IN MEMoRlAM.

Joseph L. Lyman departed this life
during thunder storm, July %, 1908.
The lightning flashed, the thunder
rolled,
The tempest's rage was grand,
The storm brought fear to all,
Throughout this happy land.
A soul has gone unto its God,
Unto the Masters help;
A youth we loved in life.
In cold death now does sleep.
We draw the curtain. friends do see
Those lips forever dumb,
See his icy marble brow.
An honest heart IS numb.
The storm chills the stoutest hearts
On his face is bright smile,
Telling us 10 do our parts
And always keep from guile.
In that frame cold and chill
Once was a busy brain.
An honest heart. a noble will,
A life, too, full Of pain.
His soul, his tongue. his pen,
Could not by wealth be bought,
He served his God and fellow men,
He worked as best he thought,
Do not start at tempest's roar,
But peace with Him. do seek.
That when you reach the distant shore
You will join the chosen meek.
Joseph L. Lyman. son Of William w
and Mary NJ. Lyman. Marshallton,
graduate of Goldey College, a cousin
of Prof. Goldey, died July %, 1905
mourned by all who knew him.

The Eks At
Christmas Tide

This is the time of the year that
the B. p. o Elks are the busiest,
searching the highways and the by.
ways for the needy and appointing
committees to ASCERTAIN where they
may do the most good They never
let ChristmAs 60 by without doing
something that makes the world bot.
ter and life more pleasant.
This year they are doing several
things. First. they are going TO give
an entertainments called the "Kir
mess Originally 'Kirmess'' was
a religious festival held in Belgium
aud Holland under the patronage Of
the clergy. In more modern times II
is social and musical entertainment.
The Elks are giving their share Of
the proceeds for the benefit of the
public library.
Because of the nature and the mo-
tive Of their efforts. many people have
become much interesed in this event.
On Saturday afternoon at . meeting
held, there were nearly forty people
present, all of whom were much in.
terssted and great many Of the
ladies volunteered their personal aid.
and the work is going along nicely.
The invi tations for tho ball are In
the hands Of the committee, and NO
one will be admitted without an invi-
tation or without being vouohed for
by some well-known person.
Then another thing they arc doing
for the children is . departure from
the custom heretofore followed. In.
stead Of the usual Christmastree. they
have rented the Majestic theatre for the
entire afternoon Of Saturday. the
26th, and arrangements have been
made to entertain all children In the
city Of school age. The teachers will
lend their assistance aud the school
children will meet at their school
rooms with their teacher, and with
the other children Of the city who
are not enrolled a. pupila,a . O'Clock
that afternoon. Every thirty min.
utes there will be new show, and n
sufficient number Of the pupils will
march with their teacher to the
theatre. Tickets have been placed
with the tesohers for froe distribu-
tion to the little ones. Every child
in the city 10 invited TO be the guest
Of the Elks at the Majestic on satur.
day afternoon. and any child apply ring
to any of the school teschers will be
provided with tickets and otherwise
taken care Of.
