[Other Personals on Page 14] LOVELY TRIBUTE TOTHREEFRIENDS Theodore B. Klein Makes Happy After-Dinner Talk to Trio on Birthday Just after a picnic dinner was served yesterday afternoon in Reser voir Park at the triple birthday cele bration arranged for President Theo dore B. Klein of the Historical Soci ety of Dauphin county. Mrs. Oeorge King Keet and George King Keet Jr. Mr. Klein, selected as orator of the occasion, made the following speech, showing conclusively that at the age of eighty-six his pen is as facile and his thought as beautiful as in the old days: Kind friends:— Every day in the week of every month in the year is an anniversary of some mortal's birth. Some linger and breathe a few hours dl' a few days or a few months or a few years and then fade away as a ten der flower and pass out of sight: some stem the flood and live on and n and through sunshine and clouds, through years and years until, tired thrugh years and years, until, tired of all earth's playthings, weary and worn and sad, bid farewell to rela tives and friends and pass on to the other shore. Some days seem to be more celebrated than others because of some famous person having been born on that day of the month. Oeorge Washington, the father of his country, was born on the twen ty-second day of a cold month, but George King Keet Jr., was horn on the twenty-second day of a warm month, and so was his good mother, and so was his old neighbor, who tells this story, and so we three of the warm time are here to-day to congratulate each other on our birthday anniversary. We represent three stages in the great drama of life: First, innocence and youth, free from all care. Just starling in the great race with nothing to worry about, with no tasks in sight but to be amused and chase the gay butterfly as it flits from flower to flower of his garden; happy boy—who has lived in his short life up to this time to have the sun rise and set 1,095 times on his happy home; may tne min con tinue to rise and set many, many more days and months and years In his life and never, never be clouded beyond the ordinary of a summer shower. The second picture in our group la the fond mother of the "happy boy" who received as her birthday gift the tiny Image, Baby Boy, who now prattles her name f.t all hours of the day. Warmest con gratulations and good wishes come to her from far and near and after her 12,045 days of busy care for others and herself she is entitled to and worthy of ttiem all. Long may she live to enjoy life and good health and prosperity. In conclusion. Time has dealt kindly with the third page of our little story whose blrthdav we think of to-day. who has lived 31,390 days, which have passed during his stay so far. To review the past days and weeks and months and years, and to record their memories would All a very large book and might not be worth reading. So we will not weary with the long, long story of the old man of our party—we only nope that we three may meet again with our friends who have Joined Jn our birthday greetings and celebration.
