ed that a prominent Mason of Chicago
would give them a talk and Past Mas
syxyaS int ATvr r,h-
is not past master. made the most Of the
mistake and did give quite an elaborate
talk; but he utilized the material he had
prepared for an address at a big celebra-
ton of his own lodge, which was to be
given later on. An enterprising local cor
respondent, thinking the address would
interest the home folks, got it from Mr..
Coyne, who believed it was for the local
morning of the celebration he read In the
Chicago Tribune the full text of his
speech he had prepared so carefully for
home consumption, with the added state
ment that it was made by Past Master
F. E. Coype of Chicago. The joke was
on him at home and 1t is said it cost
something more than the loss of the
speech.
