williams, Preston and Brinsonof the .
music department, gave her graduating
recital on Friday evening, May
5th, in the College Chapel. Coupled
with her unusual ability Miss Smith
possesses that indomitable energy
which insures success and a decided
talent fortius her chosen field.
If whfere all were so perfectly
renderaa one might make special
mentiim of any particular reading,
|her dramatic talent perhaps found
fullest expression in tbe selections
from Browning and Bulwer Lytton.
In Pantomime she is graceful and
natural. In this her interpretation
of Bryant's Thanatopsis was excellent.
The andience, the largest that bas

of her friends and admirers,
and if one may draw conclusion *
from the abundance of carnations, 1
roses and the most beautiful flow- c
era of the season, her friends are as '

School Children's T^eth Make
bad Showing
Dr. Arthur Hynes Fleming, President

facts to present to the members of
the Dental profession when that
body meets in June, at Morehead
City.
There were 188 examinations
made and only five found to be in
good condition. These are startling
facts and should be looked after.
Dr. Fleming has promised to
contribute an article for next week's
Times on the results of bis examinations
and will doubtless show some
interesting facts.
Ho Was Convinced. v
The following incident is said to
have happened between one of. our
wide-awake merchants and a customer
not long since.
Customer?"What is the price of
that axe?"
Merchant?"One dollar."
Customer?"That's too much. ,1
uan order it for ninety cents." ' ?'i-oL
Merchant?"Well I guess you
are willing to do as much for me
IB vou are the mail order house, are
FOU ?"
Customer ?"Yes sir!"
Merchant?"All right, then I will
sell you the axe for ninety cents, * ?
jut give me the two cents you would
lave to pay for the stamp to mail
four letter."
The customer handed over the
noney and the merchant wrapped
lp the package.
Merchant?"Now give me thirtyive
cents to pay express."
Customer?"What?"
Merchaut^-"Yea you would have
o pay that to get it."
Customer?"You are right, I
lad n't thought of that, here you
ire," and he nassed over the change.
Tho merchant then threw the paekige
over on the. shelf and alarted
>.v,-:iy when he was stopped by the
mstomer who atked him if he was
lot going to let him have the axe
ifter lie had paid him for it. He
vas told to call for it in about ten
lays as it would take it abottt that
ong to come from Chicago. \
This is not an extreme case and
he advantages of trading 11 home
ire none too strongly illustrated In
he above. Cfn the oontnry a title
common senpe, coupled with a
tile judgment and thought will
convince the moat particular as this
in stonier was. * ??
