It. Hrlckell. After an elaborate banquet had re ceived full Justice. Excellent High Priest H. H. Parker took up his duties js toaatmaster and began his speech by giving figures showing the growth and prosperity of the chapter. He con-' gratulatcti those present upon their connection with the chapter and with the Masonic fraternity generally. "It is ny belief," he proceeded, "that in some form as it now exists, or as mod ified by the changing ideas and ways of mankind. Masonry will probably en dure as long as men inhabit the earth. I urge you to hand down Its traditions to the last Mason, of whom we kjiow no more than we do of the first Mason, unsolved by time. So that It will still be then as it is now, the Ancient and Honorable Fraternity of Free and Ac cepted Masons. I thank the officers and members of the chapter for the loyal support and assistance they have given me during the past year of my Incumbency as your presiding officer, and assure you of the affectionate re membrance in which you. will always be held by mo." It appeared from the figures given by Mr. Parker that during the past year Washington Chapter has received 4" Ietitions for the chapter degrees, and that after payment of all operating ni other expenses, including the ban quet, that the chapter will still have over JltlUr- la its treasury, applicable upon its proportion of the cost of the new East Bide Washington Masonic building. "Two speakers whom we confidently expected to be present with us tonight find at the last moment that they have other engagements." went on Toastmas tar Parker. "I refer to Companion Har vey W. Scott and Governor George E. Chamberlain. Mr. Scott found that he had to attend a business meeting in New York, and Governor Chamberlain that he was expected to be present at thj a-esslons of the Rivers and Harbors Con gress at Washington, D.

It Is aouutiui vrhuther there are ajiy new opinions, home times a person conceives a thought and rives sententious expression to It. very much to hi own approval and contentment only to And out that the idea has been expressed with more neatness and force in some old proverb that he can't remember ever to have h-ard. It is only, in Ion and sober treatises that me are permitted to go very far back for themes, or illustration, t remember the story of a dinner where the company fell into very grave discourse on certain prob lems of antiquity, and tha conversation grew heavy, till one of the company said he would ugcest something more immediate and more animated to talk about. There was a professor of muc'h learning present. anJ ha took the remark as a sort of reflection on his conversation.- "Pray, my friend, said he to the person who had- interrupted him, "can you tell me what kind of soup this Is?" "It la" oxtail." was the reply. "Oxtail? H'm! Now. Iftti't that going pretty far back for the soup ?"

Antiquarians assure us that la tal s and maxims 6000 years old we st not only tl;e common stock of primary Instincts, but also the flnes of conduct In put 11c life, the moW-s of insuring respect in dealing with superiors and inferior, the attention to very varied elements of character; and on the one hand a fine suavity, on the other bitter sarcasm and gall, pervading the v hole. The very dis tinguished Italian historian. Ferrero, now In Armrica. in his wonderful book on "The teatness and Decline -f Rome." that dur ing the past year has been the talk of the world, has let us fully into the secrets of tha politios of 20 to -5 centuries ago. He enable! ua to see. by comiarisnnB with ur own. that the methods of politicians htnre not changed from that day to this. Human society. Indeed, changes only in some of Its minor aspects and accidents. The mov ing forces are always the same, because human nature Is always the same. The motllflcatlcns are small; they belong mere ly to changing external conditions. Custo mary law has almost universal rule, and It rulee with a potency superior to that of he whole body of our statutes, and of our written constitutions thrown In; for statutes and constitutions never ran be more than weak expression of what lies in the background of the human spirit that ha made them. Social customs, religious customs too. and the various ceremonies observed by all the various orders or branches of Masonry, ret on simiiar sanctions. Prom the dawn of history the nature of mind Is unchanged. Its motives, feelings and aense of life. Only In knowledge and tha application of It do we differ from the earliest civilizations we can trare. And far away, beyond and be hind tlvm. there must have been experience and growth and culture. Such a prodigy as the Homeric Poems, the earliest monu ment of the completest literature the world has ever seen, never sprang up without an tecedents. An Immense life and experience existed long before thy could have ap peared. Habits, as well aa customs, are as en during as stone, and many old ones sur vive among us. curiously obtruding the past Into the present. As lime rolls over them, some of their more acute angles are no doubt eaten off. but there are hard and tuugh projections which reat&t the tooth of time, and remain to reveal something of their earlier forms. We are not yet clear of the ancient mythologies and of many of the be 1 iff a. even the habits, belonging to them. One may doubt whether we ever shall le. But I wtop. When I began this letter I bad no Idea of setting down, what is here written.

With kindest regards, and thanking you for your kindness to me. I am. Your very stncereTr. GEO. E. "CHAMBERLAIN. E. G. Jones on Symbolic Teachings. "The River Route" was responded to by D. A. Grout, who spoke of human life as a little rivulet broadening, 1n alle etory, to the sea of opportunity and open Ins to the comedy and trag-edy of life. One areat lesson, he thouf-ht, was that space is nothing- to spirit, because the essence of life Is divine. "The Symbolic Teachings of Masonry," by E. G. Jones, came next and he began by giving an Interesting historical sketch of Ma sonry and observed that in keeping with the traditions and alms of the irreatest fraternal order extant, that the kevnote of any address at a Ma sonic function must necessarily be serious. "Masonry attaches so little Importance to the judgment of the world at large regarding a man's mer its that it Is one of the tenets of the Masonic faith that In the sanctum of the lodge room no recognition Is given to worldly honors or worldly distinc tions," proceeded Mr. Jones. "In the lodge mom we all meet upon the level, and the one requirement that . ttie teachings of Masonry imposes Is that we shall be good men and trues and that .we shall maintain the relations with our brother Mason and with our fellow man, which our many obliga tions have bound us. to keep. "The natural longings of the human mind for Indulgences that must In evitably be followed by bqth physical and mental degeneration are inherunt b nature, and these pr.'mal instincts common to the uncivilized and civil ized man alike are kept in check only as the result of supreme will control. We learn all the real lessons of life in the hard school of experience. "The passions of men. so far as the results of these unbridled passions en croach on the rights of their fellow men, may be controlled in a measure by statutory enactments of our gov ernment bodies. But these passions as they affect a man's moral and spir itual welfare are kept In subjection by the promptings of the individual will alone. No man is his brother's keeper and no code of morals will de ter a man from following the bent of his own longings until he has first learned in the sad school of experi ence that a man's character is what he alone has the power to make It. Jt Is here that the symbolic teachings of Masonry have played such a prominent part In the upbuilding of the char acter of Its tenets. Man's character is rounded by age. While his physical and mental powers wane on the ap proach to the gTave, he grows in moral stature until he is rendy to pass the portals of death, and It Is here only that the temple is erected, 'that house not made with Sands, eternal In the heavens.' " Companion L." G. Clarke, a 33d-degree Mason, on being called on for a speech not mentioned on the programme, told an amusing newspaper story on the meaning of truth and then briefly re ferred to the value of good, old-fashioned Masonry. Companion H. B. Adams spoke briefly on "The Harvest Festival." with refer ence to the social features of the ban quet, because the latter is the annual holiday of the craft. "The Invitation I .received to speak here tonight stated that I was exp3cted to deliver a model address." complained Companion J. H. Ackermau. "I find this accepted definition of the word referred to: 'Model. A small imitation of the real thing?" (Laughter.) Mr. Ackerman then gave a crisp speech on the value of real, personal companionship. "The 8pirlt of Masonry," responded ,to by Companion Norris R. Cox, gave him an opportunity to tell several amusing stories, after which he said: "Out of the misty past are transmitted to us the ever living principles of the fatherhood of God, the brotherhood of man and tha hope of immortality, so forcibly taught In the tragedy of the widow' son of the tribe of Napthall. Accepting this in the spirit of Masonry, it becomes our duty to answer in the affirmative, by our actions and especially by our lives, the question coming le us down the ages: Am I my brotlier's keeper T " In responding to the toSEt "Masdnry'e Priesthood," Judpe Charles E. Worverton also made historical reference to both ancient and modern Masonry, discussing it in both Its operative and speculative phases. He recalled that before the days of Moses many members of the Egyptian priesthood belonged to a high ordr of Masonry and left their impress ori the architecture of their "day. The relation of Masonry to religion was next touched upon, also the educational influence of the order in supporting libraries in the work of enlightening the people. In closing. Judge Wolverton spoke of Masonry as a moral uplift In learning the wordly tendencies of the times. A pleasant side-trip from the serious oratory of tha occasion came when Com panion Manchester recited several amus ing anecdotes, the best of which was a parodv on the poem "Excelsior," and when" "Judge" S. Bullock sang "The Shanghai Rooster." DAVENPORTEDITOR DIES Death Claims James Odgers, Weil ' Known in Eastern Washington. . DAVENPORT. Wash., Dec 5. (Spe cial.)
