County Superin tendent Bruner is to day one of the happi est nnd proudest men in Omaha. Last week Mr. Bruner cel ebrated the forty , eighth anniversary of his birth , and St. John's lodge of Free masons , to which ho belongs , gave him a great surprise. It came in the shape of a past master's jewel , studded with diamonds , richly carved and appropriately engraved. II. W. Koysor made the presentation speech as follows : Worshipful Master : I desire to say a few words touching a matter that lies close to the hearts of us all. In doing so I shall ad dress myself directly to a member of this lodge , who is well known in every Masonic home aud mystic circle in our growing city. He is a pillar in our fraternity in the stale of Nebraska ; a pillar that unites In itself nil the excellencies and harmonies of the orders of nrchitcclurc which he often oloquenlly de scribes in our middle chamber work ; for he is cleric m the strength nnd ability with which ho labors among us ; Ionic , in the gracefulness nnd case of the performance of his duties , and Corinthian , in the beauty of his devotion lo Masonry and in his exempli fication of his many virtues. Brother J. B. Bruner , I refer to you. If wo are correctly informed , you will soon cele- brale Ibe forty-eighth anniversary of your birth. For the earnest , fnilhful man a birth day is a pnrion for pleasant retrospection and personal Joy ; for his friends , it is an occa sion for congratulations and expressions of respect. You have had many such many an niversaries , and many of them hnvo found you an actlvo mason and an ardent member of our beloved lodge. For four years you presided over it with the punctuality , pre cision and dignity of the true worshipful master. You arc now serving In a minor of fice in iho same spirit and with the name satisfaction to your lodge. As entered ap prentices wo have had your aid and cncour- ngcmeut ; as fellow-crafts wo hnvu re ceived your counsel nnd admonitions ; nnd as master masons wo have enjoyed your friendship and brotherly love. It is , there fore , but natural that wo should seek a chan nel through which lo express our grallludo and to tender our best wishes on this happy anniversary. And'this wo now do in a way that we trust wo can never forget and that yon will always remember with Kindness. Hero in open lodge , nt. the conclusion of our labor in one of the noblest of tasks , the rais ing of a master mason , I have the pleasure of adorning you with this handsome badge. It comes to you from the friendly hands and warm hearts of 'your brothers in St. John's lodge , not simply as-a reward for your as sistance nnd service * , but rather us an en during manifestation of their esteem , and of theiu appreciation of your devotion to , thc principles of their order. Wear it , my brother , on all filling occasions , for nqthlng more becomes a man than the tokens , of the nprobation of those who know him. Wear it , my brother , for our sake ; and Uilsj'ou can do. I assure yoj , with the proud cousplousncss that no man on earth wears n bdflgVmoro honorable , or inoro significant , than this radiant jewel. It is masonic In its form and almost divine in its expression of brotherly love. Wo will Join in tendering our hearty congratulations , trusting that the ( Joil of all true masons will bless you uud grant you many a year for the enjoyment of your order , and of the fruits of a full masonic life. * i > modern Woodmen. There was a regular meeting Wednesday night which developed features of unusual interest to the members. A . 'number of the sturdy wioldcra of the fraternal and social axe spoke of methods calcu lated to clear away the jungle of Ignorance , superstition and prejudice that has grown up around the natural fratorn al and social impulse of man. Doubtless the utterances gave Impetus of weight to the labors of the order. Messrs. Lydick and Bacbman and a visitor from ICcarna.v rji appropriate selections that were well re ceived. At the conclusion of the session n eom- paiiy of liluftltcs appeared , and Grand Pasha Jim Keith , of Council Bluffs , took the chair and instituted a rank of the Priuco of the Orient. Neighbor Cole took a degree with enjoyment that was only surpassed by the sense of the humorous situation developed nmong the assembled princes. The following is n list of the oflk-ers of the now lodge ; .1.11. McCoy , grand padisher ; II. W. Spoerri , grand pasha ; Dr. L. A. Mcr- riam , grand vi/.icr ; J. T , Yates , grand prophet ; G. T.

The loncrcst story shaped by lips left something - thing still untold A bigger measure than it gives Life's silent side doth hold ; Disjointed actions men may take and call it life entire When writing a biography 'tis all that wo require ; For that ono does not live who could man's inner life declare , Nor over lived that one who would his qtiiv- 'riiig heart lay bare ! We cannot count our own Life's pulse , much less our brothers' then , Nor see the heart's true blood course 'ueuth Hie outward sccming's vein ! Wo cannot sea inside man's actions only form n wall About his inner life ; 'tis when his word best covers all Than silence could , that he allows his tremb ling lips to speak Ho laughs to hide from us the fact that 'nuath his heart doth break ! Vol shall wo say each laugh we hear some secret tear enfolds I No ; this but shows the self same act such different meaning Jiolds ! A sigh speaks not ill way of Life's sorrow or Hopo'H defeat , And tears are words which tell the tale of joy or grief complete.
