Of tho soveral oloquent toasts of tho even ing that of Mr. O. E. Mogoon entitled "Tho Lincoln Iodgo" received greatest amount of applause, and wo nro permitted to print it ns followst "Ono of tho singular stories of ancient my. thology was, that Jupiter took to himself a HKmse, and finding soon afterwards that she wai with child nnd fearing that tlio child, If a son, would wrest his power from him, Inju diciously swallowed his wlfo and tho unborn Imlio. As tho time of birth drow near Jupi ter felt great pain In his head and ordered ono of his servitor to split his head open with his battlo nxn; whorcuixm Mlnorva sprang fourth from tlio brain, clad In full ar mour. I am reminded of this fublo by tho organluitton of tho Lincoln lodge. It dntus its origin from this banquet boanl that has witnessed feats of swallow lug quite as ro markablo In their way as that of tho old Greek God. It springs Into existence, wltn tho stature of a mat), anil armed cap-a-pio for tho strtiTxle of oxlstenco. Wo pride eursolvos that s-j lusty an Infant must devclopo Into magnificent manhood. With Its birth it in herits tho future, with nil Its aspirations and possibilities, with all Its repining mid disap pointments. Its object will bo to promoto tho comfort nnd well lielng of Its memliers, and to share thotr bunions and sorrows, to cultlvnto fraternity nnd good fellowship, to arrest illwlll nnd malcontentlon, to stand lie sldo our brothers In Hfo and by his tomb nt death, to imrvuo together tho Journey of life until wo reach tho littlo wnysldo Inn where nil must sleep and whore tho only salutation is 'good night.' To tho Omaha lodge as nn organization nnd to tho members as Individuals, as n bride, wo plodgo you our troth; you nro our sponsors, your pledges wo will redeem, and as tlmo goes on and kindly consideration ripens into enduring friendship, I trust wo niny often meet to drink long draught from n loving cup nnd Join in singing: 'And here's n hand, my trusty friend, And glo's a hand o'thlno, And wo'U tnk a right guid wllllo-wnught For Auld Lang Syno.'
