Illinois X OPS

CHICAGO, May 1S.-The action of
the State assembly of the officers of
the uniform rank, Knights of
Pythias, in session here today will
be watched with eager interest by
members of the order throughout
the country. The Illinois knights
are not inclined to abide by the de-
eision of the Supreme Lodge chang
ing the biennial session of the Su-
preme Lodge from Minneapolis,
where it was located by the Grand
Lodge session Of 1894, to Cleveland,
because the railroads would not
grant a reduced rate OF one cent q
mile. Illinois being half way be-
tween the two cities, some of the
members favored Minneapolis and
some Cleveland, while others are
stOutly advocating leaving both
places alone and holding an encamp-
ment in this State.

A Prize Tombstone.

At a recent pigeon shoot of the Lin
coin Gun club at Alameda Point $50
tombstone was the thirteenth prize.
The conditions under which it was Civ
en- were that it should go to any man
who killed 10 straight and then missed
the remaining two. If no one made
that score, it should go to the thirteenth
man.
Nobody seemed to want the tomb
stone. Len Owens broke IL straight
and then deliberately missed the thir-
tenth so as not TO win it.
81 am not superstitious, said he,
"but believe in signs.
81 am not either" declared Harlow
White, but I'll bet a hat something
happens to the man who wins it "
"They can't run fast enough to give
It to me-" declared Merton Allen.
Colonel Sheldon l. Kellogg made IL
straight and said he was not afraid Of
winning the tombstone, for he intended
to make a clean score. He killed his
thirteenth blue rock, and, despite his best
efforts, he missed two easy ones. The
tombstone is his now, and all it lacks
is his name and age. San Francisco
