A part of the Masonic altar that once brought the Scottish bard, Robert Burns, in dire dis race before his lodge is now in th possession of a Chicago woman, Mrs. W. F. Punch. of 1350 Sidney avenue, and is treasured by her as a family heirloom. Mrs. Funch is by oirth a Canadian oi Scotch origin. in tile days so her grandfather. George M. e _ was young he attended the same lodge as did Bobbie Burns and was one of the "llchts" oi the town. One night before lodge meeting the poet and Macitac sat long together . Bousing at the nappy And getting ion and unco happy And then arm in arm they sauntered slowly to the room where the Masons were wont to assemble. All wouldvhave gone well had not Burns desired to show his Masonic brethren how good a pugiiist he was and he let go a heavy undercut at Mac- itae, arousing the latter's fighting blood, and the bout began, which re- sulted in Macl-‘tae being felled to the floor and Bobble Burns throwing the four-legged altar, or stand, at him as he attempted to rise. Luckily he missed his aim, and the stand struck violently against the wall. shattering completely one of the legs. At the following meeting the two friends were brought before the order for trial. A line was imposed on them, and they were made. to replace this al- tar. The broken one was thrown out. and as Macliae went home he carried the stand with him. it is about two feet high and is of a style out of use today in the Masonic order. it has since been preserved in the family as an heirloom—Chicago Tribune. A LUCKY BIT OF TIN. Telling of a narrow escape from death which he had necently experi« enced. a railroad switchman said: "I was leaning up against the end of that blue box car over there, think- ing of what 1 was going to have for dinner, when i thought 1 saw a silver dollar lying in the street about ten feet away from me. "i knew there was a shifter on the same track, but i thought. it. was down on the wharf at that time. 1 hadn't more than stepped away from he end of that car when the shift hunted into it and drove it ahead about :0 feet. Say. suppose l hadn't seen that silver dollar and started for it? Where would i have been now? Yes, a man that is working around the cars has got to pay strict attention to business. "Oh. I forgot to tell you that that silver dollar was only a round piece of tin. but it served its purpose just as well as the real thing could have done. l'm going to wear it on my watch chain for a charm. it ought to be bet« ter than a rabbit's foot."—-Portland Express.
