NEw-pRK;DAS-h-l K! DAY.
O.O.nsNTYpe.

The last Dodo sen alive was in 1865
shortly before Bryan ran for President
the first The Dodo has such short legs
that II cannot run and such short wings
that It cannot ny and so It lost out in
the survival OF the fittest campaign. Its
bill is almost gone-but lot OF bills are
gone after Xmas and that may be the
reason. Subtle stun.
Damon Runyon tells a story on Harry
Pollok that is creating a smile in the
sport world. Pollok at one time took
a fighter to Knoxville. Tenn, and the
fighter proved that II he wasn't a
fighter, he was at least a business man.
In the second round the pugilist fell
TO the floor after receiving very wild
punch on the jaw. He remained down
until the count was finished. Pollok
pulled him TO a corner and went through
the motions of reviving him.
After a time the pug blinked his eyes
and feigned restoration to conscious
ness. Pollok was getting ready to give
him a tongue lsshing, when he reached
for his bath robe and said with noncha-
lance. We'll, manager, where do fight
next?"
At last the day for songs Of the better
order Is dswning. The New York Tri-
bune has been reviving some OF the
songs of a few years sgo-songs that
made a daughter plead with her daddy
not to shoot her tonight. 10 wait until he
got sober. or something with about the
same brand Of sentiment
The foreign style of composition has
played q big part in uplifting the pop
ular song. Such songs as Love, Here
Is My Heart" and Joynce's Dreaming
set a new standard. Even Irving Berlin
cannot sell his "Alexander's Ragtime
Band type of songs any more. He was
forced to wax sentimental
One of the late popular songs has the
lines: IF I were an artist I'd paint you
so beautiful that all the world could see
Just how you look to me" A little
mushy, but with the title, "AH Can Do
Is Just Love You" the sale has reached
the half-million mark

Miss Bates laughed heartily, and
then she called through the door to
me, go to Mr.. Belasco, little girl,
and tell him Miss Bates sent you and
that because l am interested in you
he must give you a fine position"
And in a lower tone / could hear
her saying; Nov, Carrie, does that
make you happy?"
l fairly grabbed Carrie by both
hands and swung her around and

down the street, and up to Mr.. Be-

it.
He called me into his office, talked
ith me a few moments and then
gave me a book of verse to take
home, telling me to return in a few
days so he could hear me read. He
listened patiently while l told him
my ambitions and laughed as l added
that if l did not have a chance to

sare. days enough to feel gloomy. Set
February 2o aside to feel encouraged.
What will the warm weather and
sunshine do to American dyed goods
This is question that is causing no
little concern to makers of women's
clothes, and before many months
have passed probably will be causing
some little concern to the women
themselves. Many of the cheaper
goods dyed with American made dyes
are quite sure to fade within a shor,
time after they have been exposed to
the heat and light of summer sun,
Perhaps it is borrowing trouble a
little to worry about that now.

HERE'S ANOTHER FETE DAY.

Just as If we did not have enough
days with special significance some
one has suggested that February 70
be put aside as another fete day.
Within the past year we have had at
least ten new days thus set aside.
There has been "6re prevention day,"
and HBetter Babies Day." and score
besides. Soon our calendar will be as
we'll marked up as is the calendar in
old Spain where hardly sun rises
but some celebration is in order.
Personally, however, we are glad to
mark this new day on our calendar.
The idea appeals very strongly to
US, in fact, February 70 is an extra
day any way, so why not set apart
