in every city where the Elks lIave held
their annual reunions councils have ap-
propriated large sums for decorations
and contributed to the entertainment fund.
The city of Denver last year erected a
welcome arch at a cost of So, 500. and, in
addition, gave $4,000 to the general fund
Tor entertaining the visitors The county
commissioners of Denver also appropriated
$500 for the same purpose. This makes
a total of $4,000 which Denver spent on
the Elks. The business men of that city
raised a fund of $S3, 200 for entertainment
purposes. making grand total of Sl1S,-
GOO. Buffalo, In 1905 erected at cost
OF 100000 a court of honor and a large
column of electric lights. besides appro-
priating $4,000 toward the entertain-
ment fund. Cincinnati in 1894 Baltimore
In 1903, Milwaukee in 1892. and other cities
did their share in the way of appropriating
money tor the reception and entertainment
OF the Etks. and, it is argued. as Philadel-
phia will probably see the largest gather

242 What was the purpose of the genoa
logical tables of patriarchal times, as in
First Chronicles?
Answer. This book was intended to set
forth briefly the career of David. His
genealogy is traced for twenty-eight CEN
turtles beginning with Adam. 1t was the
custom among scholars of the orient to
glorify their kings by showing the long line
of their ancestry. But in this regard David
surpassed all other rulers, thereby becom-
ing the most illustrious of all sovereigns
in the preChristian centuries Matthew in
his first chapter abbreviates the record in
the Chronicles and then extends the line
to the Advent, thereby showing that Christ
was greater than David, having a direct
and well-known lineage of forty centuries.
The ultimate purpose of the table was
therefore Nessianic. 1t had, however, an
other end to serve-it made the early por-
tons of. the Bible historical and not
NEUROLOGICAL, as if designed to refute the
views of certain critics of our time and
binding the ages together. ADAM David,
Christ were all real characters.

Asks Cloyd to Pay
For Very Old Eggs
SPOKANE DETECTIVE FILES SUIT
FOR SERVICES AS sLEuTH IN
RUNNING DOWN cuLPRlT.

WHEELING, Aug. 16.-Word has
been received from Spokane, Wash,
to the effect that the well known egg
throwing epidemic in which Principal
D. A. Cloyd and several High school
boys were directly interested, and
which has been considerable annoy
ance to the school board Of that city,
as well as to the friends and enemies
CT the former principal is to be final
ly settled in court.
L. X. Church, a Spokane detective.
through his attorney, E. o. Conner,
has filed a complaint against D. E.
Cloyd, in which the plaintiff prays for
judgment against Mr.. Cloyd for $3.50,
a balance due for detective services.
The complaint sets up the contract
of April &c between the parties to this
action, in which the defendant, Mr..
Cloyd, agrees to pay to the Church
street Secret Service Agency $3.50 for
securing the arrest, absolute proof
and evidence to convict one Of the
boys who threw eggs at himself and
wife one evening during the investi-
cation conducted by the school board,
and $50 additional for each and every
boy against whom evidence and proof
can be secured that he was one Of the
culprits in The egg throwing.
The plaintiff alleges that after Sc
curing evidence on which one boy was
arrested, he secured proof against
nine others, which, according to the
contract entitled the detective to
$500 for his services, bill for that
amount being presented TO the school
board. The board paid the plaintiff
$3.50 for his services, and suit is now
brought against Mr.. cloyd personally
for the $3.50 which remains unpaid.
After being ousted from the position
of principal of the High school Mr..
cloyd started what was known as the
Spokane Academy. 1t is stated that
this institution has been abandoned.
1t is understood that Mr.. Cloyd mas
closed a contract with the board Of
education at ogden, Utah, to take the
principalship of the High school In
that city.
GAS yet have found no parties in
terested in carrying on the work of
the academy started by myself" says
Mr.. Cloyi. unless someone turns up
before leave for Ogden who wants
to take over the academy in this city
it will be abandoned"
When asked If he had disposed OF
the property, which he had purchased
at a cost Of 10000 for conducting the
school, MI. cloyd stated that he had
not.

full book, "The Incubator Baby" is de-
scribed by him as gentle satire on
scientific motherhood" and the little
story deals in a cleverly humorous way
with the rearing of an infant by the
incubator process under the direction
of a committee of women from the Fed
Grafton of Women's Clubs. While it
has been read with huge delight by
many members of women's clubs who
have caught the sparkle of the satire,
others view II differently. One woman
writes: IF some men would keep their
noses out of babies cradles and leave
we women to attend to the infants up

youngsters in the world. Take one nor
mally sensible man and bring him into
contact with his first-borri, kicking off
