“'ntch Presentation.
Since Butler Lodge. I. 0. 0. F.. de-
cided to adopt the new work. no mem~
ber has labored so faithfully and efl’ect-
uallv to have it done in the best manner
as Past Grand Frank A. ' Smith. His
whole heart has been in the work. and
he has given his time and energy
without stint. and the Lodge very'ap~
propriately considered his services enti-
tled to recognition. and contributed lib~
orally for the procuring of a suitable ten-
timonial. which was done. entirely with-
out Mr. Smith‘s knowledge.
Last evening the Lodgeconferred the
around degree. which was very finely
rendered. After the work was ended.
Past Grand Smith was called forward by
Noble Grand I‘hilo H. Elzca. who pre-
sented him on behalf of the Lodge with
a beautiful hunting case “‘altham watch
bearing the following inscri ition: "Pre-
sented to Past Grand Fran A. Smith

Mr. Elm said 2
Brother Ills! Grand Smirk—For the
past three months you have been seen
prowling around in the rooms of Butler
the still hours of the night. This looks
somewhat suspicious. \\'e do not wish
t i bring charges against you. but we
have decided that you need watching.
There are one or two oflicers of the law
connected with the lodge. they have
failed in performing that r rty. we have
decided to assist them. Brother Past
Grand Smith. for the energy and lt‘l you
have shown. for the money and time
you have given. and for the interest you
have taken in the welfare of Butler
Lodge. to make a success with our
new paraphernalia :to vou.brother Smith.
we. the members of Butler Lodge. feel
grateful. and we feel at this time that we
cannot show a better appreciation of vou
and the services you have rcndereddhan
by presenting you with this gold watch
asasligluoken of the regard and es-
teem in which yotr are held by this lodge.
“'e trust you will accept the same in
the spirit in which it is presentisl.
Mr. Smith was completely surprised.
and on taking the watch said. “I have
not done anything but what Iconsidcred

Lodge am an Olld Fellow: in fact only
what I have tried to do in all organize

me with such a gift is more than I can
