This is the thirty anniversary of
the birth Of one Clifford X Bergman
and We. the birthday editor, approach our
task with awe not unmiXed with reyer-
ence. We have laid aside the ha MINER

malice or mischief as the cute little wa
ter bugs that play hide and seek in the
pigeonhOles of our desk. Our fountain
pen is tipped with gold and filled with
honey, and our mind riots with thoughts
of good will and caution. For when Mr.
Bergman is peevish or indisposed he
sometimes. by a thoughtless pencil touch

the human face resemble the last rose
