all of one age. Just what the age is I have not yet made out. it lies somewhere between Q and 50. No Elk is more than 50, no matter how long he has lived, and none weighs more than 200 pounds. They all and no whiskers. Lilacs out of their and no whskers. Lilacs out of their lives and are always tabooed. I
 never saw an Elk who was very rich
 excepting in kindness and good cheer, nor did l ever see one circumnavigat- ing on his uppers. I have been oc- cassionally pained by hearing Elks
 relate stories that are slightly gam boge, tainted on the edges but al
 though these tales or persifage had Neufachtel flavor, yet there were always antiseptic supplies to redeem
 the mass from mortifying microbes. The Elk is not troubled about saving his soul. In fact, he is not troubled about anything. Perhaps this one distinguishing feature; he does not worry nor shake the red rag of wordy theological warfare. He believes that everything is all right, or nearly so, and that his task is to do his work

 The faults of our brothers we
 write upon the sand;
 Their virtues on the tables of love
 and memory.
 l am not jiner, but if I jine the timers, I will begin with the Elks, and probably end there.
 Without any special written code or creed, the Elks stand for cer- tain standard of intellect and eth ics.
 The man with an Elk's tooth on his watch chain or antlers in his button hole has no quarrel with God. He accepts life and finds it good. He may not be so very wise nor so very good, but since he knows that he is not wise and is ready to admit that he is not so very gsod, he is wiser than he knows and better than he will acknowledge.
 Real Elk Is Lenient
 The true Elk does not condemn, disparage, nor rip regulations np the back. Realizing his own .limi- tations he is lenient in his judgments towards those who have been tempted by fate beyond their power to resist. This quality of mercy, I have noticed IS strongly implanted in Elk nature. Your Elk does not weep over his own trouble, but for the stricken soul on earth his tears of pity are near the surface. The Elk loves children, re- spects old age, and so far as I have seen, doesn't incline especially toward Indifference to feminine charms. In many instances I have imagined the Elk revealed just appreciation of the elevated spheriod Yet in all your life you never saw one of these sons of Elkdom going off alone and cutting In the grapes; his irrigation is all the line of good fellowship. And his worst fault lies right here in this line of conviviality! he sometimes overdoes it. To be an Elk you must have faith in other men, faith in your- self and faith in the universe.
 The Elks all look alike and are

DELIGHT AUDIENCE
AT BAPTIST Church
MOUNTAIN ASH CHOIR GIVES
CONCERT HERE TWELVE
VOICES MAKE UP GROUP WHO
LEFT WALES FOR CONCERT
TOUR OF U. S.

The Mountain Ash Welch choir liv.
ed up to their press notices last night,
and were all that their advertisements
claimed they are when they appeared
in concert at the Baptist church. The
entertainment was given under the
auspices of the First Baptist church
and was one of the most delightful
musicals presented in Ottawa in many
day. The church was filed by the
music lovers of the city who gath
ton.
The choir was in charge of the d-
rector Glyndur Richards, and was
composed of twelve singers and an
accompanist They sang in Il clear
fresh manner, with no nasal tWang or
other evidences of diScOrd. They pos
sesscd the three assets which makes
unison singing perfect, a purity OF
tone, a perfection of pitch and won
deful blending of voices. The work
of the basScs was especially pleasing.
Although the printed program was
to a certain degree disregarded. ey-
cry number on it was rendered be
fore the closing song. The singers,
however sang with spontaneity, Civ
ing the audience whatever selection
they felt would appeal to them, The
numbers comprised classical humor.
Gus and popular selections.
The singers sang with a pep and
volume that made even those who do
not care especially for choral music
sit up and take notice. They were
exceedingly gracious and very oblig-
ing all the way through the program
and responded to a great many en-
corea,
The reader complimented the audi
ence on one occasion, declaring that
the choir had sang to many larger
audiences. but never TO Il more re-
sponsive or appreCiutivc than the OF
tawans.
The choir has made three concert
trips TO the United States from their
homes in Wales. and have scored
decided hits on each OF these tours,
