The Elks.
Memphis News-Scimitaf.

Memphis News-Scimitar
The death and funeral of very old
lady at st. Joseph's Hospital on Friday
revealed to the world some of the good
deeds of the Order of Elks. This ven
cradle lady was in very moderate Cir
cumstances and had been all her life.
She was feeble and unable to assist her.
self, and, twelve years ago, her son,
who was her sole dependence and sup
port, suddenly died, leaving her in
destitute circumstances. He belonged
to the Order of Elks, and while it was
bound in no way by contract or obliga-
ton to give her anything, the fact that
she was helpless and destitute was all
the charter the Elks needed, aud for
twelve years they have been furnish
ing her with every necessity and COM
fort, and, until the other day, the world
was none the wiser for it. When the
weight of advancing years made it
necessary for the venerable lady to
have constant attendance she was plac-
ed in the care of the good Sisters at
st. Joseph's Hospital, who ministered
to her wants as long as she lived, and
composed her body when life left her.
Her remains were taken in charge by a
leading undertaken and was given a
burial fit for any one. Not only were
beautiful coffin and habit and floral
tribute provided for her, but the Order
of Eks furnished the pall-bearers, the
leading officers of the local lodge being
among the number, and they escorted
her remains to the cemetery and laid
them to rest with every mark of respect,
tenderness and affection.
There are those who criticise the Or
der of Elks unsparingly, and, being
human, no doubt some of the members
do those things which they should
leave undone; but acts like this will re-
