and Galveston third with 40, At the or
ganization Of the order II took as its anti
type OF friendship aud mutual confidence
the historical incident OF the unexcelled,
and almost unequalled, friendship
existing between Damon and Pythias, who

nearly 400 years before the birth of Christ;
wherein Pythias pledged his life that Da-
mon should not forfeit his honor and gave
himself asa pldge that Damon would re-
turn for execution at the time appointed by
the king. The order has beautiful

and characters. This order has, in fact
been deemed by gentlemen OF the cloth rs
