One OF the most pleasing events in
connection with the contest for men,
bers OF the a. O. H. now in progress
throughout Minnesota, was the re-
union and initiation OF ten new men,
bers OF Div. No. $. Callill, Hcnnepin
county. last Sunday. The day was
pleasant and a large number OF prom
inent members OF the order in Min
neapolis and ST. Paul availed them
selves OF the opportunity OF going in
to the country. The start was made
early i'll order that all might have the
opportunity OF attending high mass
which was celebrated by Rev. Thomas
Glceson. Father Glceson was born
and raised in Calill and is beloved by
all the people in that vicinity. He
delivered powerful sermon on the
occasion, Astounding in patriotism and
praise for the A. O. II. and its aims
and objects in life. The church was
filled to its capacity and the eloquent
sermon will be long remembered by
all who had the good fortune to hear
it. After mass dinner was served at
the home of Michael Gleason, presi-
dent OF Div. No. S. These hospitablc
people assisted by several OF the ladies
served an excellent dinner. The
guests were many and quite hungry,
but there seemed to be no end OF good
things served. 1t is estimated that
nearly one hundred persons partook OF
the feast. At two o'clock the cere-
mony Of initiation was conducted in
the school building. The degree team
OF Div. No. A. o. II. Of Minnc-
apolis did the work, Judge Corrigan
being master of ceremonies. After
the work was finished fine program
was rendered which included stirring
addresses by ]. ]. Regain. state presi-
