IT.
Eiks' Benefit.
January twentieth. nineteen hun
dred and fifteen will be the one day
In the year that was left off the
Pessimists' Calendar 1t was no mis-
take, the Elks did task them
how they cancelled the day for the
pessimist Can you imagine anything
more charitable. anything more in
keeping with the spirit of beneyo-
lency?
Conditions have forced some of
our most cheerful minded into the
pessimists' ranks, and what is more
commendable or more to be appre-
ciated than the services of those who
can make the wooden pessimist
smile-smile until he completely for
gets himself and his hobby, and
Jan. 20 is indelibly stamped on his
memory as the biggest, brighte,ts
and best day of the year, when he
began at dawn to smile at the
thought of the parade and the smile
broadened as the day advanced until
nightfall came, then the questions o.
the Man in the Middle" "the Solo
list With the PerpleXing Voice" "The
Man With the Pull" and visions Of
the features planned for him by the
famous Prestidigitator," by "the
Extra Entertainer" and the soloists
all came before him in a merry
confusion, then he was off
They (every pessimist has an af-
tinlty) returned the morning after
converted optimists, never again
to crouch
Those who are by nature happy
could not be persuaded to miss
even one minor Elk attraction
