Sunday afternoon at four o'clock,
at their attractive lodge rooms the
Ocala Lodge No. S51, B. P. o. E., met
for an hours session OF sorrow, as a
mark of love and respect for their
honored dead.
This day had been set apart by the
Elks all over the country for the
memorial services, and the idea that
the Elks in so many different places
at that identical hour were thus hon.
Oring their departed brothers was a
most inspiring one.
During the voluntary played by Miss
Wartmann the lodge members enter
ed the hall and took their seats, the
exalted ruler, Mr.. Stephen Jewett,
occupying a chair on the platform
and the other officers in their respect
i've places, viz: Mr.. Bradford Webb,
esteemed leading knight; Mr. Edward
Drake, esteemed loyal knight; Mr..
Sidney Halle, esteemed lecturing
knight; Mr. Alfred ]. Beck, tiler; Mr..
Robert D. Mathews, inner guard. Mr..
George Bitch was acting secretary,
and Mr.. E. ]. Crook was acting treas
urer
The exalted ruler called the lodge
to order and shortly afterwards the
roll of the dead members was called
by the secretary. Those whose
names were called and who will new
er again answer to an earthly roll call
were Messrs. A. T. Priest, S. w. Tea
que. S. A. STANDBY, E. L. Mcintosh
NJ. H Newberger, H. G. Keen, J. L.
Wyche, H. A. Ford, T. H. Wallis and
P. R. Lester.
A lovely QUartette by Messrs. =. J.
and A. z. Gerig, Mrs. H. H. Lapham
and Mrs R. G. Blake, entitled, DAY
break" was beautifully rendered, fol
lowed by the ritual of the order.
After the singing of the opening
ode and a beautiful prayer, Rev. G. H.
Harrison of Grace Episcopal church,
delivered a short address. which was
very pleasing to all who heard him.
He used as the four subjects of his
talk the words, Charity, Justice,
Brotherly Love, Fidelity, which are
written across the portals of the
Elks, and emblazOned upon their
shields. The sentiments dwelt upon
by Mr.. Harrison were clothed in Ian.
guage of unusual beauty, and his talk
was an inspiration to not only the
Elks but to all those who were pres
ent on Sunday.
Mrs. E. H. Mote sang very sweetly
after Mr.. Harrisons address, her
song, entitled, THE Homeland" be-
ing exceedingly pretty. Her song
was followed by the closing ceremon-
les of the order, conducted by the ex
allied ruler.
Besides the members of the lodge
present on Sunday at the session OF
sorrow, there were many others in at
tendance, among them being quite a
number of ladies.

Papke tried with left stabs TO keep
Ketchell away, but the blows brushed
