Friends Called Him.
Towards the close of the meeting of
Arcanum Lodge of Odd fellows,ln Bridge-
port, last Friday night, there wasa little
event not down on the programme, and
it came as a pleasant surprise to all but
a very few who were in the secret. It
was at the 1 xpense of Past Grandlflepre
mutative limb, of Norwalk. and it is
safe to say that he will not forget it as
long as he lives.
' No Oddfellow in the state is more pop-
ular with the members of the order than
the pungent, sharp-witted secretary of
Our Brothers' Lodge. No occasion is
felt to be complete without him and
never does he fail to interest his hearers
’ when called upon for remarks.
, Brother Keith is like steel. The live-
liest sparks of his wit fly off best when
he comes in contact with the dint of
some one else; and woe be to the unlucky
individual who presumes to commence
the attack. He may expect a flayiog,
and he usually gets it to the intense de-
light of the listeners.
Brother Keith's mostintimate friends
in the order know this and they usually
sacrifice themselves to draw him out
Friday night was noexoeption, and Past
Grand Representative Camp was select-
ed to do the trick.
He commenced by saying that he had
an ancient emblem of the order which
he had been authorized to present to the
member of the order who could come up
toacertarn standard. He read from 11

may be said that it was not all gold. He
wound up by saying that he had found
the man whom he thought ought to
have the relic. With the assistance of
Grand Treasurer Marigold he then pre-
sented Brother Keith with the emblem
and roll of paper which informed him
that he was entitled to it.
The emblem consisted of a wooden
box, highly polished. and lined on the
inside with satin, in which repeated three
nicely gilded links of an ox-chain. There
was a about of laughter and applause,
and Brother Kieth arose all primed for a
reply. But it was right here that his
Bridgeport friends got the best of him
He was just about to open on Brother
Camp in the most approved fashion,
wnen Toastmaster Hunt stopped him.
He looked a little surprised at this
sort of treatment, but he waited patient
ly for his opportunity. Past Grand Rep
resentative Hunt then made a neat little
speech in which he apologiz 1d for what
Brother Camp had said. He spoke of the
high esteemin which Brother Kieth was
held by the Oddfellows of Bridgeport,
and how glad they were that he was
present among them that evening. He
then drew from behind his chair a fine
gold~headed cane which he handed to
Brother Kieth, at the same time saying
that it was but a small token of the high
regard in which he was held by those
few friends who had known him so
long and were aware of his worth as an
()dllfellow.
Past Grand Representative Keith was
completely taken by surprise and for an
instant even his ready tongue refused to
respond. The gull tipped words with
which he was loaded to reply to Brothel
Campy re of no use here, and he had

The temperance rally in Music Hall,
yesterday afternoon. was very largely
attended, and the exercises were of a
most interesting character. The plat-
form was occupied by the members of
the Young Woman’s Christian Temper-
ance Union, under whose auspices the
meeting was held, the. speakers of the
afternoon and a male quintette. Mrs.
George F. Waters, president of the
Union, presided. After Rev. (3.. El.
Beard had offered prayer, the audience
sang “My Country, "l‘is of Thee."
Mrs. A. J. Richardson made the open-
ing jaddress. She said she was always
pleased tosee the differer'it denomini-
tions meet together in the great cause or
temperance, all working harmoniously
toward the extermination of the liquor
traffic.
Rev. John T. Winters, in an interest-
ing address, said he gladly raised his
voice in the cry for total abstinence. In
these days, when Voices were raised
against it and power and custom
s lemed to be leagued together to belittle
temperance, it behooved all thinking
people to bclinked together and to stand
shoulder to shoulder to work for this
object. There were different opinions
in regard to the best way to suppress the
drink habit. One was to not so
