INEE in the city of Butte by the vari-
4VA Gus orders, and to the Elks
mas belonged the title of
King of Entertainers But they were
indeed partly robbed of that title last
wednesday evening by the independent
order OF FOresters, who gave the best
anu most unique entertainment ever pre-
scented by a lodge in this city. Those who
We're fortunate enough to be there will
ever have good cause to couple the name
OF Court Silver Seal Independent Order
OF Foresters, with one of the most enjoy
able evenings of their life. Muntzer's
hall was crowded to it's utmost capacity,
many having to stand during the entire
evening. Chief Ranger J. Nat Londoner
presided. He announced each number
on the programme and kept the refresh
ment mmitt active. The first num-
Der was a selection by a mandolin club
composed of Mcssrs. Ray, Bosch, Jud
Bosch. Fred Orem and George ROBBIE.
The members of the club fairly outdid
themselves and received encore after en-
core, to which they were compelled to re-
spond. They We're followed by Mr.. M. S.
Burns, who, in a very happy and pleasing
manner, delivered the address of well
come. He said that while the Foresters
could not lay claim to the title of being
the best people IN earth" they certainly
ranked next to them, and before the hour

they indeed made good his assertion. Mr..
w. f. Waters, Will Tague and A. C.
Pease were next called upon, and sang
some very fine songs. The inimitable S.
b. Loveridge kept the hall in a continue
GUS uDroar for almost an hour with his
quaint New England stories. The versa
tile member of the Mandolin club We're
called upon, and they again enchanted
their hearers by rendering several beau
tiful songs. Prof. Murray, a local ma
gician, performed countless ~sleight-of-
hand tricks, giving a very clever exhibit
ton of the mystic art. After a few min
utes intermission, Chief Ranger Landoner
arose and in a very modest manner said
he had been requested to read THE Seven
Ages" from Shakespeare. No one had
any idea from the timorous announce
ment what was in store for them, and
when Mr.. Londoner had finished the aD-
plause was deafening. Then followed
many songs, stories and recitatiOns. Not
only the event of the evening, but what
proved to be a genuine artistic treat, such
as is seldom seen in Butte, concluded the
evenings entertainment. Chief Ranger
Londoner announced that another re-
quest had reached him-this time to give
an representation of Mansfield as DR..
Jykel and Mr.. Hyde; and While he was
not prepared he would do the best he
could under the circumstances. 1t is
Cult " odS w hi'>A
doner is we'll known in Butte, but 1T is a
question whether Richard Mansfield
could nave done any better; n for some
time after Mr.. Londoner stood upon the
platform receiving the congratulations
of his many friends. AS the people were
leaving the hall the Mandolin club rem
dered a march and on every side could pe
heard expressions Of delight, and nothing
but words of praise for the independent
Order Of FOresters.
Rabbi Maurice Eisenberg, whose ability
as a p%ortrayer of Shakespearean ltera-
ture is well known in Butte and othel
cities of Montana, is preparing 10 give d
series of Shakespearean rtcltals IN Butte
A few days ago he entertained the people
of Dillon and the Tribune of that city
contained the following complimentary
notice: "Shylock was re-created for all
who listened to Rabbi Maurice Essen
berg's lecture on Tuesday night. Despite
the storm, a large number gathered in
the Baptist church and had the weather
been twice as severe they would ave
been we'll rewarded for their temerity in
facing the elements. The speaker held
his auditors s~pellbound; his vocabulary
seemed ineNhaustible, and his magma
ton painted fascinating word pictures
and altogether it was an intellectual treat
and an inspiration to the study of Shakes
peare and an exhibition of the glories OF
our tongue"
