rrN IN TILE FLOOD.

The Wayfarer hears OF two amusing in
cidonts I'm connection with the flood at
Elkton on a certain farm which had a
pasture field that bordored on the Little
Elk river, and IN which the cattle and
horses were IN the path 0f the rushing
flood. the farmer. seeing the danger of his
stock. sent a colorcd man to drive them up
on higher land and thus save them from
drowning. The man did the best he could
to get tho stock TO a safe place. but he NOT
only failed in that particular, hut got into
the rushing waters himself The farmer,
seeing tho poor fellow 1oundcring around
i'm the water. and I'm danger Of drowning,
threw him a line with loop In ii to put
around his body so that ne could be drawn
ashore The colored man was so fright
ened that he put the slip-noose around his
neck instead Of his body, and the force OF
the current tightened the slp-noOse and
the farmer had to haul him In or see him
chOked and drowned, too. So he pulled the
unfortunate man IN by the neck. He saved
his life, but ne was nearly unconscious
when pulled on shore. When asked by his
employer why ho put the rope around his
neck instead Of putting IL around his
body he said:
Boss, 1 was sraid dat my head wud
eit under de water q 1 didn't put de rope
round my naik.'
The othor case was also about a man Of
color. He saw chickens, pigs. turkeys and
an kinds Of beasts and fowl struggling for
lie in the rushing water lie saw a large
turkey being swept along close to the
shore Rushing into the water he rescued
the bird and, taking II home, said to his
wife.
"Liza,l dun gone am got my mex Chris
mus dinner outen dat ribberan rsgwine
ter ies fatton das turkey tin he's jes' as
fat as buttah. an den won't we jos more'n
cut turkey mex Chriemus when desc low

just then Uncle JeHs picture OF roast
turkey faded away for a little girl from
the farm above came to the door and said:
''Uncle Jen. papa sent me after our tur-
key that Brother Bill saw you pull out OF
the river"
UncloJ JEFF was too fun ofdisappointmont
to say a word. but he just picked up the
wot turkey handed Il to the farmers
daughter, walked into the house and sat
down. Aunt Liza has never mentioned
turkey TO Uncle Jen since then, and he has
shown a decided dlsinclination to discuss
the question of what they are TO have for
dinner next Christmas

NEW LODGE, X. OF p.
organization to he Named 4,
Founder of the Order

Washington will soon have another
knights of Pythias lodge. That is the gen.
eral expectation at the present time and
from indications this expectation will not be
disappointment. Grand Chancellor John
c. Yost recently received a request from a
number of prominent business men of the
city to institute lodge. The new organi-
zation is to be known as Justus H. Rath-
bone Lodge. No. 29. 1t is to be named for
the founder of the order.
The lodge will meet in Elks' Hall, just one
square from the spot where the order was
foun0ed. The name of Rathbone is known
to every member of the order Therefore
its significance as applied to a lodge in this
city Will be appreciated by all. The officers
OF the new lodge will be as follows: A. b.
Glascock, c. c.; VIM. Gettinger V. c.; Will
bur Frank, X. Of r. and S.; d. N Hoover,
~ F.; J. NJ. Williams. NJ. E.; NJ. L. Collard
NJ. A; l.. II. Troutman, NJ. W.; A. p Schell
l. G., and Chas. Kegwin, o. G.
The lodge is composed of the following
members: DR.. Oscar II. Coumbe Frank C.

February 10 of this year the order OF
Knights of Pythias passed another mile
stone in it's history. and that date 1t cele-
hrated its thirty fourth birthday In its
brief existence, it is claimed the order of
Knights of Pythias has made wonderful
progress. February 10, 1851 five men as
sembled in the old Temperance Hall on Il
street and considered the advisa bility of
forming secret order. They had no idea
what immense results were to accrue from
their deliberations that night 1t was their
idea simply to organize and form society
which would benefit themselves and those
landed with them, morally and socially
and inculcate a sense of love and reverence
for everything good. At that time they had
no idea that the order would reach the i'm
mense proportions it has today.
1t was not long after the organization of
the first lodge that another was formed.
Application was received shortly afterward
from q number of individuals asking per-
mission to join the order and organize sep
arately.
Maryland and Virginia were quick to fol-
low the example of the District and began
to institute lodges. Other states followed
suit, and from a nucleus Of an organization
OF five people. the order quickly increased
iEto an immense fraternity.
