ORIGIN OF ELKS "HELLO BILL"
Story of How and Where the tx
preston Started.

When Americus Elks, as do others
of the B. P. 0. E. meet a brother Elk
the salutation Hello Bill is usually
given. In fact, it is now almost the
official greeting, recognized the world
over, and many have doubtless Won
tered where the Hell (o) Bill really
came from.
Back in 1894, when there was a
schism in the organization, the two
factions met in Atlantic City for a
peace parley. At the time William G..
Myers, of Philadelphia, was the grand
esteemed leading light, and one of
the most popular men in the or
der. st

hundreds Of Elks congregated at the
station to meet Mr. Myers.
When bill" Myers stepped off the
car a big sEfooter shouted Hello
Bfl!" and the crowd took up the sal
utation with hearty laugh, and
from that day to this Hello, Bill
is so universally used among Elks
that it has virtually become Off

Samuel Lewis is a chiropodist. a
wandering Snowman and an artist of
no mean ability. By means of acids.
paint brushes and other materials he
raised the bills, both by changing the
lettering and by painting an Indian
head in the place of the eagle.
The counterfeiters have swindled
merchants in many Indiana towns,
for Capt Halls has identified the
raised bills bills as Lewis's work.
Capt. Halls found all of the goods
packed up ready for shipment.
In the disposal of their raised"
bills the two worked together. They
generally sought out unsuspecting
merchants in the edges of the cities

Activity of the Grim Reaper.

Death has entered the households
of this community with more than
usual frequency OF late. From out
of our midst have been taken many
who were widely known and deeply
beloved Alike the young and the
middle aged and the old have been
called into the great mystery of the
beyond. And their passing has cast
pail of gloom, not alone over the
home-circles of which they were
members, but over the city at large.
AT this season when holiday joys
are supposed to prevail, there are
many sad hearts; many who mourn
the passing from their midst of low
ed one whose memory will linger
with them through all the coming
years until they, too, shall join the
silent majority.
But into the depths of the sorrow
of those who grieve for the loss of
relative or friend there should enter
the thought that the life just ended
has fulfilled the mission for which it
was created and gone to the reward
that awaits it, 1t is hard, sometimes,
to understand just what this mission
was. and why, because of its compile
tion, the bearer of it must be taken
away from this sphere of human life.
But at the end, there are few to
whom Death does not come as a well
come visitor After the weary way,
it comes as sweet rest. The burdens,
well-hidden though they were, be-
meath which the heart has been
crushed, are forgotten never to be
remembered again. AS the poet said
"That which we call Death is but
portal to life elysian" But even
the realization of these things brings
scant comfort to the recently bereav-
ed Only the healer Time can fill the
aching void left by the passing of
the one who has gone before"

eral Keller has been on the speakers
list of appointees for the ways and

ii has been stricken off and Long
worth substituted. There have been
protests from the Ohio delegation
against the selection of Longworth,
but SO far without avail.

The New York Banks.

1t would be perfectly proper for
the controller of the currency to
carefully inquire how and why the
New York national bank reserves
were only about eleven per cent of
the legally required amount when the
panic got in its first work. These
banks had been making reports at
stated times. Were their reports mis-
leading, or did the department. know
that their reserves were below re-
quirements? If the publicity" of
banks is no more accurate than final
emergencies often reveal, of what
good will be the publicity require
ments of corporations?
