pirate remarks, presented to Mr.. Hughes
a beautiful Masonic jewel. An ovation
greeted Mr.. Hughes as he accepted the
jewel, and began to speak. He recalled,
in stgvoice which bore traces of emotion,
that he had spoken many times in the
hall, but never under circumstances
which touched SO much his emotions.
He humorously referred to the power
full imaginations" of the gentlemen who
had spoken so kindly of him. He wished
the things said of him were. all true, and
was reminded of the meeting of the
Scotchman, Englishman and lrishman.
The Scotohman was proud of having
been taken for Lord A berdeen. The
English man boasted that he had been
taken for the Prince of Wales. The Irish
man, not to be outdone, claimed that
he hadsbeen taken for greater man
than either, for when meeting him few
days before, an acq uaintance had thrown
up his hands and said, Holy Moses, is
this your (Storms of laughter and ap-
plauss.) Mr.. Hughes went on to say that
while he was being eulogized, he had
kept say ing to himself, Holy Moses,
is this you" cloud laughter.) Mr..
Hughes then. continued in more serious
vein, to express his appreciation of the
kindness shown to him and of the visi-
BILE token of the esteem, respect and
confidence of the brethren.

There has been Of late much talk about
our present license laws: what rights ana
privileges are granted TO those having a
| license, and the punishments OF those VINO
violate The law either having or not having
! a license. Time or space will not allow
me To quote much from the law. Section
| Is says in part, Any person VINO snail
hereafter be convicted of selling or offer
ng for sale, any vinous, splrltuous, matt
| or brewed liquors, or any admixture there
F.! of. without license, shall be sentenced u
| nav fine of not less than 5000 nor more
| than s. .000 ald undergo an Imprisonment
in the county j4il Of not leas .han three
months nor more than twelve months,
Anv person having license who shall be
convicted of violating any OF the provisions
of the license laws shall be subjected to
fine OF not less than 800 nor moro than
$500. SO you see if you want TO violate
the license law it is cheaper tc take out
license first.
Sec. II, in part says, that 1t shall not bt
