THE HOME FOR AGED ELKS
 AT BEDFORD CITY, VA

of the home in a southern state The Elks of the south should be proud indeed to have the home where the southern sun will cast its benign beams upon it, and the gentle zephirs of southern breeze softly permeate Its every room and corri- der.
 As member of the home committee Mayor Drennen used every Influence pos- sible, exerted in every way ne couJd eff forts to have the committee decide upon a southern location, and well did he suc- ceed. He is a loyal member of the herd and has ever been alive to the order S every interest.
 The national home is beautifully fur nished and the Elks can with pardona- ble pride point to their new possession, their .'home," which to them Will be a sa- cred spot, a spot where rraternal love will with tender threads of unselfishness and of devotion to the highest principles of a mighty order.
 The home of the Elks is the elimination of bright hopes and fond ambitions; of much work and of high aims, swerving not at any barrier or obstacIe. Of this home, Elks can speak with pride, for in its realization there Is the accomplishment of lofty purpose, born and nourished In the hearts of over a hundred thousand men, men who upon the principles of the order stand upon the foundation of work whose scope broad ems each day, and whose work for good increases with every setting sun.

 Miss Isabel Hagner. social secretary to Mrs. Roosevelt. has by the death of her aunt Miss Frances Randall Hagner, fallen heir to s1D0,0Oo in money and, the handsome residence at 1916 H street.
 Miss Frances Randall Hagner was the elder sister of Miss Isabers father. At one time pr. Hagner was among the leading physicians at Washington. His mind failed under the strain of his du- ties, and for long time he was charge upon the slender income of his daughter. until it became necessary to place him in an insane asylum.
 The aunt's estate is remnant of the fortune of Peter Hagner, who was among the early settlers of Washington. Her home is one of the best colonial houses in the city, filled with beautiful colonial silver and furniture.

HREE years ago the Idea of es- tablishing a national home for
 aged and indigent members was

HREE years ago the idea of es-
 tablishing a national home for
 aged and indigent members was conceived by the great secret society, the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks. When advanced the suggestion met with the unqualified endorsement and hearty encouragement of the Elks throughout the United States, and as result the or der has today one of the finest institu- tions of the kind in the country.
 The grand lodge of the order took the matter up during the administration as exalted ruler. of B. M. Allen, of Birming- ham. A committee from the grand lodge was appointed to investigate the matter and ascertain if the plan was feasible. With characteristic zeal and energy the Eiks took hold of the movement, and as a result they now have in Bedford City. Va., a national home, into the walls or which aged Elks, who having neared their journey's end, may pass their re- maining years surrounded by the beauty of the Virginia hills, by every comfort Of life; there in peace and amid the quietuce of haven of rest they may spend the days when lifes shadow lengthens. and their sun Is well nigh set. And 1t will be from these aged Elks, who when young were wont to feed upon the green pas lures of Elkdom with other members Of the herd, but now to old to gambol with the rest, that the blessings will pour forth upon the order in this feature Of a noble work.
 The national home is surrounded by fourteen acres. enclosed with an iron fence The building was originally con- structed for hotel purposes, but for some reason its owners plans did nos material ize. When planning for a home the na- tional home committee of the grand lodge looked at the place and recommended to the order that it be purchased This was finally done. and at an outlay of about $2S,O the Elks have a home that could not be replaced for less than s10o,00o. Mayor w. M. Drennen of Birmingham was a member of the grand lodge com nlittee' from the south, and to him is largely due the credit for the establishing

The people of Kiowa are talking Of
petitioning the mail department to have
their mail sent from the Rock Island or
Union Pacific railroads on account Of
the irregularity of the c. & S. mail. So
says the Record.
Several county bridges are being built
in the vicinity of Norton postofiice, in
the central portion of the county. There
are two bridges needed in this vicinity
one across Sand creek, just north Of
town; the other across Kiowa creek, east
of the Sidney schoolhouse.
The teachers OF the county meet here
Friday and Saturday, and our people are
anticipating a rich treat in the lecture to
be delivered by Prof. Aylesworth on Fri
day evening in the Presbyterian church.
The lecture will be free to all.
An attorney told this story at Kiowa
the other day; When he was young
man he was trying lawsuit before a
county justice. The trial was held in a
portion Of the 'squire's house, known as
the '.lean-to." The jury was seated on
what he took to be bench. He was
making his final argument to the jury
and was eloquent as Demosthenes, when
by some mischance he struck one corner
of the supposed bench, and down came
the whole jury, and the bench proved to
be a trough OF soft soap, which spread
all over the floor. The attorney said it
was tho Rrst case of sssoft snapinp" the
jury hc was ever really guilty of.
