Fergus Ferguson Illustrated by Herbert Pans 'V TODD wakened, that morning, to find that it was spring, that he \/l was forty, that forty springs had passed and left him nowher^ X TJL He sat up in bed most quietly so that he should not disturb Delia, his wife, sleeping in the other twin bed. He stared at the trees, unbelievably fresh, young and green outside his suburban window. And presently he found himself looking, not into tree-tops, but into the dark pit of livmg. Forty years, dull and hemmed in, that was what he saw, and the young leaves lifting and falling, turning in the sun, mocking Mr. Todd, pitying middle-age which once had believed in romance, in adventure, and which now spent its days—all the beautiful days ofthe world—puttering in anomce. Every spring Mr. Todd felt this, every spring. Once it was thirty springs. Now it was forty. He shivered a little, his hands around his knees, and crept from bed. Delia did not waken and he was glad. Delia had no idea that her comfortable smile, her cheery "Morning, George!" could be so fatiguing. After his coffee Mr. Todd let himself out, like a paroled prisoner, into the morning. He was free in his walk to the station, would be free until he arrived at the office. The 8:05 reached New York at 8:40 and then there would be Mr. Smith's orders. Mr. Smith's teeth flashing, the dimple in his left cheek punctually appearing. All winter, for months and months, Mr. Todd had worked under Mr. Smith in the insurance business, perfecting a dislike for the other which he had roughed out at first sight. He had been rebelling against Mr. Smith and, through Mr. Smith, against his whole way of life, against the monotony of marriage and of the office. Now rebellion smouldered, awaiting the faintest breath. In the hazy spring sunshine of the station platform young persons called out. clustered in groups, swept past Mr. Todd, wind of laughter in their eyes. One girl, pretty and slirn, brushed against him. "Oh—so sorry!" she laughed into his face. "I'm dizzy this morning. It—it's spring!" She passed on but the gay slanting look in her eyes stirred something in his frame as if a flowery spark had flown into him. A tiny spark but enough to set fire to the world within him, to that dry wood piled up in his heart. "Spring," said Mr. Todd. shouting it in his mind. "Spring!" In that second he realized that he was on the point of no longer existing for Delia, for Boyd & Smith Insurance, \\hat had been dead now lived. Mr. Todd knew that he had spent his last day as a .slave. HEN he reached his desk it was with the sensation that many years had fled with bright faces since he left Delia that morning. Delia no longer lived in this world of escape which he was already creating by his will. For Mr. Todd saw what he was about to do; not how he would live afterwards except that it would be beautiful and reckless; but that he was throwing over his job. He would flee to Europe, to tropic isles, perhaps around the world. Delia had the house and their savings. As soon as Mr. Smith arrived at work Mr. Todd's hegira would start. He knew this was the crisis. His escape must come now or never, this very morning while he was still possessed of this unreal, this .splendid if fortuitous strength. He would burn his bridges, would lei! Smith everything he had been thinking about him. He would keep ii on a plane of reticence and dignity but perhaps at the end he wouid say. just before he picked up his hat. "".And now, Smith, how would you like to go to hell?" Mr. Todd wailed without impatience, he who had waited so long. "Today," he said to himself, "a grub. Tomorrow a butter fly." N ovember, 1935 A secretary came in. "Mr. Smith," she said, "won't be in this morning. He wants to speak to you on the phone." "Smith? Ah, yes," said Mr. Todd, and she accepted his words humbly like gifts of fate. Or so he thought. Well, he would speak to Smith. He could say what he had to say over the telephone, just as well as any other way. "Hello, Todd," said Smith. "Listen, boy, I'm not coming in this morning. Having a round of golf. . . Mr. Todd listened. He smiled. He took his pipe from his lips and spoke in a low, clear voice. His eyes blinked a little for they were blinded by the great light of freedom full in his face. "So you want me to see Herzog about that endowment policy?" he said when Smith had finished. "Well, I'm not going to see him and how do you like that? I'm through with seeing about endowment policies. Smith, old boy, so what? Through forever. What's more, I'm sick of your rotten little dump here and of your dimples. I just came down to tell you so and to get my fountain pen. 1 think you're a stuffed shirt and something I wouldn't throw to the dog with a clear conscience. Been thinking that for some time now and it's a great pleasure to let you in on it. So now, Smith, old son, put your golf sticks back in your locker and come down and do your dirty work yourself. That will be all, Smith. Good morning." He could have had no effect more satisfying than this one of stunned silence. He sat back in a state of utter completion. He was glorified by thoughts of Smith unable to believe his own ears, so stupefied that he could not speak. That speech- lessness was what made up for all of Todd's lost years. His strength vanished but it was no longer needed. It had accom plished its purpose: Smith had been told. Triumph surged through Todd. As each wave rolled over his head he swam, light, breathless but coming always to the surface. Then, all at once he was drowning. In that flash he saw his whole life. He had lost everything—the wife whom he loved, his position, his security. He who had had so much, he the most blest of men, had tossed all away in a moment of madness. Everything for which he had slaved, gone. Gone and for what? This. This loneliness, this noth ing, this orphanage. IhE telephone rang again. How he hated that telephone. Busy as a sadistic little ant it had deprived him of all he wanted in life. He could not touch the thing. But it kept on ringing and bitterly he took off the receiver. It was Smith. "This damned operator!" said Smith, fuming, "she cut us off! What I was saying, Todd—did you get any of it—what I was saying—will you tackle Herzog? About that endowment policy. I'd do it myself, old boy, only I can't butter him up the way you can. Listen, Todd, we're relying on you. You're the only bird on the force that can pull it off. Will you get at it, old chap?" The walls receded, the room blurred like a radio picture, but Todd found himself saying, his eyes moist, his voice breaking with the bliss of resurrection: "Yes, Mr. Smith. I'll do my best. Yes, yes. I'll contact Herzog at once." I'm through with seeing about endowment policies," he said. **And what's more, I'm sick of your rotten little dump here" •% •r'' t) The Elks Magazine The Ballad o : Sill ®ozeman Bill BOZEMAN was built like an elephant, He weighed three hundred pound; He could do as much work as any six men Wilham Hazlett Upson In all the country round. But there wasn't any work to do, Illustrated by Mario Cooper For the times were very bad; He wandered all over the middle west. But jobs were not to be had. And at last he arrived, one afternoon, In the town of Hennepin Falls, And he didn't have a single cent To put in his overalls. He had lost his razor a month before, And his beard was heavy and long; He looked like a bum, and he felt like a bum And everything seemed to be wrong. And the worst of it was he was hungry, Which made it very tough; When a man Bill's size is hungry, He is hungry sure enough. And as he was wandering here and there, He unexpectedly found A cheap little carnival spreading its tents In a field at the edge of town. There were acrobats, and jugglers. And various freaks and fakes, And a merry-go-round, and peanut stands. I And hula girls, and snakes. And out in front of the largest tent. On a platform high and wide, Stood a handsome gentleman, tastefully garbed In a costly leopard hide. Bc.side him a beautiful lady stood. In a dress of flaming red. And she opened her mouth and started to yell. And this is what she said; f/sixuo "Step right up. ladies and gentlemen! I wish to introduce Ali Boubou, the Terrible Turk—heavyweight wrestling cham pion of Turkey. Bulgaria, Roumania, Bessarabia, and all of Asia Minor, including the Caucasus. Ali Boubou offers to defeat anyone who dares to challenge him. And he is backing this offer with real money—twenty-five dollars to anyone who can throw him within fifteen minutes. And fifteen dollars to anyone whom he fails to throw within this time limit. A princely offer, ladies and gentlemen! Who wants to make a try for this easy money?" At the edge of the crowd Bill Bozeman heard And let out a joyful yelp; Though he really wanted a steady job, This twenty-five dollars would help. He decided to try for it anyway. So he pushed to the front of the crowd. And mounted the platform—which sagged with his weight— And spoke up clear and loud; "ril wrestle this guy," he said. "And right now." The Elks Magazine "Well, you'll just have to take a chance, Clarence," said Bella. "But I can't wrestle a total stranger." "Why not?" "He might be a professional. There are plenty of them around this town." "How do you know?" "When we first arrived I noticed a billboard downtown that advertised wrestling every Thursday night at the Hennepin Falls Coliseum. Maybe this guy is one of the professionals trying to pick up twenty-five dollars on the side." "Don't be silly. Clarence," said Bella. "No real wrestler is going to monkey around a cheap carnival like this." "What if I get thrown?'' asked Clarence. "Then the boss pays this elephant his twenty-five. You don't lose anything. And the boss doesn't lose either—there Wait a minute," said the lady in red. "The bout will be must be at least fifty dollars in the house right now. If you held inside the tent. W'hat's your name^" back out, the boss will fire you. You know that." "Bill Bozeman." "Probably he would," Clarence admitted. "All right, Bill," said the lady. "My name is Bella Jones "All right, then," Bella said. "You've got to wrestle this And now I want you to shake hands with Ali Boubou the lad. And here he comes now. Let's go in." Terrible Turk." ' So Bill, the three-hundred-pounder, shook hands With the greatest friendliness With the Terrible Turk, who probably weighed Two hundred, more or less. And upon the face of that Terrible Turk Came a look of doubt and pain, While Bella, above the cheers of the crowd Began to beller again; ' "Step right up, ladies and gentlemen! Only twenty-five cents—a quarter of a dollar—to see Bill Bozeman—this fright ful bearded monster—attempt to assassinate the Terrible Turk Just pay your money to the gentleman in the checked suit Ok; at the entrance. Pass right in. Plenty of roum for all!" The crowd began to heave and shove And fight to get through that door; And_ five minutes later the place was jammed Around the corner of the tent With two hundred people or more. •Appeared an amazing sight— Bill Bozeman dressed in wTcstiing trunks, Then Bella took Bill to a dressing tent, And ready for the fight. And handed him out a pair Of over-sized wrestling trunks that she thousht When Clarence observed how tremendous and He could stretch enough to wear. hard Were the muscles beneath that hide— And, leaving Bill to pour himself in When he gazed on that beard and that hairy To these trunks as best he could. chest— She returned to the door of the larger tent Poor Clarence pretty near died.

The Elks Magazine EDITORIAL ARMISTICE DAY A PEACE CELEBRATION EVENTEEN years ago, on the eleventh of November, 1918, the whole world went mad with joy because an armistice had been signed which had hushed the cannons' roar of the World War. Peo ple everywhere were delirious with happiness in the relief which had come from the awful strain under which they had suffered so long. They fell upon their knees and thanked God that peace had come at last. Ever since that first Armistice Day, its anniversaries have been quite generally celebrated in America. And whatever patriotic fervor may have attended them and however much they have been made the occasions for prideful, even boastful, declarations, they have always been designed as peace celebrations; and have been marked by a spirit of devout thankfulness that the blessings of peace have continued to rest upon us as a nation. They have been intended to encourage the high purpose to retain those blessings as a continuing heritage to our people. This year there is more reason than usual for the anniversary to be observed in that spirit. As this is written, events are impending which may again draw a number of countries into a terrible conflict. When it comes to the hands of the readers, actual hostilities may have begun; although international agencies are yet striving to prevent such a catastrophe. The sentiment of the American people, definitely expressed by Congres sional action, is against permitting our country to be drawn into the threatened conflict. But there is always danger that the conflagration of war may spread beyond control and that incidents may inflame popular passion and lead to involvements not originally intended. The celebrations of .Armistice Day this year may well be planned with a view to strengthen the purpose of our people to remain at peace with all the world, and to encourage a spirit of patience and calmness that will tend to preserve America's neutrality whatever other nations may become embroiled in war. Elk Lodges throughout the country will perform a true patriotic service by promoting, and participating in, Armistice Day celebrations which shall be observed in that spirit and with that purpose. BRIDGE VS. POKER 7"m denied. The factbridgethat severalas a form periodicalsof social maintainentertainmentspecialcannotdepart-be ments devoted to the game and its problems is evidence of the wide interest among their readers in the subject. Indeed it is claimed by many that it has become the great .'\merican card game. Admittedly it is a fine game which calls for a high degree of intelligence and an adequate knowledge of the different systems prescribing rather rigid rules relating to bidding and leads. The successful exercise of these qualifi cations naturally brings a keen enjoyment. However, there are numerous card players, particularly among men of the older generations, who stoutly contend that poker is still not only the most popular American game but that it is the best card game, bar none, ever devised for man's entertainment. And in support of their contention they advance most appealing and convincing reasons. There are general rules governing certain of its features, of course; but it is essentially a game in which knowledge of human nature, the ability to read faces, and the capacity to mask one's own expression are of comparable value with that of the cards in hand. It is distinctly a sociable game. There are no rules as to silence or the range of comment. One may be as gabbv as he pleases, or as he may deem diplomatic and psychologically advisable. It is a supreme test of one's poise and good nature. And how one plays his hand is no body's allfired business but his own. There is no partner to quibble or criticise. Its numerous off-shoots of jackpots, deuces wfld, spit-in-the-ocean, stud, high low, and down the river add a spice of variety which appeal to many. No other game furnishes a basic plan which admits of such infinite variation. November, 1935 But all include the feature of the draw, which vastly increases its uncer tainties and surprises. Every game of poker is filled with incidents which furnish thrills such as no other game can furnish. The filling of an inside straight; putting over a bluff by standing pat on a busted flush; seeing the tip of the third ace appear as a one card draw to aces up is slowly squeezed into sight; the courageous call which discloses an opponent's effort to run a sandy; these and similar ex periences can only be enjoyed in poker. The opinion is confidently expressed that poker is still the most popular game among Elks and that it will so continue, for it is a he man's game. THE JOSEPH T. FANNING CLASS ^ HE question of special campaigns to secure new members in the sub- ordinate Lodges is a perennial subject of controversy. There are many who oppose them as having an asserted tendency to laxity in the invitations of applicants. But it is quite generally conceded that a concerted effort among the Lodges to secure large classes for some particular occasion is, when pursued with due care, a most effective method of securing additions to membership. Most persons prefer to be initiated in a large class rather than as the sols candidate. And there is a natural interest which attends a ceremony that is conducted as a special feature of an unusual occasion. It is for these reasons that Grand Exalted Ruler Hallinan has requested each of the Lodges to make special efforts to secure a large class to be initiated in November, to be called the "Joseph T. Fanning Class" in tribute to the Dean of our Past Grand Exalted Rulers. And he urges the Lodges to provide an attractive program which will make the occasion a real fraternal event. Nothing but good can come from such an activity properly conducted. It should result in substantial additions to the rolls as well as an aroused interest among the membership generally. It is hoped that reports of this event will give proof of the generous response to the appeal of the Grand Exalted Ruler which was pledged to him at Columbus. THE TRUE MAN ^^SHE mere biographical facts of his life and work do not give the true picture of any man. What others think of him and say of him is ((^ as much a true part of him as the shape of his head. Tradition is as valuable in evoking the real man as is history, for it is evidence of the influence he has exerted upon others; and that influence is as much a part of him as any physical characteristic or any proved fact of achievement. INIany biographies have been written in recent years in which the authors have attempted to strip from their subjects the glamour which history and tradition have thrown about them. They call it "debunking"; and claim to have written only the truth. But their efforts have been of questionable value. Certainly they have been unsuccessful in effacing the effects of tradi tion or in materially altering the mental concepts of their subjects which have been entertained by successive generations. It may smack of scholarly research to proclaim that Washington was once criticised for some speculative trading in public lands, and to quote the page of some record as a proof thereof. But Washington is still the ideal patriot in the hearts of all Americans. He is still the revered "Father of His Country." To detail the sordid facts of Alexander's death does not prevent him from being still called "The Great," nor from being in fact "The Great;" for that title and all it implies has become a part of the real world conqueror. And so of lesser men who yet live. The true man is not merely the physical and mental individual whom we see and hear and can touch, but he is as truly the man we have created in our estimates of him, for that is very accurately the measure of the influence he wields and which is an essen tial part of him. Those estimates are generally correct, for a man's associates and contem poraries have an uncanny capacity for gauging his real character and the place he should occupy in history. This fact adds to the value of tradition in creating and preserving for posterity the essentially true man. And no attempts to displace him from his traditional niche are likely to succeed.

But when I informed him I had brought a news photographer with mc in the hope that he would permit me to write a magazine story about his remarkable talent, he objected, for he detests publicity like the devil does the proverbial holy water. "Repeatedly," he said to me, "I have been asked to pose for pictures and to stand for feature stories about my polf and I have always refused. There is really nothing remarkable about it. What little game I have I owe to Sammy Belfore for his patient instructions and to Mrs. Russell for her encouragement and of course to long hours spent on the practice tee and greens, to say nothing of my loyal caddies upon whom I am naturally much dependent. Let's play the game and forget about the pictures and storv." We started off bundled up in heavy jackets, for a biting norther was howling across the fairways and Autumn had very much arrived. The first hole was a 255-yarder, marked by an ugly gully. Mr. Russell took the honors and' spanked a beautiful 200 yard drive straight down the middle. His second, a No. 7, was directly in the pin but was a trifle long and rolled over into the whiskers. He took two putts for a five, canning a nine-footer in the process. How did he accomplish it? His caddy, a new one, by the way, with whom he had had only a couple of weeks experience, placed the ball on the tee, soled the driver and stepped aside. Swinging with remarkable swiftness and lack of tension, Mr, Russell had sent the drive on its way so quicklv that although my eyes were as large as saucers, I hardly realized he had shot. For the No. 7 effort, the caddy again soled the club and said, "A good fifty yards." There was no teeing of the ball in the fair- wav, not the slightest attempt to give the pla'ver any the best of it, and I may say here and now I have never played with anyone who observed more meticulously the rules of the game than this very remarkable fol lower of the great Scotch pastime.
