THE A. O. o. w. BANQUET.

Owing to the severe weather of last
Friday and to the fact that the Grand
Master Workman was unable to reach
town, the A. o. U. w. banquet was
postponed till Saturday evening.
When that time came. at least 200
guests were assembled at the Opera
House and pronounced the banquet a
most gratifying success. The hall was
filled at an early hour and a pleasant
social time enjoyed until supper was
announced about o'clock. For an
hour thereafter the three long tables
We're crowded but the supply of eata-
bles, in addition to being of the choicest
quality, was apparently inexhaustible
in quantity, and everyone who sat
down rose up satisfied. At a quarter
after nine, Mr.. J. f. Henderson intro
duced Mr.. G. w. Reed, of Topeka,
Grand Master Workman, who made q
speech of half an hour, devoted to q
eulogy of the order and setting forth
| the tbenencent work 1t sought TO ac-
complish. At the close of his speech,
the members of the order repaired to
the lodge room, where the Grand Mas
ter installed the new officers, and gave
an exemplification of the secret work
of the order. The invited guests re-
manned ut the Opera House for some
time enjoying themselves in a social
way. Taken as a whole it has been a
long time since the equal of this BAN
quet has been seen in lola. 1t is no
small matter to feed go or 300 people,
and do it well, and the A. o. L. WIS.
are certainly to be congratulated on
their success. As one of the guests,
speaking we doubt not for all of them,
the REGISTER returns thanks.

A FABLE.

Once there was Dog who made his
Bed in a manger. Bye and Bye an Ok
came to Eat the Hay. But the Dog
rose up Fiercely and Barked at the Ok.
He could not Eat the Hay himself, SO
he was Determined that the Ok should
have None of it. Seeing this the Ok
left the Manger and went out, not
knowing what to do. But after wan
dering around awhile he came upon
fine, Green Meadow. and as he hasten
ell to enjoy the rich Feast it offered
him, he said to Himself, 81 am very
glad the Dog was in the Manger, else
I should now be feeding on Old Dry
Hay instead of on this sweet and Ten
der grass
This fable teaches that Malice often
Overreaches itself and that i'm striving
to pull another back, We sometimes
not only fall ourselves, but thrust the
other even farther forward.

of those who had> .been allured to be-
