HONORED WHILE UVIN'G.
How a Tribute Was Paid to the Late
George Lindgreen.
"Post-mortem kindness cheers no
burdened spirit, and roses on the cof
fin cast no fragrance on the lonely
way."
The .above quotation expresses one
of the fundamental teachings of the
Knights of Pythias order try and
cheer and honor, your brothers while
they lire and not wait until they are
dead. One of the most pleasant mem
ories of Orion Lodge K. of P. is one
small act of honor and cheer they
were able to do last spring. The fol
lowing news item from the Elgin Re
corder of last April tells the story:
Old Member Is Honored.

ket conditions was the main feature at

i or the obligations under the Ban

Policeman Stops at 85.'.
Massillon, O., Dec. 10. Ohio's old
est policeman, Michael Elsass, 85,
quit his job today and thus endsd
twenty-one years' active service. He
quit because he wants to spend the
remaining years of his life w"m his
wife, who is not so well as she once
was. Walking .ten miles a day on his
beat kept the veteran preserver of
law and order in good physical con
dition. Elsass" claims he has walked
66,150 miles since his 64th birthday.
He thinks that is a pretty good rec
ord for a man who started at not far
short of the three score . mark.
Mentally, Elsass is alert as a man of
40. He is a veteran and draws a pen
sion. He says he would like to keep
on working, but that he hasn't a lifo
time before him any more and want3
to be with his wife as much as pos
sible. His son, H. W. Elsass, is di
rector of public service.
Test Right to Set Aside Franchise
Woodburn, Or., Dec. 9. The citv
council has instructed Citv Attornnv
Blaine McCord to bring action to re
strain the Western Telephone com
pany from raising telephone rates
over those specified in the franchise
granted the company by the city on
October 4, 1910. The monthly max
imum rates in the franchise agree-!
rapher and la member of the local K.
of P. lodge, was ordered by a vote of
the members present to take a picture
of Mr. Lindgreen and make an en
larged copy of the same and have it
fnanied and hung upon the walls cf
the Orion Lodge rooms.
Mr. Lindgreen is always K. of P.
first of all, hence this order was final
with him and this week the enlarged
picture was finished and is now being
framed.
This enlarged picture is most cer
tainly a work of art and reflects great
credit upon the artist, Mr. Hart. It
is as true to life as any picture could
be, and looks almost as if about to
say: "Why, hello, how are you?" ;
Mr. Lindgreen is extremely grat
ified at what he calls "a great honor"
and does not seem to fully under
stand that it is the local lodge which
is honored most by the privilege of
having the likeness of such a tried
and true Knight upon its walls.
While it is la sad thought, yet it is ,
true that Father Time will not ner-
mit Brother Lind.rreen to meet with
us many years more, and this Dicture
win, as long as it can fre preserved,
ne numDereu among the most nrized
possessions of Orion Lodge No. 73."
