The above tells the story of the re-
iuvenation of No. 1877 Loyal Order
Of Moose in Ray. Not even the most
optimistic of his Brother Moose imag-
med that Brother Wilson could inject
such e. quantity and quality of digitalis
into the corporeal personality of our
local Monarch of the Forests When
four savage looking men in red fezzez
excuse that extra ~ broke into town
from Phoenix and tore through our
streets in DR.. Boido's blonde petroleum
wagon, we inwardly knew that did
dirgs would be transpired. What a
pleasure it was and what a treat to
he assembled neophytes to see and
hear such masterful renditions of
Ritualistic work at the hands (and
hips) of those men from our Capital
City. And what pleasure it was to
nave good Brother Richardson with us
again We have missed him in our
'mongst." The goat was in trim. At
east his whiskers We're.
The little old war-horse of the lodge,
Shine Staiger, was appointed py
Brother Boido to raise the old charter
to its new place of abode on the walls
f knights of Pythias Hall. While it
vas being placed in position, the en-
ire membership sang the National
Anthem and saluted the emblem of
authority.
Never in the history of the Order
las there been more enthusiastic
gathering. 1t was a tribtue to- the
quiet little man in the foolish Pana-
ma hat and short sleeved shirt. As
istart National Director Frederick H.
Wilson. He has given to Ray lodge
composed Of the workaday world and
It will be a creation Of lasting propen-
stiles.
He will remain with us until Thurs
day, June 1st. inclusive, when he will
go to Hayden to establish lodge in
hat town. The following officers

Speechmaking followed the installa-
| ton and initiation and in passing We
may state that Ray is not devoid OF
| Ciceros and Patrick Henrys. It was
an occasion long to be remembered
n the annals of local fraternity work
| and 1t was a splendid tribute TO ar
ganization which goes down into the
ehennas Of life and takes the down
and out chap by the arm and whispers
n his ear, Come old fellow, you've
got twice as many friends as you think
you have"
| The Order which points his eye to-
wards Mooshcart. Illinois, where the
great home Of the Order reposes
| Where the cool hand of Fraternity is
placed upon the fevered brow Of the
man whom life has dealt an unkindly
Kick. With the orphaned boy or gir
who has been taken oy the hand and
led TO the forum of self-respect anc
placed upon pinnacle on whose base
5 inscribed the words ONE FOR ALL
AND ALL FOR ONE.
