"Windet Zum Kranze mir Gerste und
Hopfen."


Hopfen."
The ovation given to Mr.. Frank Ar
mold the bushes manager of the Lone
Star Brewery on his thirty-fifth natal
anniversary Thursday during the
morning hours, was repeated in a SUI
perlative form in the evening at Aug.
Schilling's park, adjacent TO the brew
cry.
The fine shaded lawn had been sup
piled with incandescant globes and
light was furnished from the large mo-
tor of the brewery. The Lassalle
Maennerchor was the first to arrive
and greeted the celebrant with one of
Franz Abt's most happy productions
Sweet Evening Comes, her dusky man
tie throwing" after which the presi-
dent of the "Chor" Mr.. Oswald Acht-
zehn, greeted and congratulated Mr..
Arnold in the name OF the society
Shortly after the Deutsche Maen ner-
Choir arrived and again surprise, A
brass band of Picked Ten" of Carl
Beck's band under the leadership of
Prof. Spintig, headed a torch light pro-
cession of at least a hundred of the
employees of the brewery carrying
lampions and marching into the park
and forming a half circle, when Mr..
John Gunkel delivered an address in
behalf of the employees, referring to
the pleasant and happy relations ex-
listing between the management and
the forces employed. The address was
responded to in the same happy mood
by Mr.. Arnold, after which the lam
pions We're suspended in the twigs and
forks of the trees, and in connection
with the incandescants made the little
park appear like some idyllic abode of
the gods of ancient mythology.
Mr.. F. G. Bass, as master of cere-
monies, was dethroned by Herr Carl
Beck who in return was attacked by
Max Sutor in numerous repartee and
ever ready wit Mr. H. Breusing had
an original "Steg- Ref" poem pertinent
to the bachelor life Of Mr.. Arnold, as
follows:
/ cannot f1atter, therefore vow!
At thirty-five he's lost sir,
Who does not take himself Frau
At whatsoever cost sir!
Do therefore take a fools advice
Methinks with seeming reason
A charming wife will soothe life's strife
Through ages chill winter season.
Then here's my health with wish of
wealth,
For happiness without sir
With loves young kiss and that and
this,
Is humbug. out and out, sir.
True, love rules court. and camp and
grove,
But cash rules all my honey,
So never mind the pretty girl,
But always mind the money!
A Spanish life time then to you,
Returning every year, sir,
With hosts of friends and little ones
And houseful of good cheer, sir.
Herr Beck was compelled to arouse
the bandmaster and wanted to know
as to whether it was from Castroville
or Boerne and that 1--WE" wanted the
worth of our money. Prof. Spintig
responed with serio-burlesque on his
pet instrument the applause to which
made the band forget being accused
of rural parentage and some fine Sc
lections, ,intermingled with productions
of the singing societies, separate and
full choruses, enBivened the festivities
of the evening.
The celebration on pie ended as
it had begun in the most happy mood.
