Relatives of John De Saulles
Give Child Into Keeping
of Her Attorney

Roslyn. N. Y. Dec. 8. - A door
opened early yesterday afternoon and
little Jack de Saulles rushed into the
room and into his mothers arms. To
her it was even a greater joy than her
acquittal Saturday night on the
charge of having murdered her di-
yorced husband, John Longer de
Saulles. I'm so glad to see you" said
the boy, who will be years old
Christmas morning. Nothing can
KEEP us apart again."
Blanca de Saulles smiled beautiful
ly. She was n mother again. After
she regained some of the composure
that the joy of meeting had robbed
her of, she said:
Jack will never go out of my GUS
tody again. The law is on my side,
and no court of justice in the world
would deprive me of my child"

ELK MEMORIAL
IS IMPRESSIVE
Brotherhood Attends in Body
Wonderful Service at the
Majestic Theater

Charity, justice, brotherly love and
fidelity, the watchwords of the
brotherhood of Elks were exempli-
fled yesterday in a most impressive
memorial service for the dead which
took place in the Majestic thea
ater before an audience of two
thousand. The program was so at
tractive to the public in general that
the place was crowded to the doors
and it was impossible for late corners
to get seats. Many turned away
without attempting to be accom-
modated, seeing the doorways and
lobby overflowing.
Possibly the most touching con-
tribution to the musical part of the
service was the singing by the Men
delssohn quartet of the beautiful
song Absent"
Sometimes, between long shadows
on the grass,
The little truant waves of sunlight
pass,
My eyes grow dim with tenderness
the while
Thinking l see thee smile.
And sometimes in the twilight gloom
apart,
The tall trees whisper heart to
From my fond lips the eager answers
fall
Thinking 1 hear thee call.
Just previous to this the Munich
pal Orchestra had opened the serv-
ices, and following it Rabbi Louis
j. Haas delivered the invocation. In
this he prayed for the safety Of the
enlisted members of the order and
for early and honorable end of the
war.
The opening of the lodge fol-
lowed, conducted by James l.. Car
roll, exalted ruler. Mrs. Emma
Mausert Reeves sang Judge Me
Not Q God" and the lodge con-
tinued the opening service, Chaplain
d. d. Hammelbaugh reading the
prayer. Following the singing of
These Are They by Mrs. Lee S.
lzer the memorial exercises were
held. Secretary Charles r. Weber
called the roll of the sixty deceased
members and the various officials
recited the purposes of the lodge
as given in their ritual.
After John D. Whitman had
played as a violin solo That's" the
oration of the day was delivered by
the Hon. James ] Fitzgerald, of
New York, who eXtolled the virtues
of departed members and described
the characteristics which mark the
Elk who follows closely the laws of
his order. "Only the forgotten are
really dead" he said. "The others
live again as we remember them.
The poorest man in all the world
is he who practices not the simple
humanity which should rule us ALL"
continued the speaker There is
no wealth of purse; no wealth of
intellect; no wealth of Drawn. There
is only the wealth that comes from
character-the true evidence of a
mans soul"
Preceding the closing ceremony
of the lodge the quartet sang Gross
ing the Bar" and the audience
joined in singing Aud Lang Syne"
at the conclusion of the service. The
Rev. Harry B. King offered the clos
ing prayer and benediction.

Idaho county's one great need
is more good roads. Every
pound of produce grown on the
farm has to be hauled over the
wagon roads before it can be
shipped out over the railroads
and 1t is highly essential that the
highways be improved as rapidly
as possible. Every poor piece of
road costs the people who have
to travel it hundreds of dollars
each year in excessive hauling
costs, wear and tear to rigs,
harness and horsef1esh, and in
money spent to repair and keep
the road in passable condition.
A half million dollar bond issue
may look pretty large but it is a
safe bet that if our roads could
all be placed in first class shape
over night we would never go
back again to the old state of
affairs, no matter what the
change cost. 1t would be easier
to go back to the time before
railroads, steamships, the tele-
phone and telegraph were in ex-
istence than to get along without
good roads. Why not then, if
good roads are so important to
the success of a country and it's
people, go after and get them.
