piciously accomplished. Court Deputy

presided over the gathering, and pro-
gramme of unusual interest and merit
was Piven for the edification Of the
very &c audience.
The eveningsWas opened by some ex-
cellent banjo and mandolin music given
by number of young men and women
under the leadership of Miss Hattie
Ruddy. The several numbers given
were well received and the musicians
were obliged to respond to an encore
or two before the listeners were salts
fed.
M. J. Lynden and Q. Humphrey gave
several Rotations, humorous and 9TH
erwise, and Secretary Of State Albert
Berg sang the Armorer's song from
Robin Hood, and later 1.-The Drink
ing Song" Little George fully, a
tiny miss of perhaps ten years, as
founded her hearers by her violin
playing. Hardly big enough to hold her
instrument, she mounted the platform
with the grace of an older person and
dashed off a bit of Scotch melody and
followed 1T with a Sousa march to a
very clever piano accompaniment by
> Mrs. aq.l w. IIallowell.s7 The little lady
quite captured her hearers. Brief
speeches on the different features Of
the order were made by Supreme
Ranger w. A. Stolts, Past High Chief
Ranger Fred M. Lloyd, who spoke on
the patriotic phase; DIR. A K Norton,
of Minneapolis, high physician of Min
nesota, who touched on the fraternal
feeling of the members of the Y. o. F.,
and Judge Shoemaker, high chief
ranger, who gave brief but very In
tereSting sketch of the order since its
birth in the state.
1t was the youngest Of the great fra
terna1 orders, but a great, strong, lusty
yOungster with grand start and a.
still grander future. There were all
ready a large number Of members, and
the prospects for the upbuilding of the
different courts, especially since the in
Stitution of the high court, were ex-
ceedingly bright.
AT the conclusion of Judge Schoen-
makers talk the floor was cleared
and the guests of the Foresters Joined
with them Ia jolly dance, which
lasted until midnight. During the
evening there was an Informal spread
laid out for the guests of the evening
The session Of the high court will
probably end this morning.
