address the Great Council was inStl-
tuted.
As a tribute Of appreciation OF
what Mr.. klettner has done. and be-
cause OF their esteem for him. the
daughters of PocahontaS. through
Mr.. BleaSe. presented Mr., klettner
with a gold headed cane. Mr.. BleaSe
in very sincere words spoke of Mr..
Klettner's large heart and that he
had done so much bul some day he
must, like the rest Of us, grow old
so to help him when this day comes,
and to supply, in some small degree,
support for his weakened body to
lean on. the daughters Of PocahontaS,
wished to lay in his ever willing hands
the cane. as a simple token Of their
appreciation. and as father of the
Order they would beg him to accept
in the same spirit in which ii was
given.
In Mr.. Klettner'S response to this
he assured the daughters OF Poca-
hontaS Of his pleasure in accepting
the cane and thanked them for their
good wishes and kind words. at the
same time he said it was very uneN-
pec!ed and that perhaps If he had
known such was contemplated he
would not have come. He said that
it was rather his pleasure to give
than receive and that what he had
done was for the interests OF the Or
der. and that he held it to be Il duly
to ,lo whatever came IN his way TO
lead men and direct them to better
life. and if only one followed the bet
Ter way. he felt that he had accom-
plished a good work and was amply
repaid for his trouble.
A very interesting feature Of the
evenings entertainment was the ap-
pcarance of Mr.. kle.tner in the cos
tune of Red Man. Addressing the
assembly he depicted the home Of the
native Red Man and the treatmeH; he
received at the hands Of the pale
faces. his word pictures were very
convincing and vivid. With him were
several o:her Red Men all dressed iii
like manner, and at the conclusion OF
his talk they all marched down
through the audience and out Of the
hall.
