Catholic Order of Foresters Celebrate With Eats and Oratory.

•The Catholic Order of Foresters has been busy lately and one evening last week they Initiated a class of nineteen new members. The occasion was celebrated Sunday evening, at the Forester’s hall over tbe parochial school, by a banquet. The Lady Foresters gave the supper to the real workers in the forest and it proved an extremely pleasant event. One hundred and fifty covers were laid and the supper was a very fine one. The forester’s band furnished music and there was also piano and vocal music. Attorney E P. Honan was, toastmaster and the chief address of the evening was made by Father Daniels. George Kusmal of Hammond, a state trustee of the order, was here and also made a pleasing speech. Mrs. Emma Lane Messman read a paper she had prepared on “Tbe Best Type of Men,” and it was regarded very fine by all present. Alonzo Healy, Joe Truly, Arnold Luers, Joe Nagel, Jim Walters, Frank Putts and Conrad Kellner all spoke, most of them extemporaneously, and Edwin Robinson, who was recently initiated into the secrets of forestry, read an interesting paper on “The Junior Catholic Foresters.” , r The Foresters are thriving here as never before. ,
