Eleven o'clock is Elkdom’s “hour of recollection,” when a toast is drunk “tc our absent brothers.” The cus fom is said to have originated with Beorge McDonald, one of the original Elks. The mottoes of the order are “To do unto others as we would they ghouid do unto us,” and “The faults of | P hers we write upon the sand: their virtues upon tablets of love and memory.” The call of one Elk to another, by which he is recognized in any forest (of palws or otherwise) is “Hello, | William Goddard of Minneapo Jis lodge, No. 44, is the original “Hel [ Jo, Bill” of Elkdom, and this cheery salutation, which has found its way pround the world, originated in Minne apolis during the Elks’ national re union in that city in 1897. Goddard was chairman of the finance commit- ; tee and a member of practically every pther committee having in charge the prrangements for the reunion. Others might slight their work, but Billy Goddard was always to be found at committee headquarters. ‘When any visiting Elk sought infor- mation it was a constant repetition of | ¥Go over and ask Billy Goddard,” “Billy, can tell you,” “See Billy; he knows.” And the visiting Elk fell pnaturally into the formula, “Hello, Blil.

Elks who never before had seen each other’s faces greeted each other on the streets and in the hotel corridors with a cheery “Hello, Bill,” and now when one Elk meets another, from the bright lights of Broadway to far away Juneau or Skagway, Alaska, the most distant of EIk towns, it's “Hello,| Bill.”—Hampton’s Magazine. i Ultra Violet Rays Purify Air.

WILD MEN AND GAME THERE How the Gallant Major, After Escap- ing One Plot, Was Led Into a Murderous Ambush by His Treacherous Guide. By GEORGE CLINTON. Washfngton—The matter of the i reclamation of the Florida Everglades; recently has been the subject of dis- cussion in congress. Moreover, there has been sometéing savoring of sharp trouble for the agricultural depart- ment in the affair. Not long ago in these despatches something was said about a.bill of | Representative Sparkman’s of Florida for the appropriation of $5,000 to erect a monument to Maj. Francis L. Dade, who was killed in the KEverglades when he was the leader of an expedi- tion against Osceola and his Sem- inoles. Something of the Everglades, past and present, and the story of the killing of Major Dade and his com- mand seems to be timely now that the subject of the reclamation of this Flor- ida land has been pointed up so sharp. 1y in congress. Not all the darkness and the ro- | mance of the Everglades passed with the ending of the long wars with the Seminoles, who made that region their stronghold. Semi-wild men live in the recesses of the glades today, and tragedies still frequently mark the land. Game in abundance still finds a place from the hunter in the jungles, and at least two species of birds, the Carolina paroquet and the great ivory-billed woodpecker, ex- tinct in all other parts of the United States, have managed there to keep their race from extermination. Defiance of Osceola. The older tragedies of the Ever- glades, dark as they were, hold the most interest. It was on the edge of the jungle country that Oscevla, the Seminole, when asked to sign a treaty with the whites by which the land was to be given up, drew his knife, struck its blade through the document of transfer. and said: “There is my signature.” It has been sald that it takes omly one drop of red blood to make an American Indian. The Everglades once furnished proof of the saying. One of the witnesses of Osceola’s act was a soldier of the army in whose | veins there was a slight admixture of Indian blood. He was so- stirred :with, admiration for Osceola’s deed that he swore to himself that later he would aid the Seminole’s cause. Maj. Francis L. Dade led an expedi- tion into the Everglades against Os- | ceola and his band. The soldier with | the drop of Indian blood in his veins was chosen by Dade as a guide. The man leff the command straight to an ambush, which was discovered fortu- nately just in time to save Dade and his men from annihilation, There was a drumhead court-mar- tial, and the gulde was sentenced to est temperatures that we know. In fact, the temperature of the mereury | vapor lamp which produces them is| even higher than that of the sun.

This saves poor <hildren from the hardships of flan- Telette. “I heard of an East Side mother the | other day whe bought a shirt of flan nelette for her little boy. The shirt ‘was very cheap; but after the first washing she brought it back to the| dealer again. A “‘l think, sir,’ she said, ‘you ongh'1 to change this. When I washed it the flannel all came out and only left ti otte.” ” Progress a Matter of Ideals. I The progress of man has been! measured by the prograss of his | tdeals. Blindness 1s in Mankind.

He removed trom his person the uniform of the United States army and put on leggings and hunting shirt of deei skin.

Major Dade and his command es- caped death on the day of the gulde’s treachery only to meet it later in the fastness of the Everglades. light battertes of artillery, Dade marched into & part of the Everglades where the country was comparative- ly open, to give battle to a Seminole chief name Micanopy. The guide of this expedition was a negro named Lewis, and, like the %ormer guide, he was a traitor. Lewis had sent word to Micanopy, telling the Seminole the trail by which he was to lead the -whites. Major Dade and his command reached a glade skirted by palmettos. The troops were in open order, march- ing carelessly along. Behind every palmetto lay a Seminole. The Indians The firing distance was less than for- ty yards when Micanopy shouted a signal and every Imiian rifle spoke. One-half of the unsuspecting troopers fell'at the first discharge. Dade was killed. The soldiers had a light field piece with them, and by the use of can- nister they scattered the savages ana afterward they managed to build a barricade of logs. The Seminoles eir- cled to the rear and picked off the whites one by one. When the last man had fallen the Indians closed in and despolled the dead. One man, sorely wounded, awoke to conscious- ness after the Seminoles had left and found himself the sole survivor of three companies of regulars.

The discovery of a new species of earthworm may awake but a languid interest in the layman’s mind, yet those minute studies of the humble works of nature that result in bring- ing to light previously unrecognized inhabitants of the soil really possess a very high degree of interest, since, they often indicate unsuspected pro- cesses whereby the earth is kept in a condition to be the home and nourd isher of man. Darwin surprised the general read- ing public by his revelations of the Indispensable role played by the hum. ble earthworm in cultivating the soil. He showed how the strength of a pigmy was changed intg that of a giant by the virtue of numbers and of industry. so that the richest soil was turned over and over again by the las bors of earthworms and thus kept in a ' fertile condition. When, however, Darwin discovered the importance of the work done by worms, he was not aware of the ex istence of more than eight or ten species in Great Britain.
