THOUGHT HIS TIME HAD COME
Dan Glazier Imagined He Was Being
Handled by Rutfians-Was Only a
Crowd Of His Best Friends Who
Gathered to Help Him Celebrate
His Thirty.third Birthday.

When Dan Glazer, the genial prop
rietor Of the Branch store entered his
home Sunday evening, which for some
reason was entirely darkened, he
thought that he was in the hands OF
the enemy. Some one grabbed him and
the first thing he knew he was being
tossed up towards the ceiling. Would
the tossing never stop. Up he went,
once, twice, thrice, until he had been
tossed three and thirty times, and
then he took tumble. He realized
that Sunday was his birthday and he
was just SO years Of age. The lights
were turned on and he beheld large
number Of his friends present, they
having gathered to show him one OF
the best times of his life.
A grand march was formed, lead by
his brother, H. L. Glazer and wife and
all were seated at beautifully set
table, laden with delicious viands.
Presents came from everywhere. He
was as pleased as lad with pair OF
red top boots, for he was remembered
with many handsome gifts.
A champaign supper was served
and it was perfect in all OF It's ap-
pointments. Later the dining room
was cleared and the guests spent the
evening in dancing. Piano selections
were rendered by Misses Ella Banks
and Lena Bader and Mrs. B. D. Glaz-
er. Rev. D. Hirch, the Rabbi, gave an
address. Mrs. H. R. Rozen delighted
the guests with vocal solo. After
the dance tea was served. Those
present at the enjoyable affair were
Messrs and Mesdames H. L. Glazer,
A. Banks, H. o. Feldman, Marjohs, II.
Rozen and Messrs A. Miller, Lyman,
Feldman, Segall, Ed Rozen, Frank
Glickman, Ben Glazer and Rev. D.
Hirch, Mr.. and Mrs. NJ. Banks and
Mr.. and Mrs. Sam Bader. e Rozen Is
given the credit for keeping the host
away from his home during the day,
during which time great preparations
were made ready for the party.

For a good many years the lodge
was located in the third story of the
Gilroy & Hetherton block, but that
location being inadequate for the
growing order, the progressive Ma
sons began to devise ways and means
of securing home for themselves OF
which they might be proud. The Mi
not Temple Building Association was
formed, and soon enough stock was
subscribed to warrant the undertak-
ing Of erecting the present place Of
abode for the order The building
consists Of three full stories, with
basement, and was built at a cost Of
approximately $4,000, which includes
the cost of the lots. The building
faces the east and more admirable
location is not to be had in the city.
The building is the home of the Blue
lodge, the Chapter and the Command
cry. Each order is in a thriving con-

approximately 125 members in this
lodge. All of the lodges are growing
very rapidly, and the time is not far
distant when the Star in the West

the banquet the gentlemen repaired to
the lounging rooms where their cigars
were enjoyed Everything was done
by the home Masons to show the out
