A NOTE IN THIS MORNING’S MAIL FROM MRS. D. B. Hamrick of Kings Mountain, brings another interesting animal story. This Mrs. Hamrick, I believe, is the same good friend of the column—tho we don’t know each ohter person ally—who has on previous occasions contributed the story about the “cat hospital’’ between Kings Mountain and Shelby at which stray and homeless cats are cared for, and the story about Doris White of Kings Mountain who was unusually successful with making friends with the birds last winter during the snowy weather. Today’s story again concerns Doris, who must have a Pied Piper’s charm for animals. This story is about one of her pets, an Eskimo Spit* puppy, an affectionate young fellow, to which she became much attached. However, as pets have a way of doing after they have wormed themelves into your affec tions, she had to be disposed of, when she became afflicted with running fits. Dotia wept over the loss and de clared she’d **get Trixie back,” and failed only because she couldn’t ffnd her pet. Sometime after Tri xie's departure, her young mistress discovered another puppy so like Trixie that she decided it must be ’’one of Trixie's children.” So ,in fact. It proved to be and the “child" seemed as moeh drawn to Doris as she to ft. tt formed the habit of coming out: to meet her each afternoon as she passed on her way from school and finally, capped the friendship, by going to her classroom at school one day, picking out her desk and taking possession et It, while the child was tn another part of the room. And there he seemed deter mined to stay until teacher “turn ed Mm out” as she did Mary’s ■ StUe Iambi frj—liidi HMare ordinarily likes wtantag the prise at bar bridge alub and she has no objection to winning an ash tray, — ana never baa too many ash trays to catch the family ashes,—but when a tray costa her flSO, that’s a different ■m won the Ugh eerne price at her bridge alub last Thursday eve ning, had had a vary good time ~~ end war plaaaed with her prim, until aomaopw earns in and told her her name had just been drawn for the 9190 jack pot at the theatre. Now wasn't that luck? A good example of the colored person’s gift for imitating is the way the maids about town copy the telephone voices of their mistresses to such perfection that even when one calls one’s most intimate friend one can’t be sure whether she or the maid answers the ’phone. It happens to me every day and so I'm certain it has happened to you too. And this week one outdid herself in an effort to speak like the missis. Said maid Informed me over the | ’phone that Mrs. So-and-so was away visiting her aunt, pronoune- | ing it aunt, not "ant,” as the rest of us North Carolinians do. It made me realise I'd have to begin taking lessons in English at night if I expect to hold my own with the servants in this town and ever cajole 'em into delivering my messages when the lady who’s had a party can't be gotten to the •phone.
