Times IL.


coterie of choice spirits gathered in a
small room in Baltimore to organize
lodge or club for social intercourse
and mutual relief. Out of that small
beginning has grown the now mann
moth order Of Odd Fellows. Remem-
bering this the River Falls Lodge No.
1893 of the /. o. o. f. OF Wisconsin
celebrated the nth anniversary on
Monday evening at their lodge rooms,
and CAROLS Hall utilizing the latter
for the public ceremonies and their
banquet hall for the spread. The
occasion was one of much interest.
The exercises were pleasing and in
structive and the supper excellent.
The program consisted of songs and
other music the quartette club giving
some well received selections and the
Messrs. Bates and Bailey aiding the
occasion with the mandolin and
guitar.
Judge Weld gave the opening adj
dress and cordially welcomed the
guests TO the entertainment.
The main feature of the literary
exercises was an address by Rev. G. III :.
Mcintosh upon the Four Elements
that Shape Mans Life-The Home,
The Church, The School, The Lodge.
With few words the speaker sketched
the influences of each of these factors
of human existence and the peculiar
relations of each to his life.
After the address a short time was
spent in social intercourse which was
thoroughly enjoyed by all in renewing
old acquaintance and friendly greet
ings.
Supper being announced the guests
filed into the banquet room where q
fine supper had been prepared by the
sisters of the Rebekah degree. The
tables were each deliberately decorated
each table having been assigned TO a
sister who sought in kindly rivalry to
make her table the prettiest in the
room and curiously enough each one
succeeded, that is the styles were so
various that it depended entirely
upon the views of the critic to de-
termine which he liked best.
After the ceremony of eating had
been completed which, by the way,
deemed to be very important one to
judge from an outsie standpoint, DR..
Ashley, the POSTMASTER, began his
foray upon the victims who had been
selec ted to be roasted in order to
furnish the requisite amount of toasts
for the delectation of the guests.
The Best Things of Odd Fellowship
ca He'd Rev. Mr. Moxie to his feet to
speak earnestly upon the good things
that have been accomplished by the
order.
A select reading by j. +. Johnson
initiated i'm some of its development
of ideas the scenes of Dante and
Milton and produced a visible effect
upon the facial muscles OF the hearers.
1.-THE Aged Brothers of the Order
was responded to by the Noble Grand
of the Lodge, Brother Allen p. Weld.
Interspersed with these toasts had
been selections by the Mandolin Club.
Sister Howe then quietly raked the
men by her essay upon What / would
do if / were Man, but Bro. Newcomb
rather redeemed the matter by his
response to What would do if 1 were
a Woman.
With the closing song of the order
the assembly adjourned with feeling
of complete satisfaction that all had
been good.
