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
