 To one who has never attended a soc lia session of the Elks. no description can give an adequate idea. A toast master. chairman. or fine-mastcr, eff you will) presides over the session, ard no ruling tyrant ever had more control over his vassals than does this ,r what he orders an Elk to do. his re- quest is promptly obD yed, and if obey cd with too much alacrity he is fined; or. if the performer is slow, or indiifer- ent about the way he carries out the orders he is fined or spanked before the audience. or otherwise wounded in dignity. as well as in purse.
 At social session in Macon, Ga, re- gently, the mayor of the city. after re- peated failures to please the fastidious toast-master, finally appeased his high ness and cOnvulsed the audience with the following poem which states the case exactly:
 When fellow cant dance, tell a story
 or sing.
 And really and truly cant do anything And knows it will cost him a dollar or
 two,
 What in the world Is d fellow to do? For its a fine for not doing. And it's a fire if you do, Because the Finer will fine you, And quite heavily too If clumsy his feet be for the jig or the
 reel,
 His poetry of motion run down at the
 heel.
 And there isn't line in the toe of his shoe,
 What in the world is fellow to do? For it's fine for not dancing. It's a fine if you dancc,- You might as well pay up Your fine in advance. If the stories he tells are hoary with
 age.
 And arouse in his listeners a feeling of
 rage,
 And he never gets hold of a story that's
 new,
 What in the world is a fellow to do? For it. a fine for not telling -h Sbp'l SUI y bl St, And, if you tell it. remember You pay fine shO'. If the tunes of his songs get twisted
 awry,
 And his top-notc goes soaring far up
 in the sky, And is lost in the haze of the Ccrulean
 blue,
 What in the world is a fellow 10 do? For ifs fine for not singing. And it's q fine if you do, So you may as well cough up A big dollar or two. But after it's over, and we've all done
 our best,
 To give to the Session it's essential
 Zcst,
 Wen give the fine master, like Elks
 good and true, And chearfully cough up, our big
 dollar or two, For hes the finest of "F'inerS.' The finest you'll find. May he live long to fine us At times of this kind
