Mason.
Mr. R. n. Harris, better known as
/ the Baron acted as spokesman. He
/ quite ably filled that distinguished po-
sition. 1t was largely through the un-
firing efforts of the Baron that the
other members were kept in a con
stant uprOar of laughter
Mr.. Parker enlivened the affair by
/ 4 very eloquent speech, which was
answered by a lengthy one by Mr.
/ Barry. Numerous toasts were given
| by Bradley Smith, Hiram and James
Gray and the Baron.
Mr.. d. Q. Smith, better known as
Dope Smith, furnished considerable
/ fun for this auspicious occasion by
demonstrating how to come back"
after being declared all in" some
thing Mr.. James ]. Jeffries failed to
| do July 4 last. He. too. like the other
members, gave a toast in honor of the
guest and made some witty remarks.
Mr.. Hill was kept busy endeavor-
! ing to keep all laughing by cOmical
remarks.
Mr.. Mason, one of the four single
members, arose and gave a toast in
honor of the distinguished guest. Mr..
, Parker He also distinguished himself
! by assisting Dope" Smith in com
ing back which was successful.
Messrs. Burrel and johnson con-
/ trlbuted largely to the merriment by
giving toasts.
| Mr.. Williams made several attempts
to sing a solo, but because of the conf
| tinuOus vaudeville stunts in action had
to withdraw from singing.
And last, but not least, comes Mr.
| LetCher, alias 'Letch." the mother
of the club. and, like all other moth
ers, saw that the children enjoyed
| themselves. Mothers have hard times,
ESPECIALLY when their children become
urmanageable, and his case was not
an exception. 1t can be truthfully
| said that "LetCh" was very instru-
mental in making this affair a success.
1t was suggested by one of the
members that ''Letch' see the honor
ed guest, Mr.. Parker, safely home. but
'Letch' thereupon objected, offering
| as reason the same persons who ac-
cOmpanied the guest should return
HIM home
The Baron" once more became
conspicuous when he gave toast to
/ William II. Mason, the junior member
of the club, hoping he would soon be-
come benedict thereby causing a
a repetition of Friday evenings event
! Dancing was INDUCED in by some
for a while, after which all gathered
around the table for the last time and
