People Everywhere Flockins To Hear
His Optimistic Messaee-Find Him
To Be A Live Wire-CrippIed For
Life But Glad He Went.
American audiences are quick to
recognize and appreciate Tive wires.
They have found one in Private Peat,
who comes to City Hall Friday even
ing, March l, in what the New York
Sun says is "the greatest of all war
lectures. People are growing to love
this slight youth Of the first Canadian
contingent who has come back from
hell with a smile. and are everywhere
flocking to hear him in his optimistic
talks.
Peat is CHEEKY chap with the gift
OF telling his experiences in a delight
fully CHEEKY way. He is at times al
most inspired, and as he recoul.ts the
deeds of heroism that men haze done
"over there" he carries his listeners
with him far above sordidnesS of
trench life into realization that there
are worse things in life than war and
finer things than life itself.
He has been through all the horrors
Of the early days of unpreparedness,
has stood in water soaked trenches,
has suffered the tortures of gas at
tacks, has lost the use of his right arm,
and has his right lung shot away, but
is sincere when he tells you that he is
the gamer and not the loser
For to him has come a mystic be-
lief. an indomitable courage and
spirit Of good cheer worth everything
they cost to gain "and then some,
smiles Private Peat.
Although Private Peat is the highest
paid lecturer now before the public,
the local managers have set the prices
for his Augusta engagement at soc,
75c and sl.00. At these low prices It
will be necessary to fill every seat IN
city hall. He has never before ap-
peared at less than $50 and $500.
and has crowded the largest auditori
ums in the big cities. The seat sale
begins Feb. 27.--Adv.

Birds Get No Fun Out Of sinolnc.

"That the singing Of birds bears no
analogy to the singing Of human be-
ings, and is neither to please them
selves nor to please others, is obvious
from at least two facts: One is that
birds with defective or only half ar
ticulate voices will sing just as joy.
ously and persistently as do birds
whose instruments are perfect" John
Burroughs writes In Harper's. II have
witnessed this In the case Of the
hermit thrush, the bobolink and the
cockerel Of the barnyard. The birds
of the wood and of the meadow quite
ignored their split whistles, and the
cockerel arched his neck and inflated
his lungs and went through with the
motions Of growing just, as proudly
and repeatedly as did the cock he was
challenging"
