r iiUL 01 A \ A *111 U uvv t ivai J My Favorite Stories |? By CARL GOERCH H. J. "Doggie" Halcher has held a number of political positions, but this incident occurred when he was representing Btuke county in the General Assembly. One Sunday morning when the legislature was in session, 1 hap pened to be in the lobby of the Carolina Hotel?it was about 10:00 o'clock?and saw Doggie strolling a^>und rather aimlessley. I hailed him. "Well," he said, in answer to my question, "I had some business matters to attend to yesterday, and I decided to remain in Raleigh over the wtekend rather than un dertake that 200-mile drive to Mor ganton last night." "Kind of lonesome around here, isn't it?" I inquired. "It sure is," he said. "Practical ly all of the boys have gone home." "How about coming out to the house and ealing dinner with us," I suggested. "Well ? I don't want to cause any trouble or ?" "No trouble whatsoever. My wife will be tickled to death to have you." So after a little more argument, he finally consented to go out to the house with me. He said he ap preciated the invitation very much because he was feeling sort of blue and lonesome. My wife and daughter had met Doggie on several previous occa sions and they were delighted to see him. We sat around and chat ted for awhile, and then went in to dinner. There's one habit that I got into a number of years ago, and from which I have seldom varied. As a rule, 1 do a lot of traveling over the state during the week, so when Sunday comes around, 1 like to eat dinner at noon and then go upstairs and take a nap until! aoout o o ciock, with a utile time out lor some reading. Wnen we niusueu our dinner, we warned back into tne living room ana sat down to talk a whue. it wasn t long oeiore I began to get sleepy and started longing for ?.nat nap. However?as you may know ? Doggie is a most entertaining con- . versationaiist, and my folks seem ed to enjoy nis remarks greatly. He told them about his experience as a student at Trinity, as a football coach, as a young lawyer, as a legislator ? and heaven only knows what else. I began to get sleepier and sleepier. Then he started talking about Burke County and its many desir able assets. 1 waited until he came to a brief pause and then rose from my chair, sort of casual like, and said: "Well, Doggie, I've got to go down to the office and do some work this afternoon. I know that Mrs. Goerch and Sibyl will be de lighted to have you stay here, or you can ride down town with me and I'll drop you at your hotel." "I'll ride along with you," he said. And so, after giving him a little time to say goodbye, we got into my car and headed for town. "What's the idea of working this afternoon?" he wanted to know. To tell the truth, I didn't have any idea of working. My thought was Jo drop him at the hotel and then turn around and go back home and to bed. Naturally, how ever, I couldn't tell him that. I explained that as a result of my legislative work?the broadcasting and everything?I had to put in a few extra hours of work on Sun days to catch up. "Do you get any papers from other parts of the state?" he want ed to know. "Lots of them," I told him. "I imagine that we get close to a hun dred." "Do you get the News-Herald from Morganton?" "Yes, indeed." "I'll tell you what I'd like to do. You say you're going to work for a couple of hours?" "Yes." "How about me going up to the 4 ?dice with you and letting me look iver some of the papers? I'd like o get an idea of what they're say ng about the Legislature and its ictivities." Well, sir, I've never been so completely nonplussed in all my lfe. There wasn't a single objec ion I could think oY to his sug lestion. And so?although 1 im igine my tone of voice lacked a| ot of being enthusiasttic?I told )im I'd be glad to have him come ilong. And do you know, he sat dov^n n one of the other rooms with a )ig stack of papers in front of him, | ind it was an hour and a half be f fore he showed any signs of being through. And during all that time I had to sit at my desk and pre tend I was working to beat the band. I've never been so sleepy in all my life. 1 could hardly keep my eyes open, but in spite of that, I' pretended to be working right along. Finally, he said: "Well, I believe I'll walk around to the hotel." "I'll drive you there," I told him hurriedly. "Don't bother, it's only a short distance." But I insisted. So we drove around to the Carolina, and I put FAST, SATE Help /^Child's Cough For coughs and acute bronchitis due to colds you can now get Creomulsion specially prepared for Children in anew pink and blue package and be sure: (1) Your child will like it.
