THE MOTHER OF THE SMALLs TWIN BOYS was telling us about their fondness for a small kitten named Adolf. Last week Adolf stuck his neck out . . it was caught in a swinging screen door . and that was the end of Adolf. When the boys’ mother returned to the house she found one of the twins kneeling, stroking the dead kitten,, the tears streaming down his face. With each caress he begged, “Alive up, Adolf, ’live up!” —o— AN AX-WALKING STORY comes from Henderson: According to our informant a Henderson woman was on her back porch doing the . washing. She heard a peculiar 1 bumping noise inside the house, I and knowing she was alone, went in to investigate. She found that an ax was making its way across the room, apparently unaided and that this was the cause of the bumping noise. At her entrance into the room, the ax turned and went back to its place. —o— THE HOUSE OF MAGIC at tne New York World’s Fair produced some amazing effects. Among them was one where a bowl (or disk) was suspended in the air without any visible means of support. Fur thermore, it was proved that there was nothing either under, above, or on either side of the disk. Then the master of ceremonies explain ed how it was done ... by use of magnets. Walking axes, tables, etc., have been in our folklore for too many generations to count ... we may find they have a magnetic explana tion . . . one of these days. Who knows ? —n— TWO POINTS OP VIEW: A coun try church, Presbyterian, was hav ing an all day meeting, according to Mrs. A. L. Among the members was the mother of a large family. All the children had been left at home, and during the day came news that one of the boys had fallen in the well. The congrega tion was upset ... all except the mother of the child. “I don’t believe it!” she said flat ly. Everyone else was excited, how ever, and all hastened to rescue the child. The mother stood calmly aside until the small victim was safely rescued. Sure enough, it was not her child. "How did you know it wasn’t your child?” she was asked. “I left my children in the care of the Lord,” she replied, “and I knew they were perfectly safe.” Which reminded someone of a big argument that came up be tween two eastern North Carolina women, next door neighbors. "I don’t see why you worry a bout your children all the time,” said Mrs. J. “I never worry about mine. I let God take care of the J. children, and I just don’t worry. When Mary fell out of the tree and broke her ankle I know God kept her from breaking her neck. I know that He watches after Mary and Robert and Jeannie and Percy every minute of the day and night, so why should I worry?” “You shouldn’t,” said Mrs. M., the neighbor, “but if He spends all that time watching your children, He’s got no time left for mine. I’d beter get me a good safe colored girl!” —o—■ BL^iE MOON: . . . Mr. J. D. says there was a blue moon, it was seen in Morehead, it occurred earlier this summer, and several people saw it. What’s the story on it? The only one we know is Odum’s "Cold Blue Moon” which has the story about the little boy who saw the ghost and “outa the window he had business” . . . ” ” • Charlie Sueis spent the week-end i visiting points of interest along the Sky Line Drive. |< TOWN 1 TALK Messrs.
