There seems to be little danger
that the Elks' fraternity will
evolve into religion. He knows
that truth is a point of view, that
all is relative, that nothing is
final nor absolute, nor can it De
in a world where nothing is per-
manent but change.
So the Elk's religion is Now
and Here; to partake of all good
things in moderation: to give out
love and kindness because these
things come back, and to supply
scrap only to the man who re-
peatedly asks for it, and will ac-
cept nothing else-this as mat
ter of accommodation
To do good is the first prong in
an Elk's creed. And he realizes,
being wise that the best way to
benefit yourself is to benefit
others.

The Elk never weeps over his
own troubles, but for the stricken
souls of earth his tears of pity
are near the surface. He loves
children. respects old age. and so
far as I have seen doesn't incline
especially toward indifference to
feminine charms
1 believe this will hold: No
little apology for a man ever
joined the Elks-he would not
feel at home among them. To be
an Elk YOU must have faith in
other men, faith in yourself, and
faith in the universe.
The Elks all look alike. and
are all of one age. Just what that
age IS | have not made out, but it
lies somewhere between 30 and

maple to take possession of land

fitness for the fact that | had the
good fortune to spend my boy
hood in the country, where made
the intimate acquaintance of the
oueen of American trees, the
sugar maple, which is far more
wonderful in its gifts to mankind
than any of the Wanted monoco-
tyledons of the lazy tropics, with
their ready-made bread and
ready soured milk.
If you have ever tapped"
sugar maple and drank the juice
fresh from the tree: if you have
ever attended a sugar party and
tasted the indescribable candy"
produced by throwing the boiling
syrup upon a bank of fresh snow,
where it is quickly frozen into a
mamma that seems to combine the
flavors and perfumes of all the
fruits and flowers of Paradise; If
you have ever eaten, on your
morning pancakes, real, genuine,
unadulterated maple syrup-syr-
up that would pass even DR.. Wi
ley's nspection-syrup that would
turn sour in the mere presence
of a patent can; if among your
fathers trea sures was a "secre
tary," or big writing desk, made
of that most exquisite of cabinet
woods, bird s-eye maple"-then
you will rejoice with me over the
