Hawkeye Camp No. Is W. o. w.
was at home to its friends on Saturday
evening aud an excellent programme
consisting of toasts. recitations and
music was we'll carried out The COM
mittee on arrangements had done
splendid work and all was in readiness
for the coming of the merry makers
Consul Commander A. r. Hill acted as
chairman of the meeting and after a
neat little speech he introduced Sow.
G. L. Caswen who made the address of
welcome. Mr.. Caswell was in a partic.
ularly happy mood and his brief speech
was filled with timely hits, laughable
stories and the genuine spirits of well
come This address was responded to
by Mrs. Thos. Luney on behalf of the
ladies OF the Woodmen Circle. Mrs.
Luney is pleasing and self-possessed
speaker, and her words of appreciation
and her talk OF the work of the Circle
and its purposes were very well receiv-
| ed Little Bessie Marshall delighted
the audience with a recitation For
one so young she does remarkably we'll
her enunciation is plain and she re-
cites with all the understanding and
vigor OF a grown up The Wood
men were determined that honor
should be done Miss Lizzie Temple,
recently elected one of the State Man
ayers OF the Circle and Mrs. F. J Nc
Cormick was called upon to speak con-
corning her. Mrs. McCormick;s adj
dress was brief but it well expressed
the feelings of the Circle for their
honored member
BY special request Mr.. Fred Soehl
delivered humorous recitation which
delighted the audience and convulsed
them with laughter. Mr.. Soehl' S rep
utation as declaimer is already known
and he always does we'll. Miss Mabel
McAhren delivered with much feeling
and pathos the story OF the farm mort
gage and this was followed by we'll
executed instrumental solo by Miss
Grace Baer
The company. then adjourned to the
Red Men hall where luncheon was
served and where under the direction
of POSTMASTER VanNess !. number of
excellent toasts were delivered. Prof.
VanNess makes an delightful toast
master, always being able to find the
right phrase to set the speaker at his
ease and at the same time to put him
on his mettle. Mr.. Jas. Armstrong
delivered an excellent toast on the
Lodge Room. He spoke of the good
influence of fraternities and the bene-
fits arising from the lodge room, not
only to the members and their fam.
lilies but to the community at large.
Andrew Stewart as the handsomest
bachelor in the lodge was called upon
a to respond, to "The LADIES' After
extolling the merits of the gentler sex
Andrew went on to PROFOUND a new
doctrine ard proposed that the privil
eyes oil leap year should be extended
to all the years and thus place upor
the ladies the duty of proposing. Mr.
Stewards suggestions we're greeted
with rounds of laughter as the boys
we're inclined to think that they were
! prompted by selfish motives.
Mr.. d. L. Boynton spoke with ;
pleasing mixture of sense and non
sense on the subject AN AK to Grind
He spoke of the right and the wrons
kind of axes to grind and the RICH
and wrong way of grinding them. I'll
had no words of disapprobation strons
enough for the self-seeker only ant
praised those who work for caus
and for others rather than for them
selves.
Perhaps the best toast of the even
ing, if we may be allowed compal
ison, was the one given by Mr.. S. V
