 "Oh that would never do!' Crooke- lookie replied. We will magic first, then take a nap"

 And I know 1t Is better to take a nap first~ Humpylumpy yelled back at his brother. And besides, your magical charms do not always work right"
 This made Crookelookie angry for even magicians do not like to be told they can not work. magic very good. "Who says so? That's what l would like to know?' he yelled at Humpy- lumpy.

 "Ooch! Peach pie with ice cream on it!p the Raggedys and Peter Pei ican sighed again. It makes almost anyone hungry to watch someone else eat and not share with you. So Peter Pelican and the Raggedys were hungry

MUSICAL CONCE ERTS ENSLEY WILL HAVE
First Of Series Sunday At- tracts Hundreds Of
 Music Lovers
ENsLEY BUREAU l THE AGE-HERALD


 The initial concert by the Ensley unit of the Birmingham Music Study club was given Sunday afternoon in the First Methodist church. The pro- gram was heard by a large number of persons, filling comfortably the main auditorium of the church. IL was the general opinion that if the Ensley unit does nothing further for this community. it's beginning will not have been in vain, for the con cert and recital of Sunday was de- clared as pleasing an affair as has been given here in some years.
 Mrs. Minnie McNeill Carr presided at the organ, rendering several diff ficult numbers with rare understand ing, and her interpretations were fol- lowed with obvious appreciation and interest. Her finale of the Hallelu iah chorus from the Messiah was replete with force and splendid in the extreme.
 The soioists included Miss Ellen Dupuy, Mrs. Robert Bumgardner of Fairfield. Miss Park and Edwin Cook.
 It is understood that the concert Sunday is the first of a series that will be arranged for this section. There were many expressions Sunday that every person in Ensley should have been present to hear the mas ters interpreted by the musical ar tists.
 Interest in the Ensley unit will doubtless receive a decided impetus as result of the concert Sunday aft ernOon.

The Giants were woefufly weak in
the first game and lost to the Cubans
by the score of IA to o. In the Sc

back and led the Cubans into the
camp by s to 5. The third game was
a thriller, going to the Cubans, 5 to

that the attendance this year will be
record breaker. Richmond is now

MITIGATION OF THE
BLUE AND GRAY VETS
LOOKS IMPOSSIBLE.
(rreston News servicel

New Orleans, La. April 1S.-At the
closing sessions of the Confederate re-
union considerable uproar was caused
when an aged confederate veteran on
cred a resolution for a joint reunfoi
with the G.. A. r. at Washington next
year.
DR.. George Harding, Of Marion Ohio
father Of President Harding spoke
twice during the day. He declared that
he considered Robert u. Lee the great
est OF American generals and Jefferson
Davis one of the country's greatest
statesmen. He said that he felt very
kindly towards the South inasmuch "a
his grandmother was a cousin Of the
mother Of Jefferson Davis. He declared
that he wanted a reunion of the blue
and the gray in Washington next year
if possible.
General Julian S. Carr. of Durham
y. c., communicated at a session
during the discussion of the term
"rebeI" as applied to the confederate
soldiers shouted: I'm a rebel and a
ku klux too;p and shouts of II am too
came from all quarters of the auditor
ium
Pandemonium reigned when a con
federate veteran apparently over 80
years of age offered q resolution decidr
ing that inasmuclr as the ranks of the
Blue and the Gray were fast thinning
and animosity long ceased, suggested
that a committee be appointed to NEE:
a similar committee from the y A. Il:
to perfect arrangements for .Jiut re
urion in the near future.
Almost as of one voice shouts came
from all corners of the hall, Not in &
thousand years" and men leaped to
their feet. The resolution was tabled
without even a second One speaker
pointed to the old man and shouted:
you look old enough TO have known
better than to have put such meas-
ure before this body"
Commenting on the meeting Attor.
ney Robert l.. Vann, editor of the
Pittsburgh Courier, said: "The South
is hostile to every thought which en-
tertains the slightest sympathy for
the cause of the Federal army. II the
North would admit today that the
South was right in 1860; that Grant
forced Lee to surrender by strength Of
money and man power, there would be
reunion the like of which this world
never saw.
President Harding nor his father
can never sop the South with their
