The presentation speech of the

Worthy Matron, of rhe Alaska Chap- j
t. i No. 1, Order of the Eastern Star ;
was made by Brother S V. Carman. '
which was responded to by Mrs. j
Grimm with well-chosen words.
B’-other Carman’s speech Is publish- j
ed below by request, and is as fol- |
lows:
• Robert Ingersoll once described
life as ‘a narrow vale between the
cold and barren peaks of two eter
nities. We strive in vain to look be
yond the heights, we cry aloud and
the only answer is the echo of our
tonight impressed with the thought
that an existence such as he describe
ed must lx* totally devoid of all
pi* asure and happiness, and I doubt
If any here assembled could bring
themselves to look on life from In
gersoil's u-nattractive viewpoint.
“To a majority of us. life is a
bread, fertile valley, which continu
ally widens, from our earliest in
ft icy. to the time when tho last
great dreamless sleep shall kiss
down our eyelids forever. Though
ow> of various depths about us. and
tli-ueh our pathway may sometimes
h- darkened because the star of our
happiness has been temporarily ob
g< i:red. still will the gloom of our
desolation always be- somewhat less
ened by the torches of true friend
ship, when in our darkest hours.
“When the grim reaper shall final
ly sever the silver chord of life and
these frail tenements of clay shall
tMve passed into silence and pathet
ic dust, then will our friends, by the
profusion and fragrance of their
floral offerings, silently voice their
love for us.
“Rut. Worthy Matron, how una
vailing then will be all such ex
pressions of friendship. Is it not
fat better while one is yet in love
with life, and enraptured with the
world, to give her some evidence of
the esteem in which she is held?
This is the belief ot the individual
members of this Chapter, who have
signally honored me by asking me
♦ o present to you this jewel. This
g ft. Past Worthy Matron, is not
made in recognition of your zeal and
untiring efforts in this Chapter, but
rather do we wish you to accept It
as a token of friendship, which is
deep as hell, and as high as heaven,
as broad as the East is from the
West, as constant as a mother’s love
at:« as enduring as the rock-ribbed
mountains which rear their snow
crrwned summits into the ethereal
blue of Heaven; a friendship which
no words of mine can measure, even
were I possessed with the logical el
e'oquence of a Webster or a Beecher,
or of the more ornate and polished
rh< toric of a Depew or a Choate, or
were my soul fired with the poetic
imagry of a Byron, yet would lang
uage fail me utterly in which to ade
quately describe this friendship, this
evidence of work well done and so
fittingly and worthily bestowed.
“May you live long to w*ear it.*’

n.eeting called last Tuesday by Mr.
Rynning. The various prospects for
teams were discussed and It was de
cided that due to the increased en
rollment this year, it will he possi
ble to form three teams. Mr. Ryn
ning. with the assistance of several
of the old players, was able to di
vide the hoys into three teams,
equalizing the weights and relative
playing abilities until the teams, as
they appear now, are very evenly
matched. The following Is the list
of the players chosen and their re
spective teams:
No. 1—Jack Hamlyn. Curtis
Crooks. Andrew Sather. Robert
Lyle. Ole Barr and Roy Thornes.
No. 2—Alvin Bahlke. Emerson

the teams into shape, and the sched
ule will open the first of next month.
The series will continue over a per
iod of nine weeks, each team play !
ir.| the other two several games,
and the team having the highest per
centage of victories will be declared
the winner.
Next week will mark the ending of
the first half of the school year and
the final examinations are to be giv
en. This year examinations are be
ing given in three groups in each
course bo as to allow the students to

Dan rapid appeared daringly in
Nome, regardless «»f the cold wind
which was blowing from the north
this week and sent one of his un
erring darts straight for the hearts
'*f Mr. Charles R. Fernando and Miss
Katherine M. Bruner, and from all
appearances the dart pinned the two.
The happy young couple were join

newly-weds in company with the
bride’s father. Mr. P. Bruner and
young sister Bessie Bruner, repaired
to the home of Mr. and Mrs. R. C.
McDowell where a wedding dinner
awaited their arrival.
There is a humorous side to every
thing. we are told, and from reports
there is one attached to the wedd
ing of the above young people. It
is said that an attempt to keep the
event a secret was made by the con
tracting parties and those participat
ing in the ceremony, plans were
made, and some thought it would be
a very easy matter to keep, but all
these reckonings were made with
our taking into consideration the
part old man FATE- would play in
the matter. While onroute front
tnc Commissioner's Office the young
I ■-••degroom dropped the marriage
license, this was done no doubt
while Charles was attempting to
keep the cold front reaching hia
young bride, then the next place
where old man fate took a ha-nd was
when one of "Blackstone deciplea"
while running thru the flies at tho
Commissioner’s Office came upon the
duplicate of the original marriage
certificate which is always filed in
such instances. Of <;oorse the
youngsters upon hearing the belated
news were not slow In getting Into
action and collecting their, just dues
from the bride, during the husband’s
absence. _ while at his other duties.

Bookeeper for the- Hammon Con
