 "They know what it is to work hard and long for moderate return, but they are men of intelligence, in tegrity. and they are anxious that their children shall have every op- portunity to evolve, to grow, to be- come.' The spirit of fraternity is always beautiful, and all fraternal orders have much to recommend them, but l do not know of any other order that has undertaken great work in the education of the children of it's members. and this education of a Ipractical. common n-sense kind, free from frills. the frivolities and the fiummery that so often pass for edu- cation.
 We believe in mingling the beauti l ful with the prosaic things of life
 that a smiling word of welcome ex- tended the living, supercedes in eff cacy tears for the departed We dream of the upbuihling of the future rather than grope among the his 1 tories of the past.
 1 Now and in the ages yet to be, | Moosedom teaches it's patrons to live while we do live, beneath Heavens l blue vault. amid the fragrant fields, ] by the ripping brooks, and watch
 the cool mists creep round the purple hills and Gods banners flung like
 a cloth of gold across the sunset sky: i beneath the eternal stars. each si-
 lently pouring it's stream of sidereal 1 fire into the great realm of dark
 ness--and they seem like the eyes of pitying angels-each of us works out l little by little through the long ages our betterment. our upbuilding and | the mystery of life.

 At this point the speaker took oc-
 casion to individually eulogize C. A.
 Smith, than whom he said he had
 no dearer friend. Moose Smith at the time of his death several months ago, was the secretary of the cor poration commission. of which MT Geary is a member. A paragraph from Gray's Elegy, said the speaker, could easily be applied to this de- parted friend.
 'Large was his bounty and his soul sincere.
 Heaven did recompense as largely
 send:
 He gave to misery all he had.-a
 He gained from Heaven-'twas all he wshed-a friend
 l Continuing, he said:
 The gleaming robes of Moosedom we follow through life, to better and a erander day.
 All that the order stands for, all
 that it teaches, has. eagle-like. scared | that never wink and wings that nev- CT tire
 This order was not born to perish from the earth May the golden bells
 of memory ever peal our allegiance; may we ever recall the debt of grati
 tude we owe our fellowman. May i've ever pay tender and loving trib- ute to those departed brothers, sweep ing OCT the horizon of the great be- yond q vast. voceless Niagara of the dead May we ever recollect our obligations shall be maintained above stain or reproach. Bear Tn
 mind the splendor. the courage, the love and protection of his kind. borne bv the noble animal from which this
 order derives its name-maintain in | creasing vigilance over our institu' tions-render greater and better our | university at Mooseheart. and until the clouds of chaos enveiop the sun
 set of time, your allegiance, pride, respect and love for Moosedom will be as apropos as the dew bespangling
 the violet or as fragrance befittlng 1 the rose. Let us perform our duties to each other. bearing in mind at ali ! times the true spirit of fraternity and we can then attain the vast heights where bazes Gods most ra- diant star.
 'I believe in the hands that work;
 in the brains that think. and in the
 hearts that love"
 "A little more patience, a little
 more charity for all, a little more devotion, little more love; with less | lowing down to the past. and silent ignoring of the chronic scold; a brave looking forward to the fu- l ture with more faith in our fellows,
 and the race will be ripe for great
 burst of light and life
 l May our names, as the names of 1 our brothers departed, chime melo-
 diously in the ear of future days. | When the last hour approaches, when Thanatos casts his sable man. tie OCT all that is mortal here, may

 and faithful servant
