Elka, Memorial Service.

Mount Holly Lodge of Elks held its
annual memorial service at the Mount
Holly Opera House on Sunday night.
The officers and members were seated
on the stage. and the audience room was
crowded with invited guests.
The exercises consisted of ritualistic
work, the calling of the roll of deceased
members, giving the sign of grief, prayer
by the chaplain, vocal music and an ad-
dress.
The death roll now. numbers 80, of
which four occurred since the service last
December
The address was delivered by Rabbi
Joseph Krauskopf. D. D, of Philadel-.
phia, and was an able and interesting
effort
The speaker said that when such wise
and eminent writers as Prof. William
James, Maurice Maeterlinck and C@sare
Lombroso state that there are times when
the spirits of those who are dead can
make themselves known to their relatives
and friends on earth, there must be some
foundation for this belief and these state
ments.
The conclusions reached by these men,
after years of study and research, cannot
be thrust aside solely on the ground of
unbelief or by scofing. There must be
some ground for their statements, be they
right or wrong. 1t is no stretch of the
imagination to believe, even II we on
earth cannot communicate with those who
have passed away. that the spirits of our
dead are cognizant, at times, at least, of
what is transporting on earth. If this is
SO. how comforting must an occasion like
this be to the spirits of those who are
being remembered on this night.
1t a beautiful custom, he said and very
solemn and impressive one-the setting
aside of day each year by the Order of
Elks to have each and every lodge meet
In sacred session, in the presence of rela-
tives and friends of those gone before, to
commemorate the memories of departed
brothers. 1t demonstrates the teachings
OF the Order that wherever an Elk may
roam. whatever his lot in life may be,
living or dead, he is never forgotten, never
forsaken.
The musical part of the programme con-
sisted of excellent vocal selections by the
Fidelis Quartette, Of Philadelphia, as fol-
lows:
Bucks LEAD, Kindly Light" by the
quartette.
Nevin's "Hark. Hark, My SOUL" by

Weidner.

BURGLAR FELL AND
 BROKE HIS LEG

A burglar while attempting to en- ter the transom of Bluestein & Marks Coffee and Tea store fell and broke his leg, whereupon he sued the above
 firm for compensatory damages. E,uestein & Marks on being summoned before the court charged with break ing the burglars leg, admitted their guilt. but pleaded in mitigation of their offense that the transom from
 which the burglar had fallen was not built level and true, it's improper, an- gle having thus caused the intruder to lose his grip and fall Consequent ly the defendants begged to suggest to the court that the carpenter who laid the transom was really the man
 that had broken the burglars leg. The court recognizing the merit of the defense, issued a warrant for the ar
 rest of the carpenter and formally charged him with the assault. The carpenter with becoming meslem hum- fifty, pleaded guilty to the charge. He had broken the burglars leg-of that there could be no doubt But your hon. CT he said.' I beg to interpose on my own behalf the fact tbat I could not possibly lay the transom true, owing to the faulty construction of the un- deriving masonry. I but did the best
 I could and while recognizing the enormity of my offense in thus break ing the poor mans leg, implore your
 worship to consider weather, as a r1atter of law and justice, the mason
 (Tom Poole), who built the wall so badly is not the real culprit. He cer- tainly did a bum job, that mason. why, your honor, those bricks ''enough said the judge. Sheriff is- sue subpoena duces tecum for this mason forwith and bring him hither.
 "The mason thus summarily charg- ed with breaking the burglars leg, entered prompt plea of guilty. He lad committed the assault. He said of that there could be no doubt what ever. But there was mitigating circumstance which he desired to call to his honors attention to wit, name ly certain pretty girl in a blue shawl, who, passing up and down the street while he the wretched mason, was engaged on the wall in question, had so distracted and diverted him as tc prevent him from keeping his mind on the work. He simply could not take his eyes off that blue shawl, with the results-the wall horribly constructed. and he himself guilty of
