81 le Lodge was elected to the po-
sition OF grand master-at-arms, he
was highly elated, but upon the first Off
cisl visit made by the grand officers he
found that he had TO be decorated with
q sword and belt. Then he rebelled, and
was about to resign, but upon the earnest
solicitation OF the remainder OF the board
he was induced TO retain the position.
This he was willing to do providing,
however, he could get rid OF the sword
and belt. This, OF course, could not be
allowed. One of the members OF the
board took Brother Winchester in hand
and gave him lesson or two in handling
a sword, and so pleased was he that at
the present time he had much rather
lose ~ than to miss a visitation, and the
sword, and II is whispered that he is
now so proficient in the art OF handling
sword that he is about to open a school
OF instruction.
