the uames of our brothers who have
paimed the gate that swings but oue
way.
”\Vhat lies upon the other side of
that gate it is not glvento mortals to
know. That life ia Immortal, we
may read In the stars and in the
promptings of our heart, in the di
vine aspirations of the soul, but not
in the hooks of men. In the life of
the soul death la hut an incident.
Id ft* does not end. the soul passes
through the ahadow of the tomb and
into the glory of a Paradise that la
eternal.
’* ’Dual thou art to dual returneth
Was not spoksn of the soul.’
’’The living mourn, their tears fall
when our loved ones pass Into si
lence—yet in the arithmetic of eter
nity the separation is temporary, it
will he but a brief time when we will
Join them In the radiant fields and
by the still waters of a life immortal.
’’Birth aud death are equul myster
ies. all the ages have not solved
them. Before these twin problems
all science and philosophy are mute.
From Eden to 1912. ail the wisdom
of man haa not written the answer.
The Egyptians guessed, the Babylon
ia na guessed. The patriarchs and
prophets with whom God spoke had
visions, hut they did not know. All
the ages have guessed. Savage and
civilized have held a conception of
God and soul destiny, but not one
lias mapped the georgraphv or pslntod
the glories of the celestial kingdom.
Faith tells us that we have a man
rion there. It waits our coining,
those who go last will fare as well as
those who went first. How —When
and Where? are sect eta locked and
impenetrable to mortals. Why
bruise our hands upon walls we can
not penetrate. Why seek to aolve eni
gmas to which no key is given? To
worry over the future la to be a child
crying for the stars. ‘Let not your
heart he troubled. In my Father’s
House are many mansions. If It were
not so, I would have told you.’ Have
faith, the future la God's Kingdom.
Today la man’s —In this man’s em
pire let raau work and live.
"It is not knowledge of the future
that we need, but confidence —self
control and power to solve the prob
lems of this world. Many a soul lias
been lost by too much seal In trying
to save It. We have aeen man who
kept their eyea so fixed on things
eternal that they never tnw their du
ties and responsibilities upon earth.
In trying to win the nest world, they
neglect this world nnd toee both.
Trust In God for the future nnd Im
plore his aid In the present. Let our
prayer he. give us thy hand. Oh God.
lead ua In merry, gently Judge us.
mindful of human weakness. We
ask not Justice hut tolerence and
kindness. Before our work Is done
we will have battles to fight, give
ua courage, we will have crosses to
hear, give us strength. In all our
life vicissitudes give us the wisdom
to know the right and the nerve to
do it. Give us work by day and sleep
by night. Give ua the fortitude to
stand by the Good Samaritan and not
with the comfort and luxury of the
Pharisee. Give us the fortitude to
stand with the truth. Give ua the for
titude to be a true soldier In the
army of manhood —the fortitude to
assail wrong—lnjustice—and hypo
crlcy. In our militant crusades, give
us the fortitude to forgive, let us
realise that there la more virtue in
lifting the fallen Into repentanco
than In drlvfng the sinner into earth.
Over all our earthly career of weak
ness and strength, of virtue and sin.
Oh God. throw the rainbow arch that
typifies a hope that never dies. To
that prayer the aspiration of the true
Elk responds.—he la human—he la
not perfect, he will often fall—
sometimes fall, but always around
him he has a band of brothera to
help him rise again. The ordinary
man la rich, whe requires the fin
gers of both hands to count hia true
rrienda. Friendship Is a. word often
written and spoken, yet to be a true
friend in all kinds of weather, is as
noble as It is rare. Tn Elkjtom a
man's friends are only limited by the
membership of his lodge. Among
the brothers there ia an unusual
bond of fealty and loyalty. In the
mart or happiness this friendship is
of more worth than the glint of gold
or the smile of fame.
"The Elk order la democratic—all
are equal, there is but one degree.
There are no honorary degrees' or
titles, no generals, no captains, no
bishops, those who alt above and be
low the salt are of like distinction
and favor. In obligation and duty
the Elk table is round, each mem
ber is McGregor and site at the head.
The democracy of the order ia its
charm. It Is not exclusive, it has no
favorites, yet It Is particular. Some
times the black ball ia as active aa|
a candidate before election. jOften
this sable marble of protection has
shocked the seif Important into self
retrospection and humility. The
worthy are welcome, those who do
not recognize the equality of man
are not wanted.
"It is the club, the home, the man
hood college of tha great average
American. It needs no large income
to be a good citlzcu. or a good Elk,
but it does need an honest vocation
and a willingness to work to support
in comfort and plenty those we love.
"Our nation is great ouly as the

citlaen la upright, intelligent, and
patriotic. Our order can only carry
out Its mission as the member* are
manly and clean ami observant of
their obligation. Tin* community
judges the Elk order by the conduct
of individual members nnd not by
our professions. Nature may care
nothing for the individual and every
thing for the species. Man Is usually
more .Interested In tbo individual
than In institutions. We judge more
by appearances than by htntutcs. We
waut men to live up to their preach
ing. A man may believe In all the
commandments and then keep none
of them. Moat men like to preach,
but they prefer that others do the
practicing. The temperance advo*
cate who wears a 19-inch collar, and
a 15 iuch belt is under suspicion.
Brotherhood la the text of a thou
sand oratlona, but we exact bankable
security when we respond to the
material request of our brother.
Charity is a beautiful semimeut. as
it flows from pulpits and from lodge
floors, but Lnxarua still haunts our
doorwajs.
"A liberal tongue and a atingy
hand are not Infrequent partners.
The glfta of the Up are not expensive.
It la the aelflshnssH the Injustice,
the Inequalities unoni: nm that
makes the world rock with the sobs
of the unhappy and unfortunate. It
is better now thau ever before, but
the goal la still fat distant when
each la to do hi* pa: t and all are to
have their due.
"Whether Inspired by hope or dla
pair, some Colorado preachers have
recently boeu predicting the second
coming of the Savior. Not till the
stars grow dim and the sun goes out
will that day of Judgment come. The
destiny of man la not to be cut while
there Is such a mix of good and evil.
Man’s redemption Is In his own hands
he Is working out his salvation and
hia aspirations are not to cease while
traveling toward the light. No uni
verse wide Bodom and Gomorrah
judgment ia to fall, there is no city
of today that haa not its ten. its
fifty, its thousands of righteous peo
ple. Every school, church, every
home, every Klks lodge are uplift
stations on the road that lends to the
golden age when light and Justice
and brotherhood shall reign In a
timeless dynasty.
"Mankind drives toward broader
klndnczs. humanity and justice. Wur
is not ended, but its explosions will
be less frequent and less prolonged.
The ideals of the Hague Peace Con
gress will soon guide the warfare of
nations. Turk and Bulgarian broke
the pact of peace. Bloody haa been
the sacrifice. It cannot laat. Every
outburst drives out some wrong,
every evil that la eliminated will ap
pear no more. Liberty la never a gift,
always a conquest. The paths of
progress are never rose strewn, nor
is the march rapid. It took Rome 700
years to become civilized. Moral
crusades also take time, moral wars
arc not won in single battles. Even
tbc Elks cannot reach their ideals in
a season. The order Is on higher
ground today than It was a year ago.
It will still be advancing when the
record of 1912 is written next De
cember. Not all of our brothera are
free from disappointment, sorrow
and tragedy come to some of their
Uvea, but they are men and meet dis
aster like men—they ask no popy
draught to forget their troubles. We
will meet them, conquer them and
be the stronger for the victory. Thorn*
only who suffer can truly sympa
thise. Those who know not labor or
tears and disappointment know not
life."

direction of Gus Wilson, which was

MISS MYRTLE'S STORY
By FLORA DELL.
"Tea, I have ted on* strong* «tp*>
*teooa,'* Mlm Myrtle smiled ramlala
:soUy, as tbs stria plaadad for a atory.
'Myra, a achool chum of mins, wrote
for me to visit her at her hotel home
a the west, aod tired with my aoelal
lutlea, 1 aocepted. On tfaa Journey I
pictured her In the ordinary country
town hotel; antique aoeommodatlona.
Bat. bald-headed proprietor, cold hatha
from a water pitcher, and sundry oth

"Imagtas my amassment on my ar

at being received In an exchange a!-
moot la various la appointment, sup
plemented by the most up4o4ate
sleeping apartments, private hatha,
push buttons and all modern conveni
ences. I retired early the first night
In order to secure a long rest, and bo
prepared for the pleasure of the next
day. I drew a long atgh of comfort
as I nestled down between the cool,
dean sheets and prepared for a night
of sound sleep. I think I had Just lout
ooaedousnsss when I awoke with the
sensation that some one was la tho
room. I was not naturally nervous,
but the feeling that now ted mo In
Its grip was one of distinct fser. When
fairly awake I bounded out of bed.
snapped on the electric light and made
a hurried survey of tho room. With
the full return to consciousness I be
came aware of a soft Bound, like deep,
regular breathing, u strange, elusive
sound, seeming at ons minute behind
me snd the next to come from the
center of the room. Completely baf
fled In my efforts to locate It, I began
to think 1 was the victim of some prac
tical Joke, or else suffering from
sn unusual attack of indigestion. De
ciding that the latter was not prob
able. 1 went beck to bed. determined
to finish my rest; but avan with an
effort to drown the sound by burying
my bead In the abeeta. I could atlll
bear tbs regular movements, some
times low and soft, and again seeming
ly labored and dght over the bed. as
my fsvered imagination clothed It in
various Impossible shapes.
"I cannot tell how long I lay nerv
ously wakeful, when 1 suddenly saw
a soft ray of light on the window
frame, and the sweet twitter of a bird
on a tree outside my window ap
praised me of the approach of dawn,
and with other welcome Indications of
approaching morning I lost the aound
and my fear of It and drifted Into a
heavy sleep. *
"The nest day I decided to aay
nothing about my experience, as ft
might bring ridicule upon me. and 1
passed a pleasant day with the deci
sion firmly rooted of banishing the
whole affair from my mind. I retired
after a Jolly evening, ready to laugh'
at my experience of the previous
night.
“Whether tho subject refssed to be
dismissed snd my mind dwelt un
consciously upon It in my slumbers.
I do not know, but sbout midnight
f found myself onco more sitting up
right In the bed. clutching the bed
slothing tightly and listening to the
same deep, regular breathing of the
night before.
‘ Once more I brought the electric
light into play; once more made a
determined detour of the room, when
suddenly—was It my Imagination, or
had the breathing really assumed a
different tone? It seemed to be com
ing In gasps—like the last labored
breath of life—lt seemed close at my
back. I made one leap toward the
door—tbo gasping sounded In my ears.
With a spasmodic grip I turned tbs
handle and slipped Into tho wide hall.
Myra's room was down the corridor,
snd I flew toward It, but had gone but
a short distance when a hand gripped
my shoulder, and I fell In an un
conscious heap—at Myra's feet
"When I came to I was on her bed
snd ahe waa bathing my face with a
refreshing lotion. 1 remember mur
muring, 'What was It?* and then 1
sank, partly from exhaustion, partly
from a sweat sense of security, into
a sound sleep, from which I did noi
awaken until morning.**
Mtsu Myrtle oeesed speaking, and
for a few moments there was an in
tense sllenoe. At last tbs girls asksd
la chorus; "Aren't you going to tel)
as what It was?**
"Oh," said Mlaa Myrtle, and n little
•mUe crinkled the corners of hei
month, and an amnaed twinkle shone
(n her brown eyes. There was another
■hort silence, and then she said:
"Have you ever heard of a water
motor?" She laughed softly. "I never
had then, but I decided that evan 11
I had been brought up In a city,
there were a few things yet to b«
learned.’*
Death of Youthful Jspsnsss ffmpsror
According to a Spanish writer on
Japan, the most pathetic suicide re
corded In the history of that country
took place over eight centuries ago.
"In 1181," writes Senor domes Carll
lo, "the nine-year-old Emperor Ko
tuku saw his troops defeated. The
child disheveled his hair, wept copi
ously, and Invoked the holy name ol
Buddha. When he had finished hie
nurse Nildono took him In her arme
to the seashore. ‘There Is a lovely
city beneath the bay.’ she said, and
then the waves covered the emperor
and his nurse."

"How often Is your motor over
hauled, Blnks?" asked Dusenberry.
"Pour times last month,” said Blnks.
"Pour times In one month? Qeeru
salem! what for?” demanded Dusen
berry.
"Speeding," said Blnks. "Twice by
the bicycle oops, once by a deputy
sheriff, and once by a plain, common
garden, village ooastable."—Judge.
