DEMONSTRATED Watch.

Inc watch, which was attached to a solid
gold chain, bearing circular locket Of gold
encrusted with diamonds, had inside a
photograph on ivory Of Mrs. Honey, wife
of the commander.
The presentation was made by Past Com
mander B. F. Chase who paid an eloonent
tribute to the retiring commander of the
post, whose career as a soldier and citi-
zen' and as comrade of the post he de-
picted In words of praise. He then pre-
scented the watch as testimonial of the
love and affection of the 400 members of
Lincoln Post for one who had so long
served them in official capacity. and who
rev moments later was to be installed as
chaplain of the post, from which office he
had retired to take the command of the
organization. Commander Honey was
much anected BIZ the tribute Of eloquence
and by the beauty of the watch, and ac-
cepted 1t in fitting though broken terms
Inc badge which was presented to Mrs.
thompson Is of regulation size and style
out In heavy solid gold, one Of the hand
soonest ever presented to a corps presi-
dent, 1t Is said. The past rank drop is in
red enamel with the monogram w. r. C.
in gold letters. The inscription on the star
indicates that 1t was presented to Mrs.
Thompson, president Of Lincoln Corps, "by
the comrades Of Lincoln Post"
The presentation was made by Comman-
der Honey, who took occasion to express
his admiration for the great auxiliary of
the Grand Army Of the Republic and his
admiration for the members of Lincoln
Corps and its president In particular, who
had done so much to assist the post and to
alleviate the sickness and suffering among
veterans and their families. The badge he
said. was a very slight token of the esteem
in which the retiring president had been
held by all the post members.
Mrs. Thompson accepted the badge in a
few remarks, reafflrmlng her allegiance to
the post and to the Grand Army of the
Republic. and declaring that In accepting
the much-prized badge she did so with the
hope that she might live many years to
