Happenings Within the Wicket, But
without the Pale of the Secret
Rites.

The Minnesota grand lodge, Knights
of Pythias, will meet in Minneapolis
Tuesday, and, although there is, per-
haps, less business of special import
ance than usual, the Sir knights will
find an abundance of work to occupy
their attention during the two days
session. For the first time in the his
tory of the order in this state, the
grand chancellor has been paid sal
airy which enabled him to devote his
time to the work of the order and the
result has been eminently satisfactory
to the members, apparently. At any
rate, whether it was due to this ar
rangement or not, the order has had
an exceptionally good year. All the
lodges in the domain of Minnesota are
growing and fiourishing at a great
rate. There is not a delinquent lodge
in the state, and a large number of
new lodges have been instituted, all Of
them with a good membership.
