GWILLKIMBY,s TROUSERS.
4 Cherished DelusIon About His Personal
structure Dispelled.

Another long cherished delusion shat
tered" said Mr.. Gwillkimby,
when had come to be old enough to
pay attention TO my personal attire /
soon discovered that ono Of my trouser
legs was, or seemed TO be. longer than
the other. When l measured the
trousers | found the two legs to lie Of
exactly the samc length. and so when
ever ! ordered clothes always had the
right leg OF the trousers made half an
inch longer than the left. and this custom
have followed TO the present day.
Now for the shattered delusion.
'Whon / first had trousers made in
that way. with one leg longer than tho
other. the tailor who measured me told
me that my right hip was little bigger
and higher than the other and SO took
the cloth up more on that side.
$50 for years, for many years in fact.
| Ind my trousers made with the right
leg half an inch longer than the left; and
then day before yesterday | ordered a
suit of clothes OF another tailor. and
when he came to measure me for the
trousers | told him wanted the right
leg made half an inch longer and casu-
ally mentioned the reason.
The new tailor smiled little at that
anu tOucheu tne points OF my mp bones.
Then he scanned my BODY with his eye
and he smiled
~lt isn't your hips he said: your
hips are all right; it's your shoulders.
You carry. your left shoulder lower than
your right and that let's your left trou-
ser leg down b. that much. What you
want is TO have the left trouser leg made
half an inch shorter He is building
them that way.
Il can't really see that il would make
any substantial difference how the tr)u-
sers were made to be even at tho bottom.
whether this was done by making the
right leg half an inch longer or the left
leg. half an inch shorter. but it was a
little shock 10 me to have a new reason
assigned for the necessity of doing this;
] had hugged that old delusion so long,
Really | had. come to consider that sup
posed variation IN my hips as a personal
popularity to take pride in

was rendered doubly pathetic by his life long intimacy with the departed brothers and his Gp- preciation of their sterling quail ties.
 His Speech in part is as follows: ''The heavens declare the glory of God. and the frnanme1 show eth His handiwork. " So the immortal soul, which takes abode with every mortal during the brief journey from the cradle to the grave, is likewise of his handiwork, and when released from it's tenement of clay, we may well believe that it wings it's way far hence, to lend height ened grace and beauty to the Armament of everlasting brother hood. And even though it be- only in the flights poetic fancy that we Set the souls of our bro thers among the visible diadems of the. arching skies, yet our faith that they have been received into the house not made by hands, eternal in the heavens, is behind the call that brings us together today to commemorate their vir- tues.
 My brothers and friends, if nothing more reaulted from these annual gatherings of a great fra ternity then the consciousness of having rendered just respect to the memory of the dead, we should still feel the current of our daily lives setting more strongly toward nobler purpose and high CT hope. But the value of mem orial day may be greatly enhan- ced and the Order itselfy raised to a still higher plane of usefulness if we shall learn and practice the lessons suggested by the spirit of the occasion.
 The outposts of this great Order are, in the grace of God, destined to light tiIe place where men now strive in darkness, and it's Lodge dotted over the sur face of the whole globe, shall so illuminate the hearts of men that malice and vile shall find no home there.
 And that light shall sweep and
 circle to the very ends of the
 earth.
 Touching with immortal beauty
 every heart and every hearth. <"

Elk Pay Tribute To Departed Brothers Memorial Service at the Opera House, Beautiful
 and impressive Hon. Elias s. Clark EulOgises Absent
 Members

clouds and cold winds signing a mournful dirge that seemed in keeping with the occasion, Wins tow Lodge No. 536, B. P. o. E., conforming to the annual custom of the order throughout the country, met last Sunday after noon in the Opera House to do honor to their departed brothers The exercises being open to the public the hall was comfortably filled before the local lodge head ed by it's officers and each wear ing a carnation in the lapel, filed in to the accompaniment of the Pilgrem's Funeral March by Thannheauser. The stage and hall were beautifully and tastefully decorated with a profusion of roses. chrysanthemas, smilax and ferns, and an Elk head draped with flowers and the white and purple of the order occupied the front center of stage. The opening exercises conducted by Exalted Ruler w. G. Kelley was followed by the roll call of absent brothers sign of grief by the impressive sign of grief by the lo.{ge standing. The song, Our Absent Brothers" sung by the iodge and joined in by the audi ence was followed by the invo- cation delivered by Rev. T. M. Connolly.
 Arthur c. Smith in his usually pleasing style, rendered vocal solo, "The Homeland" by Hans com.
 Father Connolly's address touching the key note of the ob- servance, was favorably received and in part was as follows:
 'The annual Memorial Day presents a beautiful custom; one that as for benevolent organ izations are concerned is peculi- arly your own; a custom which could solely have sprung spon- taneously from hearts who prac- tice with fidelity the principles of Charity, Justice and Brotherly Love. These three virtues form the basis of your order.
 Can the intelligence of man conceive a more permanent foundation to promote Q spirite of fraternity amoug men here be- low?
 This trinity of virtues is cay able eventually of changing this Vale of Tears into a veritable paradise. With you the faults of your brothers are" written on the sand, their virtuers upon tablets of love and memory.
 What stinging rebuke does not this motto administer to the world at large in our day.
 Every human being here below should be the realization of some ideal, either in the mind of the Creator, or in the mind of man, He who fails entirely in the one or the other respect, has lived in vain.
 Let me say in conclusion; to be true to your principals and true to yourselves, and you will not fail to become and continue good and worthy men, and cred itable.''
 "Oh, Devine Redeemer" a vocal solo rendered by Miss Jessica Reed was truly beautiful and touched a sympathetic chord in the hearts of. Miss Reed pos sesses a voice rich in tone and vol ume and her promising future Tn the vocal world should be a source of pride to the people of WinslOw.
 The memoral address by Hon. Elias s. Clark of Prescott was masterful and eloquent, His eulogy of the deceased members, F. M. Buck and A. F. McAllister

WANTS PATENTS
SAFEGUARDED

An address on the safeguarding Of
patents by Thomas II. Savery, of this
city, at the annual meeting of the
National Board of Trade at Washing
ton at it's closing session on Thursday
aroused much interest. In part Mr.
Savery said:
1--WE do not ask for money. We DO
ask for justice. Nvo do ask that Of
fetal government contracts shall not D,
modified OF broken, and we hope for
the influence Of the National Board Of
Trade. toward giving citizens OF the
United states, owners of British pat
ents, protection from confiscation. The
new English patent act has been in
force about one year. and has already
been brought to the attention Of Con-
gress by The Commissioner Of Patents.
but it has not vet been determined
what should be done in order to obtain
for the American patentee the rights
to which he is justly entitled. 1t is said
that this recent English patent law is
a matter of policy, with Great Britain,
having in view the increase Of her in
dustries and of work for her lahoring
men-by compelling all foreigners to
have their inventions manufactured in
Great Britain by English workmen. \
policy Of retaliation has been suggest
ed, but has not been approved"
