As the play Of "Damon and Pythias'
IL 10 be rendered 10y the Browne theatre
cal company on the 18th Of tins month
at the Armory Opera Houghton, under
the auspices OF Columbia Lodge, No. IA,
X. OF r., it may be interesting 10 some ol
our readers to state the order of the
Knights OF Pythis was originated and
the ritual written by j. III. Rathbone at
Eagle Harbor, Mich, in 1850. MIR.
Rathbone was horn in Oscida, n. Y, on
October 20, 1899. He came 10 Lake
Superior in 1857 and taught school. at
Eagle Harbor and Eagle River and was
assistant clerk at the Central mine. He
became SO impressed with the beautiful
story OF Damon and Pythias that he was
prompted To write the ritual, and so the
order had it's origin on Lake Superior,
and therefore may be so appreciated 10y
the residents OF this county that they
would have desire to go and zee the
play. When the war broke out Mr..
Rathbone aided in getting up a company
in which he enlisted and went with the
bows to fight for the Union. In 1868 he
became engaged az clerk in the medical
war department at Washington, ID. c.,
aud on February II. 1864. he, with a
few other gentlemen, organized the order
OF the Knights OF Pythias and it is now
one of the most prosperous beneficial and
fraternal societies in the United States.
Ii was organized by an American and is
thoroughly American in all it's principles.
Mr.. Rathbone was well known TO many
OF the old residents now living, among
some OF whom are Messrs. William and
Mat Van Orden, John Senter, James
Pryor, Johnson Vivian, T.. II. Pcnberthy
and ex-Sheriif Fred Bawden; the latter
was scholar OF Mr.. Rathbone's when
he taught school at Eagle Harbor.
As the story OF Damon and Pythias is
familiar to most Of our readers, we will |
not go into any detail in describing it,
but suffice it to say that, knowing as
they do the magnitude to which the order |
has grown in America, it certainly mnst |
be very popular and it will be rare OPP |
portunity for every person to see for |
fully demonstrated in the |
play, the principles and foundations on
which the great orderof the knights Of |
Pythias was founded. You will under
stand, this play is no farce or burlesaue.
but shows in reality the principles on
which the order was founded,
There will be special trains running be-
,ween Calumet, Lake Linden and Hough-
ION for the accommodation OF all those
desiring to come and see the play. All
he Knights OF Pythias and their friends
ire cordially invited.

That was just what the employer didn't
want to do. He is not hard taskmaster,
but he had an order that had to be filled
with all possible speed and did not want
the weather TO interfere with 1t. he
heard more or less of the talk OF his help
and came to the conclusion that he would
be waited on with request that the shop
be shut down for the remainder OF the
day. He accordingly made preparations
to meet the emergency. These prepara-
tions were based on the theory that
imagination plays a considerable part in
matters OF temperature. He believed that
II he could show his help that the ther-
mometer Indicated only "a or 75 instead OF
81 or 30 degrees they would be willing to

The suggestion that the gold Democrats
name Bragg and Buckner as their can
didate for President and vice-president
has led the revival of story that had
wide circulation during aud Immediately
after the war. 1t seems that private of
Bragg's command had gone out OF camp
q little way to take refreshing swim in
= stream which ran rather deep under an
old bridge. He stripped completely in
the secluslon OF the corpse, plunged into
the water, and was having right good
time In mid-stream, when suddenly he
heard the ominous click of rifles, and,
gIanSing up, was astounded to see about
16"Johnnyrebs" standing on the bridge,
every blessed rife In the group presented
ut his head. Sixteen to one was no joke,
particularly in these circumstances, ana
before he could say anything one OF the
confederates called out:
''Come in, you BANKED Yank, out Of
the wet"
1t was q case OF unconditional sur
renoer. SO the "Yank" swan in and
clambered out, only to find that the rebels
had possessed themselves OF his clothes,
and there was nothing for II but to walk
up to the bridge and give himself up In
puris naturalibua AS he did so, the
group Of boys in gray faced ABOUT
toward him sno pres ented arms.
"Now," ssid the spokesman, "you
surround us and take us into your camp.

and we're going to fight with Bragg"

He had a therm ometer in his room,
likewise ice water. The water he put in
a basin and then soaked a towel in it.
This be hung over the Thermometer. On
removing the towel few minutes later
he waseFratified to find that the ther-
mcmeter had responded nobly to his
efforts, and from kiting up toward the
century mark was down in the seventies.
That was what he wanted, and all he had
to do was to have that towel well soaked
with ice water at the proper moment. 1t
was not dfficult to DO this and he did 1t.
Presently ne received the expected call
from the foreman CT the shop, who told
him the help would like to be relieved
from doing more work that day on ac-
count OF the heat. "The heat?" queried
the employer with well assumed air Of
amazement; "why, IL isn't hot at all
today. Yesterday was scorcher, true
enough, but 1t is comfortable, very
comfortable, today" The foreman said
It wasn't SO cool as the employer seemed
to think, and ventured the prediction
that II there was a thermometer in the
place II would show record up in the
nineties. That was just what the en-
ployer had been waiting for, Walking
over to the wall he took down the ther-
mometer and held it up TO the foreman.
"What does that say?" he asked. The
foreman looked hard and then replied
slowly. "Seventy-two. Well, / would
have sworn that it was s2 at least" The
foreman went back and reported to the
workers. There was no further talk that
day Of shutting down on account Of the
heat.
