Seven Ages Of Graft.

All the world Is graft.
And all the men and women merely
grafters.
They have their sure things and their
bunco games.
And one man In his time works many
gratis,
His bluffs being seven ages. At first
the infant
Coming his dad until he walks the
floor;
And then the whining schoolboy, por-
ing DER his books.
Jollying his teacher into marking him
A goodly grade. And then the lover.
Making each maiden think that she
Is but the only one. And then the sol
der.
Full OF strange words and bearded
like a pard.
Seeking the bubble reputation.
Even in the magazines. And then
the justice,
Handing out the bull con TO the bench
And jollying the jury till IL thinks
He knows II all. The sixth age shifts
To lean and slippery pantaloon.
With ~spectacles on nose-his is a
graft;
For he Is then the Old ~Inhabitant
And all must hear him talk. Last
scene of all.
That ends this strange. eventful his.
tory.

IN HONOR OF
THE DEPARTED
Eloquent Memorial Address Of Hon.
Frank e. Smith Delivered at the
Elks Memorial.
WHY THE ORDER LIVES
Founded Upon the Principle Of Com.
radship, It breaches Optimism
and Good Cheer.

Exalted Ruler, Brothers and
Friends: We have net this afternoon
in accordance with a time honored
custom of the Benevolent and Pro-
tective Order of Elks to pay a tribute
Of love, respect and honor to the de-
parted of our order, who have Joined
"the innumerable caravan that moves
to that mysterious realm. where each
shall take his place in the silent halls
OF death" This custom attaches
wherever a lodge of Elks is found,
and while the Supreme Ruler, in His
love and mercy, has seen fit to ex-
empt our local lodge from the a
ages of death, and while no member
of Lewistown Lodge No. 456 has ever
been called hence, we unite in paying
this tribute to the dead of our order
wherever dispersed.
This meeting in a lodge of sorrow,
this coming together in sympathy and
affection, is elevating and commend
able from every point of view, because
upon these occasions we endeavor to
cast out from our hearts all malice
and envy and every unmanly thought
and sentiment. to discard all the
grosser and selfish instincts, which
unfortunately are ~inseparable from
human nature, and in the contempla-
ton of the worthy lives and good
deeds of those members of our per-
sonal family whom death has remov
ed from our midst, we are lifted to a
higher, a broader, a more exalted
plane of thought, of feeling, Of sen
timent, of action.
In my address to you one year ago
called attention to the fact that,
aside from being essentially a social
organization, the Elks is in large de-
gree a charitable organization. Dur
ing the past year more than q quar-
ter of q million of. dollars has been
given to various charitable demands,
and, in accordance with our teach.
ings, in 80 unostentatious a manner
that the world at large knows nothing
Of It. It is retained as our only sec
ret, safely hidden in the repository Of
faithful breasts. With its charitable
feature | shall deal sparingly on this
occasion. 1t is as q social organic
alton that the Elks is most largely
misunderstood. Many Judge its en-
tire object to be that of hilarity and
fun making, and think that we are
an ungodly set altogether.
A certain local clergyman rolls up
his eyes in holy horror whenever the
Elks organization is mentioned. Not
that he knows anything detrimental
