POET BURNS AS A pUeILIS1
A Masonic Souvenir of His Fighting
Abnity Owned In Chicago.


A part Of tile Masonic altar that once
brought the Scottish bard, Robert
Burns, In dire disgrace before his
lodge Is now In the possession Of
Chicago woman. Mrs. w Il. Funch OF
1850 Sidney avenue, and Is treasured
by her as a fnmily heirloom.
Mrs Funch is by birth Canadian
OF Scotch origin. In the days when her
grandfather George MacRae, was
young he attended the same lodge as
did Bobble Burns aud was one Of the
"llohts" OF the town. one night before
lodge meeting the poet and MacRae
sat long together
Bousing at the nappy.
And gottin fou and unco happy.
And theu arm Ia arm they sauntered
slowly to the room where the Masons
were wont TO assemble.
9 All would have gone well had not
Burns desired to show his Masonic
brethren how good pugllist he was,
and he LET go a heavy undercut az Mac
Rae, arousing the latters lighting
blood, and the bout began, which re-
suited IA MncHae being relied 10 the
fioor and Bobbie Burns throwing the
four legged altar, or stand, at him as
he attempted to rise.
Luckily he missed him aim, and the
stand struck violently against the wall,
shatterlng completely one Of the legs
At the following meeting the two
friends were brought before the order
for trial. A fine was imposed on them,
and they were made to replace the al
tar. The broken one was thrown out
and as MacRae went home he carried
the stand with him.
It is about two feet high and is Of a
style out OF use today in the Masonic
order 1t has since been preserved in
the family as an heirloom.--Chicago

Accidents resulting in fires usually oc-
cur oH festive days and well he knows
IT, consequently his thoughts dwell
very little on the joys of the holiday.
Christmas trees having many colored
candles produce a beautiful effect when
lighted, but there Is much danger at

fire results, which turns Joy into
