The shadow of deaths sable wing hus
again fallen upon the brotherhood ot
our beloved order. From our ranks of
" honor" has been stricken another
friend and brother Knight. 1t is with
profound sorrow that We learn Of the
death of Brother Joe I.cnehan.
Though there ARE emotions which lie
beyond the domain of human language ;
though there is n voiccless anguish
which swclls the aching heart when Il
conrade fails, and we discover in the
form we have learned to love that the
melody Of life is forever hushcd, vet
there is with us all II restless impulse
which longs to testify its devotion TO
the memory Of the departed.
We are again impressed with the sol.
emn lcssLn that neither aye nor coudi-
ton can delay the dread summons of
tire " dark,wingcd messenger" We
shall tenderly remember the many vir.
tues Of our deceased brother. In his
personal intercourse he was always

dulgcnt father, and his home bore the
impress of these virtues. Generous and
genial, he was the enemy Of no one.
llIs hand was open 10 sOothe distress. to
aid the feeble and answer every call Of
friendship.
When the clouds Of war shut out the
azure Of peace and Tho storm of battle
was upon us, With courageous zeal he
left the frcsidc of home and with brave
heart rallied to the defense Of his coun-

fury OF the onset he displayed all those
qualities Of heart and mind hat belong
To the faithful, gallant soldier.
