hAHA and novel meeting that is
AfEgar1f&M characteristic Of the Owls,
6 VA Mn was held in It's nest above
& the Elks' hall last
Wednesday night. The
meeting was called at 10 o'clock, and
there were few who left for home UNI
I'll the early morning hours. A short
business session was held, after which
antics of all kinds were INDUCED in
and practiced upon the unsuspecting.
There were many who played cards,
Joined In the musical entertainment
and had a bully" good time In gen.
eral. Refreshments were also served,
and George Berger furnished good CT
gars. 1t was good to see few
strange faces. for some of the Owls,
like their ancestors of old, are of I'M
reliable habits and fail to come to the
home nest until they are hungry or
wish to get their feathers trimmed.
The following is not from Poor Rich
ards" saying. but good logic from a
brother OWL He says: Did 1t ever
occur to you that a mans life Is full
of crosses? He comes into this world
without his consent and goes out
against his will, and the trip between
the two Is rocky. The rule of con-
traries Is one of the features of the
trip.
When he is little the big girls kiss
MIN and when he is grown the little
girls kiss him. If he is poor he is a
bad manager; II he is rich he is dis
honest. II he needs credit he can't
get 1t: IL he is prosperous everyone
wants to do him a favor
If he is in politics it's for the pie; II he
is out of politics you can't find a place
for him and he is of no use to his
country. If he doesn't give to charity
he is a stingy cuss; IL he does it's for
outside show If he is actively re-
ligious he is a hypocrite; If he takes no
interest in religion he is a hardened
sinner
If he gives affection he Is a soft
specimen; If he cares for no one he is
blooded. II he dies young there
was a great future before him; II he
lives tc an old age he missed his cali
ing.
The road is rocky. but man loves to
travel it, and after all there is a good
deal of satisfaction, especially IL he is
we'll dressed.
Such Is life; and the purpose of the
Order of Owls is to eliminate these
ideas as much as possible, help the
weak and distressed and promote good
fellowship.

eating.
