power become only a force through

power become only force through
love.
The principles Of Elkdom should dc.
velop character in every Elk. No man
is born noble. Nobility ia not birth
day gift Character is developed.
The word reads our own verdict Of
ourselves In our actions. A man once
said Of contractor who had been ac-
cused Of graft: HE Is honest. know
It for tested the percentage Of tar he
put In the asphalt"
The call to you Is q call to purity.
No man can rise above his ideals. Man
could behold the INFINITE II he did not
stand In his shadow. You can do much
for the world II you follow the ideals
set before you. Promotehus stole flre
from the gods, but, you can bring God
closer to men when your actions have
the God spirit.
You are positive people and do
things. The spirit Of your benevo-
lences Is power and contrasts beau
tifully with the spirit of the church
sometimes. You give the best when
you give. You do not seek the cheap
est to MI the bill. There are many
lessons that you might learn from us,
there are many that we could learn
from you.
Gives Basic Principles.
The basic principles of your order
are:
A faith in Divine Being.
Your God Is God Of love. Serve
him so as to be worthy Of that love.
Patriotism. love OF country. No man
can be an Elk who Is not citizen of
this country. His allegiance must be
sworn. Love and protection Of home,
of which the Elk and the antlers are
so symbolic. In every condition af-
fecting these basic principles be true.
Let your garments be always white
and let your head lack no ointment
Your hearty giving to the poor and
your colossal benevolences justify
your place In the world. May you be-
come strong under the influence Of
that work. Yours Is work of human.
ity for humanity. You may not con-
form to the creed of churches but the
call Of humanity is the creed of God
and in the summing up Of LIES totals
your work will not be cipher. The
Master will say, "Inasmuch as ye did
1t, ETC." Do your work as you see 1t;
live your life as best you can and with
the lines of Sam Foss:
LET me live In my house by the side
Of the road,
Where the hosts Of mon 90 by;
The men who are good, the men who
are bad,
AS good and as bad as 1.
Then why should sit in a scorner's
seat
Or hurl the cynic's ban.
Let me live In my house by the side
of the road,
And be a friend to man."
That is your mission and you may
not have the plaudits of the narrow.
the weak, the selfish, but the hand OF
tho widow will be lifted in benediction
and the orphan will bear you up to
God with thankful heart. The cup OF
cold water will not be forgotten.
Among your number is the mayor
Of this city. AS an Elk VIC expect
great thing, good things Of you in the
city administration. Do not disap-
point us. and Christian help will be
given you Again the admonition OF
the text: Let your garments be al
ways white and let your head lack no
ointment"

RevOlvers.

A revolver is nickle-plated
substitute for bravery, which has
practically driven the original arti-
Gle out of the market,
The revolver gives puny man
with 5.8 inch brain and the pluck
of grasshopper a 100-yard reach
and makes him more deadly than a
Sioux Indian. There was a time
when this country had no danger
Gus animals, except bears and
wolves, and life was safe, except on
the frontiers, but now vast hordes
of 16-year-old boys who use their
skulls for a dime novel bookcase,
roam the streets with cigarettes in
their face and a portable cannon in
their hip pockets, producing obitu-
aries with the skill and enthusiasm
of a cholera microbe; while it is at
all times possible to meet per-
sonal enemy who has been chasing
you for a week. and who is re-
luctantly compelled to defend him
self when he catches you by filling
you so full of lead that your remains
will require eight pall-bearers Re-
volvers are now so generally used
in debate, in domestic quarrels and
repartee of all sorts that 5000
Americans die of them each year

Comfort For the Schoolmam.


Alabama and Washington are
following the Texas idea and erect
ing cottages for the teachers of the
rural schools. The idea is to do
away with the old and never salts
factory plan of boarding round" a
relic of pioneer days. In Texas the
school directors erect these cot
tages near the school house and one
county has six of them. In one
town the citizens bought the land
and erected the house by public
subscription. This place has six
acres of land around it. In other
places the teachers have five and
six room cottages. live together on
the cooperative plan and hire a
woman to do the Homework Texas
has over 100 teachers cottages. The
plan gives the teachers a chance
for privacy and a touch of home
life that is lacking under the sys-
tenn in vogue in other places. II is
likely that the plan will continue to
extend until there is a teachers
cottage in every school district.

Once On a Time.

Once on a time, once on a time,
Before the Dawn began,
There was a nymph of dams train
Who was beloved of Pan;
Once on a time a peasant lad
Who loved lass at home;
Once on a time Saxon king
Who loved queen at Rome.
The world has but one song to sing
And it is ever new,
The first and last of the songs
For it is ever true
A little song, tender song,
The only song it hath;
There was a youth of Ascalon
Who loved a girl of Gath"
A thousand thousand years have
gone,
And cons still shall pass,
Yet shall the world forever sing
Of him who loved a lass
An olden song, golden song.
And sing it unafraid;
There was a youth, once on a
time,
Who dearly loved a maid"

Already"

A Few Suggestions For Boosting
Monroe City.


city.
Building good houses builds a
good town.
Save a little money and save
lot of worry.
Good roads lead not only to town
but to money
Be live one and the town will
never be a dead one
A nice front porch has prevented
many an old maid
Why should the town muzzle
dogs and no knockers?
When someone plans to help the
town, plan to help the plan.
The best plans a man can have
to the future are house plans.
A good way to make the world
better is to begin with the home
town
A town is like a perambulator; it
isn't much good unless it is pushed.
Don't spend all your time telling
what you could do if you had
some time.
Be like a ball player. The thing
he is always working for is home.
If you think a DOW can't laugh
for joy. let somebody sell you
good silo.
Let's not be trying to stop some
thing all of the time. Let's start
something.
A good town will do more to keep
the boys at home than good advice.
A town is like girl. It's won
derful what a little fixing up will
do for her.
Opportunity knocks once at every
mans door; better be at home when
the lady calls.
The world owes every man a liv-
ing, but the street corner is poor
collection agency.
Don't look for soft snaps; the hard
snaps are the ones that have the
ginger in them.
Don't spend so much time talking
war that you haven't time left to
talk business.
If you would like to have some
body working for you, put a little
money in the bank.
1t improves the soup to throw a
little pepper into it. Same way
with town.
If you spend all that you earn.
some other fellow is banking your
money.
Many young man goes away to
seek his fortune when fortune is
seeking for him at home.
Plaster your honse and everybody
will follow your example. Lath and
the world laths with you.
You've got to be a citizen in Or
der to vote; but you've got to do a
good deal more than vote to be a
citizen.
If you will consider the men in
town who are well off you will find
that most of them made their
money here.
The big things we're not all done
in the big towns. The greatest
poem in the English language was
written in a country churchyard.
There is only one better man than
the man who gets behind and
pushes. in an effort to improve the
town. and that's the man who goes
ahead and pulls.
