lodge Wednesday evening, IL being
presented 20 them by delegation
from Friendly Union lodge In the
delegation was a somewhat tired
brother ana upon him devolved the
duty OF making the presentation
speech. one Of the members of Eaele
lodge named Mosley got onto" the
fact that the brother was new In the
way of speechmaking. and some OF the
other members affirm that they saw
chunks OF mischief as large as wal
nut rolling out Of Brother Mosley's big
blue eyes
The three links are OF silver and IL Is
the intention of Washington Park
lodge that they shall be presented by
one lodge 10 the other until every
lodge, encampment. and Rebekah lodge
has been visited. Now there are 81
lodges, encampments and 80 Rebek-
AN lodges. This is where Brother Mos
ley got his cue, and simply said that
