"If Anything Happens, send for the

Elks.v
"If anything happens, send for the
Elks. They are my best friends." That
is what a poor sick little girl said to one
standing by her bedside.
In olden days her father was mem
Der of New York Lodge. Many time
he was heard to say that he would part
with all his possessions before ne parted
with his Elk membership. But man
proposes and God disposes.
Evil days befell him, and he seemed
to lose bis grip on life. Things went
from bad to worse and before many days
he gave up the fight. One dark night
he passed iuto the valley of the shadow,
leading behind him golden-haired
daughter to fight her battles alone.
1t was not until the odds were too
great for her to overcome, and sick and
helpless she groped for relief. 1t was
then she wrote the Exalted Ruler:
1.-THE doctor tells me | must get into
a hospital where | can have constant
care. But have no money or influence.
Many times l heard my father say
little girl, if anything goes wrong, send
for the Eks. They will be your best
friends Everything has gone wrong
and so bis little girl appeals to the EIks." ."
Through the kindness OF our good
chaplain, and one or two Of ber stalwart
brothers the little girl was soon placed
in the care OF the gentle nuns at -
hospital. When she entered they said
to her, 'Gn case OF an emergency, whom
shall we notify" No answer came.
"Have you a father, or mother, or
brother, or sister? and the girl sobbed as
her loneliness came pitilessly before her.
Then they asked, "Who is your best
frieud?" Her face frightened for a
moment and she smiled and said:
"If anything goes wrong send for the
Elks. They will be my best friends. "
they wrote it on the Identification card
Just as she bad spoken.
On a summers evening, when the
moonlight came into the ward, with 1t

to obey, and fathers little girl went to

"Her trust shall not be in vain," said
the secretary. 81 will come up immed-

A few days later she was laid to rest
beside her father. A hesdstOne tells

Strike Ends With RiOt.

Disorders more serious than any dur
ing the progress of the strike marked
the end yesterday of the struggle between
the NV York lougshorelnen and the
officers of the big transatlantic lines
by whom they had ust been re-employ-
cd. When the strikers appeared at the
piers to apply for their old positions as a
result of the vote of the men Thursday
night to call the strike movement. OF,
many strikebreskers were informed that
their services would be no longer requir-
ed. The stdkebreakers were directed TO
stop work for good at noon and go to
the pier offices for the money due them.
About 800 of them had been paid of
at the White Star Line docks and had
marched out into West street when a
hundred or more strikers armed with
clubs made a rush for them.
At the same time scores of other
strikebreakeIs began to pour from all the
doorways in the vicinity, and within a
minute the hundreds of men were en-
gagged in a hand-to-hsnd fight in the
street.
The strikebreakers fought entirely on
the defensive, however, and when a
score of policemen, who had been sum-
moned to the scene, began with their
clubs to open avenues OF escape the
strikebreakers took to their heels. But
the strikers had anticipated just such a
move and as the fleeing men darted into
side streets they were met by others who
had been waiting for them and they were
forced to fight it out again.
Clubs, knives and stones were used
freely in the series Of fights which con-
tinufd for nearly an hour, and many Of
the participants were bsdly beaten.
