vegetation and with constantly changing
sights and sounds of the animal world.

and Mexico, the months are named Vari-

the return of mosquitoes and the appear
ance OF fishes. The Greeks constantly
used The movements Of birds to mark
the seasons: the arrival of the swallow
and kite were thus noted. HesiOd tells
us how the cry Of the crane signaled the
departure Of winter while the setting
Of the pleiades gave notice to the plow-

wooDMEN OF THE WORLD.


THE N-oosImen OF the World have a cap
tisatlng way OF emerging now and then
from tbs realm of mystery and secrecy
that ensnrouds their ordinary session, and
inviting their friends to wander With them
In pleasant daliianca through the glades
and de,ls OF the forest Such an occa-
sion was last night when Seattle Camp No.
50 held open session in Elks' hall, Cot
man block.
Ii needs only the most casual announce
msut OF such n session to draw a crowd.
The large hall, suitably decorated and
brilliantly lighted. WAS filled even 10 the
ouiermOst threshold OF the vestibuie. with
a crows which was in itself testimonial
10 the excellent standing OF Woodcratt In
this community. The crowd was not dis
appointed. Apart from general interest in
the doings OF the camp, the programme
WAS of Itself an ample reward for Drawing
the snclemency of the evening. From the
opening notes of the overture by the Man
doin Club down to the last lingering
cadence that marked the close of the dance
there was not a dun or uninteresting mo-
nsent. Most of the performers were en-
eored heartily. several OF them more than
once.
After the overture with which the pro-
gramme opened came an admirable violin
solo by Louis Singerman, accompanied on
the piano by his brother ISadore Singer
man. This was followed by a ma ST erIy
baritone saio By Water e. Elliott. who
rendered with much feeling classic and
yet popular selection "An Eternity" So
completely did Mr. Elliott eaptivate his
audience that he was compelled to re-
spond 10 two encores.
Then came the address OF the evening
4 happy presen tation of Woodcraft by
c. W. Wheeler, Of Waitesburr. grand les
turer OF the Pacific jurisdiction. At the
close Of the address the Mandolin Club
again rendered q selection. Mrs. William
Whittlesey then sang solo so charmingiy
tina; the audience imposed on her for two
eneores In response 20 the first she sang
''Ihe Gypsy's Wooing" and for thu SEC
ond the national song OF the Woodmen
Keep the logs a~rolling, boys which was
received with voctfeross applause.
The last number ON the programme was
a banjo SOLO by Eli Long. He, too. sur
fsred the penalty Of popularity and after
a mastery rendition Of Nellie Gray
with variations. ne was compelled to re-
gpond 10 two encores.
An enjoyable dance followed the literary
ard musical pragramr1e
