perrin twelve courses.
At the proper time Geo. Green Of
fercd the following toast:
Ladies, | am sorry that l am tu
torture you; it was not my pleasure to
do IL; IL was my fellows who forced II
upon me. They told me / must say
something to please and make merr-
mont, but friends don't expect that of
me, for am no Bill Nye, Mark Twain,
Daniel Webster or Cicero, but since IL
has gone thus far and we have met
here that we may please our lady
friends, (as well as ourselves we must
not forget that II was this date that
brought TO life our greatest, noblest
and truest soldier, general and states
mana man who was ever ready to
defend his country's honor or his
countrymen-a man who spent a life
long service In making our country
what IL is-in making us the free peo-
pie that we are. May we ali regret
that such man was ever made TO die,
but may we all be thankful that such
a man was ever permitted TO live that
he might hand down TO us the freedom
that we enjoy in our everyday pur-
suits. May the immortal name Of
Gen. Washington live forever.
A few remarks In regard to the la
dies cooking club aud III let you rest.
Ladies, Ia behalf OF the Tenderfoot
club allow me TO state that we appre-
clate your efforts TO become versed in
the arts OF household duties, especially
cooking, and may your little club live
and prosper until you have made your
ability known and are each aud every
one sailing, happily sailing upon the
sea OF matrimony."
Miss Sadie Hill responded on behalf
OF the ladies as follows:
II have the honor aud pleasure TO
speak for the Chrysanthemum cooking
club. Our friend referred TO the mat
rimonial sea. believe there is moth
ing more surely proven than the fact
that cook is necessary TO a safe voy-
age on that sea, and the better the
cook the less danger Of mutiny on the
part OF the crew IL was man
think who wrote:
I'VE may live without poetry music and art,
wemay live without conscience and live
without heart,
We may live without friends aud live with
out books
But civilized man cannot live without
cooks"
So IL this be a fact we may safely
hope that the gentleman's wish will
come true. On behalf OF the @. c. G. >
l thank the Teuderfoots for the pleas
ures OF this night, and would express
our wish that the life OF each OF its
members may be likened 10 a Jelly
cake--a layer Of usefulness, a layer Of
prosperity, crowned by a layer OF hon
Or separated and enriched by the jelly
Of love; and II the cake be found to
have fallen, may IL be as usual, the
cooks fault"
Ira L. Reeves, Of TT. Sheridan. H.,
formerly OF Vinita, was called upon,
and made neat speech, spontaneously.
