BIRTHDAY FUN
We requested a , young business
man of Marshall to register his fam
ily in our Birthday Club, and he did
this without hesitation. This anan
knew Birthdays, too. Many of our
home folks give qualified dates; that
Is. they think the wife's anniversary
is on a stated date but they are not
sure. We wish in every case to be
eg sure we are right as you feel sure
that George Washington was born on
Feb. 42.
.After our friend had given us the
desired, information he inquired to
know what it is all about. We ex
plained fully to him, particularly the
sentimental value of Birthdays, as
we see it. We suggested to him that
every man, on the morning of his
IwifeV Birthday, should celebrate the
occasion by presenting her with some
token of affection, if nothing more
than a kiss! In all good nature he
said to us .
We are deeply sorry we can not

IT Is Indeed a beneficent influence that for a
season, however brief, deflects or withdraws
the mind from the mad rush of commerce
and Industry and directs it Into the ways of
'pleasantness and peace. And it is Indeed a
blessing to have the turmoil and hurry of life
lowed down a bit annually tor the sake of
humanities. -
Our calendar year is marked by days, weeks
and months. We live not by months or weeks,
but by days. It Is therefore Important that we
take account of the contribution each day makes
to our lives. We look upon "special days" as
mors attractive, enlivening and conducive to
Increasing our happiness and enriching our
domestic and social relations than. other days.
THANKSGIVING is ono of the "special days'
which, doring recent years, comes to North
Carolinians freighted with the spirit of good-

The Artists Know
and Wonder
In a quarter 0f a century of
mixing with mus-ic-hall people, I
have scarcely ever heard one
wont said in favor of perform
ing animals by the rtists
that is, t'ie people who have to
work with them, who know the
trainers, and who understand
the conditions.
Whenever there is a perform
ing animal turn on a bill the
other artists invariably talk a
bout it with disgust in their
dressing-rooms. When there is
a lion or tiger in a cage they
live in horror lest it escapes. If
there is a performing dog, or
there are performing cats, they
wonder what cruelty goes on
when they are not there.
