(Continued from Page 1, Col. 5.) was heart-rending, 'cause its er cinch when them symbol blowers an' horn pluggers can't see ther gol durn music, or cat jumpin' 'round on er dish pan sounds jest 'bout as good. If every one in Towsontown didn't have ther chills an' fever, by heck, they got it before ther trombone articulator pumped ther water out o" his piece er brass, an' ther funniest thing was that in ther darkness an' 'citement ther bull dog at ther engine house jumped plum through ther base drum, an' "Unk" Marley accidently sot ther kettle drum unmed over his dome, an' while "Simp" Bayne was over in tner corner laffin', with his mouth wide open, some yap chucked er cud er wet terbaccer plum down his throat, an' there ain't no use ter say ther laffin' stopped sustani-mously. Ther situation is er perplexin' one, 'cause there ain't no band er gath-"erin' er horn blowers ersociated on ther face er ther earth what kin play good jazz when ther lights er out.
Caesar's Ghost! It ain't no use ar-guin* whether ther ground hog done seen his gol durn ol' shadder er not, but if yer Uncle Jake could git hold er Ol' Remus Bloomgibber, Gobbler's Knob's weather procrastinator, he'd chuck him inter Mary Ann's Creek an' make durn sure that he didn't come ter ther surface agin. Ter say Ol' Remus is er liar, is puttin' ther thing too durn mild, down at Ol' Rufus Doo-flicker's store Sunday, Remus had er sign hung out that there would be light easterly winds followed by night, then day an' 'stead we've had ther durndest toughest weather since Hiram was er duck. Ther snow's been so deep at Gobbler's Knob that transportation on ther Jerk-water what runs from Yap's Crossin' ter Mary Ann's sidin's been stuck in er snow drift fer er couple days with 8 passengers on board, an' until ther blizzard subsides an' ther Nemometer goes high ernough ter make workin' in ther cold at least reasonable, them 8 yaps '11 have ter be content with bein' fed by means er Ol' Jakobus Wilhelm's breetches bouy. Jakobus what was once er sea captain on er scow what hauled garbage up an' down Jones' Palls, rigged up er •vention what'll save ther lives er them 8 critters, unless they have ter stay there so long that Ol' Jakobus'lll git too durn feeble ter articulate ther con-trapshun. Ther 'vention is er durn unicue- 'fair an' from ther lamp post at F.queedunk road an' Blacksmith's lane. Ol' Jacobus kin carry er basket er vittles in bout er couple dozen seconds. Er rope was tied ter ther cross-arm er ther lamp post an' with ther aid o' er ol' shot gun with er stick down ther muzzle was shot ter ther marooned 8 in ther Jerk-water an' as ther lamp post is situated on Skeeter Hill an' ther car in ther ravine, with ther aid o* er ol' meat hook, fastened ter ther seat o' his pants Ol' Jakobus glides down in mid-air an' by ther aid er 'nother rope Peter Macgruder hauls him back with his "tin Lizzie." Durin' Thursday's snow Feter's 'shene got ter skidd in' an' in makin' ed twist er two ther tow rope broke an' Ol' Jakobus went down ther 'vention hell bent, an' there ain't er durn word been heerd o> him since. Tomorrow memorial services '11 be held at ther church.
bers, pointing out to the new members of the Lodge, those who have been admitted during the last few years, the debt of gratitude they owed to these truly Masonic Brethren for their initiative, resourcefulness and labors in bringing the Lodge to the state ol activity as at present and to the distinction it now enjoys. After outlining the parts taken in the past activities: of the Lodge by the Worshipful Masters of the years gone by, Mr. Gilbert turned his subject to more recent events and after carefully recounting the good work of the preceding year as performed by the previous Master, he in behalf of the Lodge, presented him with a Past Master's Jewel, to which remarks Mr. Stansfield feelingly responded.
After the ceremonies were concluded and the work of the Lodge finished, the Lodge was closed and refreshments were partaken of in the Banqueet Hall below. The feeling that permeated the air both in the Lodge Room and in the Banquet Hall was that Mr. Gilbert was the hero of the hour, and that with his presence and masterly oration, the "Sands of Time," for the time, at least, failed to run.
