How a Circus Camel
Stepped Out of His
Character For, Artist

The recent advertising campaign of
a well known brand of cigarettes bear
ing large Illustrations of the well
known advantageous oh
is displayed in large design both upon
store windows and the cigarette cover
ings isS drawing MANY laughs from
the members of the Barnum &, Bailey
tented Aggregation in this city. Behind
the laughs is a pleasant little tale of
an artist, dromedary and two tried
grooms of the desert beasts that travel
with the show.
Technically the camel shown is not
az camel but of the species dromedar-.
ious, or garden variety of dremedary
which has one hump rather than two
humps as shown by the camel.
1t was about two years ago that the
Greatest Show on Earth played
| winston Salem, N. c. The press de-
partment was busy in the town ex-
planning to newspapers how good they
| were individually and as an aggrega-
ton when an advertising manager of
the cigarette company dropped in. He
suggested that a replica of one of the
! came1s would be highly appreciated
and if the show could send one to a.
certain spot that day they would
have an artist of some note locally
make the camel famous in advertising
throughout the world. The press de-
partment was agreeable and word was
sent to the spot indicated by the local
advertiser. ~
At the appointed time, two drome-
dairy tenders grabbed an animal. ~one of
the largest and most characteristic of
his specie, 'tAli Bahia" by courtesy of
his thieving propensities wheA choice
morsels were in reach.
l. TiredAand sleepy, they trudged along
the bypath. When nearly at the des-.
tinat1on one Of the drivers woke up to
the fact that camel had been asked
for.
what shall we do?" asked one
Gee! But it's a long way back"
said the other.
Lets take a chance. Maybe the
boob won't know the difference" they
both agreed, and the ''drom' merely
blinked.
Facing the setting sun in true Mos
| lem style the ~drom'' merely cast a
Mohammedan prayer as his head bow
ed three times and the tenders merely
hung their heads in trepidation while
the sketch was in progress. Their
mistake had not been discovered.
| 1t was not until recently that the
error became apparent and many a
silent laugh has been afforded as the
smokers of the, well known brand of
cigarette gaze with interest. at their
J sfAh Baba'' stepping out of his charac-
/ ter to play the part of camel.

There was great applause. At the
conclusion, Mrs. White, chapter
president, presented Mr.. Lever with
basket of red and white flowers
in behalf of the chapter, a slight
token of their appreciation. A part
of the exercises was a memorial to
Mrs. Martha Kenny, whose death
occurred few weeks ago, she being
the Oldest chapter member. Resolu-
tions upon her death were read by
Mrs. S. J. Watson and Nearer my

roll call of the departed veterans
were read and the chapter sang,
Our hero soldier sleeping" Mrs.

In Memory of Mrs. A. G. Burk'
halter.

Just when nature had walked
forth in her most attractive gart
and the sweet voiced bird of the old
southland was echoing back from
the hills his glorious song of praise,
for the mere pleasure of living, the
light of home slowly,
calmly and majestically went out;
for a time the aching void is great
for all those to whom it was given
the privilege of knowing Mrs. Burk'
halter. In these days of shallow hur-
ry the world has set aside the faith
IN the God-given blessing of friend
ship; not SD she of whom all knew
but to love. Like the dew of the
twilight her acts of kindness were
silent, forceful and beneficial. She
had perfected the great charm of a
true friend since she always forgot
what she gave, but remembered keen
ly the most trivial thing she receiv-
ed. Coming of race of people who
had furnished many soldiers, states
men and professional men she was
as simple in her manners as little
child. The advantages of truth had
.chrystalized in her the virtues so
needed to build up nation. As .
home maker she shed a light almost
divine. When you passed within the
portals of her home she made you
feel that you were the one she was
most charmed to be with and If cir
.eumstances with Iyou were not
bright, there was remembrance to
carry with you of absolute help.
Virginia gave her the soldier en-
durance for South Carolina can not
forget the help Leroy and Samuel
Hammond gave in the Revolution
when Gov. Rutledge from Charles
ton came for their aid to hold this
section against the enemy. Nor can
Georgia be less proud of the family
of the mother for history speaks
well Of the Cook name. A woman
like Mrs. Burkhalter is a blessing
40 the race. Her life was q perfect
example Of the highest Ideals. Her
.sorrowing relatives can only shut
the door where memory holds the
picture of her, for they will never
look upon her like again" Her
friends cherish the fact that to-
know her was liberal education.
To daughter and sons, | can only
say that her loss, will be to your
eyes, sadness, and times etfac-
ing fingers cannot cease the staunch
adherence to high principles, she at
every rung of life's ladder impress
ed upon your growing. mind, her
parting praise of you, I am proud
.ofyou," will be like the shadow Of q
great rock in the dreary waste:
spots that come in every kfe. As
the mound was hidden by tho tok-
ems Of living gifts, | knew tnat the
Just life she had lived would out
last these beautiful flowers that
the memory of her kind deeds
would go down the years smelling
sweeter and growing brighter as we
lived up to her standard.
Sleep on in rest sublime
Thou great and sainted dead,
From every heart, from every cline,
Thy children ss.ideals by thy deeds are
fed.

We're Going Some.
by Geo. P. Bible.]

] don't know what we're coming to,
Or where it all will end;
We're going some, l tell you now,
On this you can depend.
We try the earth little while,
And then we try the air;
A set of speeding fools we are,
Who will not take dare.
We run into q farmers horse,
A cow, a calf, child;
We turn a turtle down the bank,
We 90 as though we're wild.
We speed the limit every time,
Regardless of the law;
Kill any one it matters not,
But save your mother-in-law.
We crank our engine on the earth,
Then sail into the sky;
No limit to our speed up here,
But bird-men must fly high.
We sail the azure blue, we-do,
We dip, we slide, we glide;
Upon the clouds Of snow we ride,
And down our spiral slide.
Well sail to Mars in course of time
Or send wireless there;
oh, yes, we're going some, you see.
It's progress everywhere.
The Hootchy- Cootchy Tango Slide,
The vulgar Turkey Trot;
And other dances to be seen
Should speedily be fought.
We're getting back TO nature now,
In dress, we're on the Eve;
Of greater changes yet to come,
A gown without q sleeve.
Some empty heads, get up our styles
That vanity must follow;
Skirt is slit, the hose are seen,
Mock modesty is hollow.
We're building upward toward the SKY
No limit yet is seen,
We tunnel under river beds,
Achievements are supreme.
The Telephone and Telegraph,
Unite this world as one;
And common brotherhood of man,
Through all this rush will come.

But, have you protected her for the
