The feature of the evening was the presentation by Past Exalted Ruler Pr. Henderson of a handsomely engraved solid gold life membership card to Rro- ther C, W. Tulton.

Doctor Henderson expressed the very evident aentlment of the members when he assured Senator Fulton of the warm personal regard, the high esteem and sincere friendship of his brother Elks for Mm, and voiced the hope that many future years of usefulness might be granted him. In response to the toast Penato Ful ton expressed his earnest gratitude for the many tokens of honor and esteem which he had received and it waa very apparent by the trend of his speech that he waa ' deeply touched by the abundant manifestations made In his honor. "He said In part: "I ahall not uttempt to deny that I appreciate moat highly the efforts you have made to assure mo of your friend ship and esteem and I am' unable to qxpreaa the feelings of gratitude which I entertain beeuue of the kindness and good will which you have shown to mo. I have no more pleasing recoiiec tlon t never hope to have than those which cover the period during which I have been a member of this lodge and associated with you. We know not the future, We know not where the road we are traveling will lead ua to. We all hope It leads onward and upward. Rut whatever my lot nty be my heart la always and will ever be with my brothers of lodge No. 180. I know that whatever may be my fortune, o my misfortune, I can always come home to you and find friends to apologize for my mistakes and to wish me well In my endeavors. I am .ure I do not merit the honor and dlstlnotlon you have given me. I am-sure that It la your kindness and generosity by which you have felt disponed and Jus tified to give, me this reception. But I have learned that one must not al ways stand upon hla merits. If he does may often get left. It la well to take the good thlnga of life aa they come, for there will be no lack of evil thlnga. ...... ,..,:'.,.,. "Among the good orders of the earth, no better, no greater, no more splendid order exists than the Elks. No order Is doing more good. The order of Elks la doing a splendid work throughout the country. This la due to the high and noble principles which It advocates No man can take its oath of member eh't and obey Us tcaculngs w lthtut be ing a let let cltiten, a nobl?r ninn and a more t'H'lul member of sm'lt'.y ever after, .1 congratulate myself irore than upon any other fact, upon my membership In It. "No more pleasing thought can come to a man when the sands of life are fast ebbing out and he hears the roar of the breakers on the other shore than to know that he is leaving behind him an honorable character and a stainless name. The older ; man ' grows the mor he realises the Importance of leaving In his life no bitter memory. The seven philosopher of old said that hope la the mt Important posaesslon of man because when he has nothing else left he stilt has hope. And yet even hope can be poisoned by evil. If there is anything we should strive to accomplish, It Is to leave In a'l our Uv ea No unpleasant memory. The en during monument to a man's life Is the one he builds himself, the pictures he palnta on tha canvas of time. Friends erect shafts of marble and statuea of bronxe. These are soon foraotten. But the monument of a true and upright life endures while time shall last. No monument could survive the memory of a Washington, a Gladstone, a Lin coin, a Uismark or a Nightingale. We cannot al be eua1 to them, but we can do the best we can. For. these ends our nobh order exists and to their at lainments it will give us help. "I have felt Intensely the kindness you have exhlbitedeince my return home, 1 have met so many friends. have been surprlsedat their number. Many of them 1 did sot know were my friends, I have felt thut mere honors do not count. That which la really gratifying and which gives real satis faction Is the true earnest friendship which makes rich beyond anything else I appreciate mote than anything I can tell you the honors you have shown me and I thank you from the bottom of my heart fur theae expression," s J .

Pcrhapsrthe most striking and pene- trutiug Incident waa the expression by Toaatmaster Polworth of the sentiment of his Wiihklakum constituency toward the senator. In an avalanche of elo quence which made the glasses leave the table he gave assurance of the gocd will so sincere, so profound and so perpctuut that It reached It perora tion In .'Jie hope that his service In congress might lost until he became one of the oldest Inhabitants and priv llegcd to expatiate on the weather Ths toast "Elks' wives and sweet hearts," waa gracefully responded to by Brother John E.

The doctor advises that this be done be-' or h Is operated upon, a he may not recover, t'nder these clrrum stance, In all human probability. ; H will be Impossible for me to be with you. I regret this exceeding ly, as I bad hoped to be permitted to have the pleasure of making the presentation to Brother Fulton on behalf of your lodge. I esteem him most highly, both a a personal friend and brother, and It would have been particularly gratifying to me, because of the fact that we were pitted against each other In the late campaign, and thla would have siren me an opportunity to show that no scar remained, after an exciting political contest. I val ue hi friendship, and esteem him as highly as though we had always been of the came political faith. Please explain my position to the brothers assembled and feel aa asured that nothing but such an emergency as I have mentioned could have Interfered to prevent my presence with you.

Henderson, former speaker of the national house of representa tives who la visiting his son here said: President Roosevelt will be nomlnat ed, In my opinion, by the next republi can national convention, and he will be elected by the American people In the same spirit of enthusiasm displayed when he made his famous charge up San Juan hill.

Bryan, speaking this morning to the toast "Democracy" at the banquet giv en by the democratic Jacksonian club and the newspaper men of Missouri complimentary to William J. Stone, bitterly arraigned Grover Cleveland and his supporters who are making the plea for harmony . among the demo crats.. Bryan said in part: ; "What we need in this nation is mor al courige mong men. We need moral courage more than ability, and we want the kind of moral courage that will light for honest democratic principles. "We have bad enough of Cleveland Ism In the democratic party. We had four years of Cleveland, and after his administration was over we found our selves weaker than we had even been before because we had been betrayed. Cleveland had the best opportunity to redeem the democratic party ever of fered to any man since the time of An drew Jackson, but Instead of being true to his party he disgraced it." " SILVER MARKET.
