TONIAIY's BIRTHDAY PARTY.

lonM1 . blhI1DAl IhNlA.
If you'd like to hear it / will explai
All about my birthday party;
The boys were invited to dress just
plain,
And then we could play real hearty.
For you can't have fun in your
sunday clo'es,
You're 'fraid to dig or to climb,
And what's the reason nobody
But you spoil en- every time.
We had a circus out in the she'd
My; Lut wasn't it funny?
With poppy tickets purple and red
And mar.golds for the money.
The music band wore paper caps,
Oh, they were ever so fine,
With ttnpan drum on 'spender
straps,
And tugles O. pumpkin-yine.
! we built cage for our yellow hen,
And that Was Cassawary;
We covered the saw-horse nice
and then
We called it a Dromedary;
Rover, he was the lion, you know;
We made his cage of chairs,
tAnd tbs p.g-pen's built of poles
The pigs were the Polar Bears.
We made a Zebra out of the calf
Most like the one in the picture
! And l really think youd have had
to laugh
To see our Boa Constructor.
And Cowboy Joe had a broad-brim-
med hat
! And rope and case-knife dag.
+, And l most forgot that the pussy-ca
Was royal Bengal Tiger.
| We everyone had part in the
show,
tAnd nobody whined or grumbled;
And we cheered whenever they
made it go,
And all the more when they tum-
| bled
F., We clapped our hands until they
We're red,
We laughed till the tears die
/ Twas the biggest show of the
season, we said;
My; but wasn't it fun?
And just as the tsa-bell rang at the
house
/ That comical, sly old Rover
Crept out of his cage as still as 6
And tipped our tent right over.
| Then all of us laughed and scram
bled and ran,
And played we were scared a
could be,
And shouted: THE lion; He'll cal
every man.
All the way in to tea.

Frosty-tipped and cool;

Want the blanket on my bed

The "Big Brother" Movement.

The Good Book says, che poor ye
have with you always" Poverty breeds
crime, and unconsciously boys that by
reason of poverty of their parents have
been denied a home training that of
itself insures good citizenship, are the
objects of pity and not of censure.
Those who have been placed in re-
fined homes, and have not been thrown
with those whose poverty is the next
door neighbor to crime, can hardly
appreciate the need of some man, who
has been endowed with such privileges
as those of education and refinement
Several years ago the courts of the
cities were filled with boys of tender
years, not criminals by instinct but
made so by their surroundings, who
were being graduated from the courts
to the penitentiary, and after term
had been graduated from the great
university of crime. Such boys touch
ed the hearts of men in New York City,
who saw a chance, not for immediate
redemption but a chance that by pa
tience and good advice as well as
brotherly regard for such unfortun-
ates, was able to assist such boys to
emerge from their surroundings and
lay the foundation for good citizen
ship. Instead of paroling the boy and
causing him to report to the probation
officer, these big hearted men stood
sponsor for their future acts, threw
a protecting arm about them, and said
to the court by their actions, 81 will
be responsible for this boys acts if
you turn him over to me-" Immediate
decrease in crime by boys in the cities
was noticed, an increase in the at
tendance on night school was the re-
suit, better hammered boys, cleaner
dressed and having ambition to sue
ceed, showed the world that this was
not an experiment, but that it was
reality, that it was making the cities
better, and consequently, the world
happier.
At the grand lodge of the b. p. o. E.
at Rochester, in 1913, the Elks as an
order adopted such movement, called
upon each and every lodge to appoint
a big brother" committee of work
ers, and do their part in helping aud
assisting the boys who were less for
tunate than the Big Brothers. In the
