mated to the local lodge by State

pin by Mr.. c. w. Barnes. '~.~'e...
The players were a jolly lot. and
as the different ones would advance
TO the head table, an onlooker would
hear some Of them say "The prize Is
mine." or Watch me get the pin,"
and It Is needless to say that such
players failed to win.
Many spectators were present and
seemed to take as much interest In
the game as those at the tables.
