high lights there glistens a beautiful golden effect when the electric lights are turned on amidst the cut glass e1ectroliers which conceal the lamps upon the high ceilings. Over the sta ton of the Exalted Ruler is empaneled an oil painting, symbolic of Elkdom, depicting pair of Elk and their young in a wild mountain fastness. This is from the brush of Brother Louis Brock, a charter member of Bridge port lodge.

In the year 1867, a number of gen. tlenen belonging to the theatrical profession who, more from the desire of companionship and Bohemian free dom than aught else, formed a society which they called, 'The Jolly Corks.'' Their meeting were held in the parlor of a boarding house on Delaney St., New York, Sunday afternoons, and much time was spent in social inter course. At one of these convivial gatherings the question arose as to the feasibility of creating a secret order for charitable purposes. The subject was thoroughly discussed, and a com
 nittee was appointed to provide con stitution. ritual, set of bylaws, and was consumed by the committee in their important mission. This commit tee happened to meet at P. T. Bar struck by the appearance of a fine Elk's head which was suspended in conspicuous place as one of the feat ures of that old landmark. In looking up the history of the Elk, the chair man of the committee. George w. Thompson, became deeply interested by reading the description of 'tCervus Aces in Buffon's Natural History.
 ''It was fleet of foot, avoiding all combat except in fighting for the fe
 males and in defense of the young and helpless and weak He was captivat- ed by Goldsnnith's description of the Elk in his Animated History" and the researches and report confirmed the committee on their choice. A consti-

in secret, fearing more the blush of shame that comes of asking, than the panss of hunger, may feel that never will it's sore need, nor the manner of it's alleyiation be published to the world, and that the faults, the frail- ties, the necessities, and the help ex- tended will remain as sacred confiden- ces, never to be divulged.
 This fully explains the reason of the only secret of the order. Charity, Jus tice, Brotheriy Love and Fidelity are the watchwords of the order and hu- manity it's keynote; and daily and hourly do the prayers of the widow and the orphan ascend to the throne of grace, craving blessings upon the magnanimous and benefcient Order of Elks.

''HALF A YEAR
 BEHIND TIMES'' So Says a Man of All Ready Made Clothing and His Argument Is Logical SEASONS SAMPLES
 MADE SIX MONTHS
 IN ADVANCE But the Merchant Tailor Gan Give You the Styles Worn in Bond Street and Fifth Avenue Today.

A novel argument anent the much discussed clothes question came to the writer's notice recently. A man wear ing a ready-made suit was telling an- other about it's stylish lines. the latest material, etc, when he was astounded by his friends assertion that a ready. date, and that the very newest were half 8, year behind the times and many had enjoyed several birthdays since their style was the proper caper.
 .'In the first place." continued the assaiIant of ready-made clothes. fac tory made clothes must be designed far ahead of time in order that sam ples may be carried all over the coun- try by salesnen to induce orders. It requires many months in which to make up these samples and show them all over America. Then after the orr ders are booked it requires time to which is ready made, and which has gone through all this preparation | have mentioned be strictly stylish?''
 "why, never thought of that!" re- sponded the man with the ready-mad1 suit but there seems to be a whole lot to it.''
 'sThere is'' continued the other. 41 tell you if you want up-to-date clothes the merchant tailor has got to pro vide them. Whats new in New York or London today, hell get for you to- morrow. He doesn't have to make ul suits six months in advance. He IT akes them today, this minute, and his clothes are todays styles. And ha never has any shelves to pile up with -carry-overs from one season to another which tempt him to slip one into this seasons pile occasionally-just time for you to pick it.
 This is the gist of a genuine con- versation overheard by the writer and it certainly hits the nail on the head. If satisfaction in mems clothes is wanted the merchant tailor is the man 4,s1< rl>z~v-<> xnN taiIors and tai1ors. you know. Some are just like automatons-take your measure and furnish your suit.

 It is the impression of many outsid- CTS that the Order of E1ks is simply a social organization formed for the purpose of providing enjoyment for its members While it is true that there is probably no other organfza tion in the world in which the members are more sociable and look after one an others welfare in life whether in the line of pleasure or actual need, there is no fraternal organization more strictly benevolent and protective in every sense of the word than the F ks, and the charity and deeds of kind ness dispensed by the local lodge to it's needy members will, in all other lodges of the or6er. never be known to the outside world. The latch string of the lodge is always on the outside of the door and all good Elks are heartily welcomed at all times.

 IT. T. O. WIND FhOm WILLIAMS D The football game between the Phoenix Coyotes and the Williams high school yesterday morning was more of running match than an exhibition of football. It developed into a series of sprints from the cen- ter of the field to the Williams goal. These sprints were made by the high school boys and were not very seri- ously opposed by the Williams team. The score was something like 53 to o in favor of the Coyotes. but after the 50 mark was reached nobody kept score any longer. Coach Rockwell. for the high school eleven, said he was disappointed in the game, as he wanted to see Williams put up some sort of opposition to the tactics of his men. Williams was hopelessIy outclassed.
