Mr.. George Cary Egglestou says in

distinguished himself by certain
laughing nOnchalance under fire and
by his eager readiness to undertake
Stuart's most perilOus missions.
1t was in recognition Of some spe-
cially daring service of that kind that
Stuart gave him his promotion. The
delightful way in which the great boy

How Il Feels to ae Ru, Over.

'When l was run over.'' writes a
correspondent. II had not seen the car
approaching. The first thing knew
was that l was on the ground. kicking
upward with my legs in an effort to
get from under the car. Tt.en l felt q
wheel going over my chest, which
bent as it passed over. In the inter-
vening second or two l went through
several minutes worth of feelings. l
bad the sensations of establishment at
being on the ground. of wanting to roll
aside and away, Of bracipg myself
and my chest especially-stiF to resist
something, whatever it might be. while
a lightning fash of fear was dimly
there and a subconscious query. What
on earth nexty Yet it was hardly
fear, because there was ND time for
such a durable sensation. i, was rath-
er a sense Of being suddenl, confront
ed with a grave reality. or doubtful.

JUST GOSSIP
By THE COSSlPER.

Being a member of the BenevO.en.
good Standing. The Gossirer feels a
legiti innate right to resent a remark
made by young man on Beach
street Tuesday evening. The re-
mark in question was made during
conversation between three young
men standing in front of the Elks'
lodge room and just after the cere-
monies of initiation had been COM
pleted by the lodge. Here is the
question and reply: ''Why. do they
get drunk up there?" well. I
should say they do. They get so
polluted every time they have
meeting that many of them have to
be carried home on stretchers" This
remark is merely another illustration
of the mistaken apinion which many
people have of the Elks, the most
benevolent and charitable of all fra
nernal orders, the best social Organi-
zatiOn in existence and an order
which any woman should be proud to
say her father, brother, son Or sweet
heart belongs to. The order Of Elks
is probably the least understood by
people who are not members of any
of the fraternal organizations. The
! idea that the ElkS are sports and
that the members belong to the order
merely for the sake of having a good
time prevails. not only in Day;ona
but in many other cities in the
United States. and this idea IS en-
tirely wrong It's true that one OF
the fundamental principles Of the
order of Elks IS the scciahilty 70 be

Mixino His Dates.

There is story of man who was
SO transported with JOY as he stood
up at the altar rail to be married that
he stood up at the prisoners bar in a
court Of justice to plead guilty" or
mot guilty" to a criminal charge. So
powerfully did that. the mNst painful
event of his life. obtrude stself upon
his mind that when the clergyman put
the question, wilt thou have this wO-
man to be thy welded wife," and so
on. the poor distracted bride groom an

so polluted that they have to be car
ried home on etretchers." Practically
every set of club rooms in the
country maintained by a lodge of
Elks is open at all times to the
women relatives and friends of the
members and these women appreciate
the sociability of these club rooms
offered by. their husbands, fathers
and brothers. Members of the order
who are in positions to understand,
and others who are somewhat ac-
quainted with the inside workings of
the order, could tell much of the
charitable work done by this organi-
cation, but the rules of the order for
bid that these things shall be pub
lished or made known outside of
the membership. The Elks lodge
is. without question. the strongest
fraternal organization in Daytona and
the membership includes many of
the most prominent and highly re-
spected citizens of this city. Nobody
with good sense would, under any
conditions, accuse these men of ever
being 80 drunk they had to be car
ried home on stretchers," and the
wives, mothers and daughters of
these men have just as much right
as members of the order to resent
such remarks as the one quoted
above.
