Kept Smiling
and Digging

In smiles we we're born. With
smiles you must accept US. We are
Just one big, broad, catching smile all
the way through smile or hope Of
happiness, or mirth. A smile made
Mona Lisa famous. This world has
wondered why. Elks don't wonder;
they know. That's what the word
Elk really means-a smile. Care and
trouble have no place among US. We
see beyond the dark clouds and revel
in the golden sunlight. The blue fog
fades before our gaze and a thous.
and marvels tranfx us. We smile,
that's why. Life's too short to worry.
You are wasting time to fret. Don't
peeve, it brings you nothing, and, roh,
what gloom it casts on others. For
get your troubles.
Did you ever hear how the Pana-
ma canal was built? Well tell you.
Uncle Sam didn't look across the 18TH
mus and wonder whether it could be
done. Cries of derision across the
water didn't even cause frown. No.
He Just laughed and thought: "Ill
show 'em. And he did. When the
floods came and swept away the work
Of many months, Of years; did he
lean on his great spade discouraged?
Not for a minute. He Just laughed
and went on digging. When land
slides and tumultuous quakes rent
the earth and set to naught his hard
labor, did he worry? Did the echoes
from a hundred lands saying, II told
you so" wrinkle his forehead with a
frown? No. Not your Uncle Sammy.
He Just kept on digging!
Now wasn't that easy? Yet that's
the way the great project was accom-
plished. All with a smile. You see,
Uncle Sans an Elk-and he just
smiled; then the next fellow smiled,
and the next and so on down the line.

itiation exercises to proceed after he
had been struck with q stuffed club
Is he entered the lodge room blind
folded. The editor of a local jour
nal, himself an Elk, has made this
poetical comment on the rather un-
usual incident:
They Hit Him from Behind
When ~ approached the Lodge
room door,
To every object blind
We shudder now to tell the rest:
They hit him from behind.
A club was used q rubber, club,
Stuffed full Of air and wind;
It Jared his dignity and pride,
For it was used behind.
Great men had entered at this door,
And never kicked or whined,
And took no notice of the fact,
When struck at from behind
When he was hit, he drew up straight
Tore from his face the blind,
And with a tragic yell inquired:
who hit me from behind?'
Says he: Have you so far forgot
MY mighty race and kind,
That you would touch a high'born
Il
And hit him from behind?'
And straightway from the hall he
strobe,
And Elkdom then consigned
To where the imps of darkness dwell,
And prod one from behind.
And so the Elks all DER the land
Are Of the self.same mind;
Regretful that n failed to get
Where all could whack behind.

''Be Ye Of

and grouches and little blue devils
there may be in this imperfect world,
and so there will always be room for
the spirit which has made the Fra
ternal Order of Elks the synonym for
laughter and jollity the country over.
Having a good time is important
Joy is important Friendliness is i'm

Charity and tolerance Of human i'm.
projections is important. The Elks
have a sort of joint-stock combine on

are rich in the assets of a world in
which one must do the best one can
under difficulties. Their philosophy
Of brotherhood to the extent that they
live it sincerely, replaces the old,
primitive struggle for existence by
the higher laws of good fellowship
and cooperation. If an Elk doesn't
get rich and powerful and famous in
the handicap race Of life, he may
know that he has had already many
values which make the game of liv.
ing worth the candle - congenial
friends, merry comrades, the remem.
brances of brotherly kindnesses un-
grudgingly given and received, and
the memories of many happy hours
warmed and lighted by the human
atmosphere which makes the climate. "

good-myself," wrote Robert Louis
Stevenson, "as for my neighbor, I
will make him happy if l can" l

Ere Midnight's holy quiet

To those who are not here.

when the WorId,s AIl New.

1t is the same old world that we
greeted on New Years morning. But
somehow it looked so different The
invisible dividing line between last
year and this has made possible a
new angle Of vision. The grip of old
passions seems to have lost it's hold
and new purpose, partly old, partly
new, throbs for recognition. A gen.
tleness appears in faces thought to
be hard and cynical. Happiness
sparkles in the eyes of sad and lonely
folk. A sort of introduction is need
ed to oneself. For the dawn of the
new year makes possible a fresh at
tack on the age-weary problems,
another attempt to produce the best
instead of the good, and a new walk
down by-ways Of human experience
where one may be a good Samaritan
with no eye but his to see and
understand. The world is all new on
New Years morning my world,
your world, our world-to make over
for the Kingdom. = Ralph Welles

Once upon a time a little girl lived
with wicked old uncle. Her father
and mother were dead. She was a
very good little girl and did not com.
plain, but one day when she did not
have any breakfast or dinner she went
into grove not far from the house
and cried.
Presently she saw an iron kettle
walking toward her. and it's short legs
Rocked SO queer moving along the
ground she laughed.
There was a spoon in the kettle, and
ft made clatter as the kettle walked
along. 1t stopped in front of her.
Don't cry, little GIRL" 1t said. "Dry
your eyes and do as tell you" Then
the kettle jumped up and hung by
its handle on a bush. Nov get some
water from the WE'LL" it said, 'and
pour 1t into me. Then go to the end OF
the path and take three steps forward
and four to the right. There you will
find some potatoes under a bush.
