RIAL SERVICE
CONTINUED from First Page.

Mr. Harmon S address was fine
tribute to the Benevolent and PTotec-
tive Order Of Elks, and was expressed
most beautifully. He said in part:
1--WE have met upon an occasion and
under circumstances at once beautiful
in conception, and rich in meaning
aud sentiment in the execution. The
honoring of the dead the marking of
their resting place: the paying of tri-
butte to their memory. and the per
petuation thereof, is custom bound
ed to 20 race or color or creed. 1t
matters not what form the expression
of this sentiment may take, the sub
stance-the thought, remains the same.
All civiIization-all eoples-instinc-
lively shrink from the idea of eternal
oblivion, and in thus keeping green
the memory of those who have gone
before we express the most beautiful
sentiment of the human hearr, and per-
haps unconsciously reveal the hope
within US. that no matter what may
have been our station in life-wheth-
er we may have risen from the ranks
or not-whether we have played a
great part in the drama of life or our
endeavor limited to an hum bic envir-
onment- that our resting place shall
not go unmarked, and that our mem
ory shall not, at least by some, be
forgotten. Bowing then 10 this senti-
ment, and prompted by motives that
go unquestioned. the members of our
order have come today to give full ex-
preston to this thought. -

A Lesson From Henry Clay.

A well known southern politician

infreQuently spoke of an incident that
took place in his first term in congress,
IN which he received lesson in state

Henry Clay.

astic Whig." he said, "and entered
congress quivering with eagerness to
serve my party and to distinguish my
self. | was on my feet shouting, Mr..

If you go out with a coating of cream
