NOT TOO GOOD

the A. q. U. w.
The officers of the A. o. L. w. were
installed last Monday night and a pro-
gram of lively interest was rendered. A
large attendance characterized the event
and the best of feeling was present
The hall was decorated in a most tasty
and enlivening manner. Flags, shields,
banners, notices and insignias hung on
every wall, arranged in the most artistic
shapes. The decoration committee de-
serve a special puff and it is sure they
received many on this evening as the
strangers entered the gorgeously and
splendidly arranged portals. The effect
was more than was anticipated.
Owing to the limited space of the hall
it was impossible to hold the installation
service public and it was decided at the
previous meeting that each member
should be allowed one escort. Accord
ingly about thirty-five couples were pres
ent to partake of the feast of pleasure
which was in store. The program was
rendered as follows:
P. f. Hammersley spoke well explain
ing the benefits of the order. He gave
statistics of its growth rnd progress,
which strongly argued in favor of its
patronage and recommended that every
man ought to be a member of it. The
history Of its growth and progress was a
nicely connected treatise which gave en-
tertainment and showed the speaker to
be we'll versed in his subject.
NJ. E. Lennon gave a very nice talk
in which he spoke we'll Of both the social
and beneficiary features of the order. He
believed it important that such a lodge
in this place should be sustained and
that the young men especially should
avail themselves of its advantages.
Z. K. Abbott gave reasons why the
boys shold congratulate themselves upon
the occasion. He explained parts of
the mysterious work in such a manner
as to convince both ladies' and gentlemen
that it is an esteemed honor to be a
member. Everybody looked pleased
when he had finished.
Music intersperced and enlivened the
program.
Master Workman, G.. J. Ringwald
sang a beautiful solo, and assisted by
Mrs. P. A. McPhee rendered a fine duet.
Mr.. and Mrs Christie, with piano and
flute, gave instrumental interludes and
the whole was very pleasing to all.
Then came the installation which was
conducted in the most impressive man
ner. VIM. Harrison took the part of
Grand Master Workman and as a pre-
siding officer is fully equal to the de-
mand. P. A. McPhee officiated as
Past Master Workman. The chairs dur
ing the service were filled with the best
men of the lodge. Jno. S. Cook held
