ness of these principles 1t is, said
Mr.. UIlery, comparatively easy to go
to the bedside of a friend, to aid and
comfort him, but it is much harder to
do so for a stranger. There are some
of us who do these things, and more
of us should. We should help the
stranger when he comes among u.s.
In this connection, Mr. Ullery paid a
strong tribute, to a member of the To-
cal lodge, whom he thought most tru-
ly exemphfied the true spirit of fra
| ternity. He had reached the time of
life when it was not the easiest thing
to do. but in spite of many difficult
of the truest spirits of fraternity it
had been his good fortune to know.
Young Men, was the subject of the
| toast assigned to Judge A. J. Nisbet.
The subject was a large one. said Mr..
Nisbet, and one in which he was great
interested in young men; all nations
and all ages, and especially Che young
ladies. The latter more so than 9TH
ers of us. The condition of the Unit
ed States, of the world. financially, so
cially, politically and morally, owed
much to a young man. The greatest
political document in the history of
the ages, and in the history of all peo-
pies, was written by young man
thirty-two years of age. The world
had been taught that people were
bora in a certain class, there to remain
that kings were born to rule, but this
young man, Thomas Jefferson, had an
nounced that all men are born free
and equal.
This idea had worked a revolution
in the affairs of all nations. The docu-
ment to which he referred was the
Declaration of independence. The
Constitution had been formed largely
by young men, Jefferson and Alexan-
der Hamilton, both young men. The
doctrines and the principles framed
by these young men had made our
nation the great success it was. Ia
these days of education, young men
were enabled to secure an education
in the state colleges at very little cost
The result is that the young men are
in control of the affairs of the nation.
They control our finances, our rail
roads. One of these young men, is our
President, Theodore Roosevelt. whom
he considered the greatest President
we have ever had, not even excepting
Washington.
Judge Nisbet then referred to al
few of the young men who are now
making history. He spoke in glow
ing terms of Governor Hughes, of
New York, of Folk of Missouri. of
the young governor of Illinois. and
then paid a warm tribute to Cover
nor Hagerman- This young man from |
this our home county, is entitled to
the thanks of every honest man and |
woman in the Territory of New Mex

remarks were greeted with cheers.

mention of the names of Attorney Gen

of the rising generation of young men.

Henry H Swartz responded to the
subject. Father. He treated his
subject in a humorous vein, and his re
marks were greeted with much ap-
plause.
Owing to the inability of Mrs. s. P.
Dennilg to be present the subject as
signed to her, was discussed by Will
he speaking on, The True
Knight He treated his theme as co1-
sisting of three scenes, similar to
those thrown by the stereopticon, but
thrown on the mental, rather than on
the visible screen. He first presented
a story of a fisherman and a pair of
scales, which was well told and in
a humorous manner. He then gave
some of the personal experiences of L
Mr.. Robinson many years ago dur
ing the great yellow fever time at
Memphis, when so many perished by

man, who was prominent for his work
N resisting the advance of the fever.
This man James x. Jarvis, the intro
iucer of the Pythial order into Men,
