That is always an embarrassing question

the night.
Solely in the interests of harmony an

"A quarter past twelve"

quarters of an hour before I went to bed"

Dams Birthday Letter.
-R. JOHN CAREY, Atlanta, Ga.

"A Il. JOHN LATtE1, AIIaHta,
MI MY DEAR FATHER-Few men have
had the privilege of addressing a
letter 70 father upon the occasion of his
eighty y-seventh birthday. To-day is your
anniversary. / cannot allow the opportunity
to pass. l am printing this letter to you
because 1 am very proud to be known as
your son.
Eighty-seven years is long time and
they become particularly impressive years
when they accompany life of few regrets
am sure you must realize that you have
accumulated for your children during your
eighty -seven years that heritage which is
both best and rarest, good name.
/ have never been able to be positive about
my earliest recollection or you. 1t may be
that my first memory Is of the time you
wrapped me up in a blanket in Louisiana

always acted on your judgment you well
know. You must not be disappointed because
of that. Other fathers have had the same
experience with their sons. II is the way of
the world, and it has always been so. If
every boy could start life with the accumu-
lated wisdom of his forefathers. if the judg-
ment of those who have lived could be passed
to the oncoming generation. the world would
reach state of perfection in very limited
number Of years, presume
II each of us could read in book direc-
tions and advice about what to do when
confronted with the various problems of
life the chances are we would grow to rely
too much upon the book. which, of course.
would be the end of initiative and advance
ment
Perhaps the present scheme Of stumbling
and falling and getting up again and going
forward slowly has it's advantages.
In this connection am reminded of what
you told me once about the property at the
corner Of Peachtree street and Auburn ave-
nue.. remembered that you had once been
offered that building and the land for $12500
When the newspapers announced a few
years ago that the same property had been
sold for $s,400 front foot l asked you IL
you did not regret your failure to purchase
when it was offered to you.
mot at ALL" you replied, because I would
have sold 1t again to the first man who
offered me $1,000 profit"
The statement was unanswefable. Your
judgment was correct.
~ O you remember what you told me
about Chief Justice White? He was
at the time presiding over the de-
liberations OF the United States Supreme
Court He had just been appointed by
President Taft.
You spoke of the fact that he had handled
some legal matters for you in Louisiana and
had handled them we'll.
Ned was a nice boy" you said, II always
liked him."
or course you noted that the value of his
personal holdings shrank considerably dur
ing his term as Chief Justice. Nothing has
been said about it by the newspapers but
1t is splendid tribute to his integrity and
uprightness.
A ND then 1 never will forget how you
"A fooled your doctor and failed to take
the advice you paid him for. That
was back in 1916 He came to me with the
statement that the balance Of your life would
The New York herald., 1921-08-28

he did after reaching heaven was to take
drink and say "Skoal" which is what all
Norwegians say when they take drink. 1t
is Norwegian for "Prosit." The end of the
poem contains quite a promise. Maybe we
shall be able to get another glass of beer
after all. If so Death where is thy sting?
The New York herald., 1921-08-28

Iii 1904 the number or medical graduates
was 5,747. and in 1919, or fifteen years later
The number dropped 10 1856. This repre-
sents a loss Of 1901 practising physicians.
The New York herald., 1921-08-28

and took me to the front porch to see
comet. Or 1t may be that my earliest recol-
lection is about the buckwheat cake joke
You will remember that every fall, when
buckwheat cakes first made their annual
temperance at our breakfast table, ii was
your custom to solemnly inquire:
why are buckwheat cakes like cater
pillars?"
We children learned early in life that we
we're to reply that we did not know but
would all look inquirngly at you. Then you
would give us the answer.
"Buckwheat cakes are like caterpillars be-
cause they make the butterfly"
Recently Jim Farnsworth and had dinner
In little Russian restaurant back of the
Neighborhood Theatre here in New York
Some one had written your buckwheat cake
joke on the bill of fare, but they had made
il apply to hot rolls. OF course i was very
resentful about II and was on the point of
complaining to the management about this
very evident stealing of our family joke, but
I remembered that / was a stranger In the
neighborhood and had better not cause a
disturbance.
The New York herald., 1921-08-28

which am sure you have forgotten,
but have always remembered II.
When you and Mr.. Louis Beck were oper-
ating the Atlanta Machine Works you en-
ployed negro drayman to haul casting OF
some kind to the edge Of the city. You gave
him also some packages to deliver along the
route This was a typical negro drayman,
as remember him. with typical mule, the
kind that seemed to have led long and
useful life. The mule really should have
been using a crutch.
After lapse Of time the drayman re-
appeared, having made his deliveries.
