A FAITHFUL PIGEON.
Baby's Life Saved by a Bird That
Seemed to Understand the Inn
pOrtance of Its Errand.

An incident occurred recently IN the
family of G. F. Marsh, member of
the Pacific Coast Pigeon society, which
proved to him in most impressive
manner the valuable services which
may sometimes be rendered by the
carrier pigion, and probably explains
some of his enthusiasm in that direc-
ton. His little baby boy was taken
seriously sick with most alarming
symptoms of diphtheria. The mother,
watching by the bedside of the little
one, dispatched a message tied on
a carrier pigeon to her husband at
his store in Market street. In the
message she wrote the nature of the
child's. alarming illness and made an
urgent appeal for medicine to save his
life. The bird was started from the
home of the family, near the Cliff
house, five miles from Mr.. Marsh's
Market street store. -,...
The bird flew swiftly to the store.
where Mr.. Marsh received it. He read
the message, called doctor, ex-
planned the child's symptoms as his
wife had detailed them in her mes
sage and received the proper. medi-
cine. Then, tying the little vial con-
tanning the medicine to the tail of the
pigeon, he let it 60. The pigeon sped
away through the air straight for the
cliff. It made the distance, five miles,
in ten minutes; distance which
would have required the doctor three
quarters Of an hour to cover. In 20
minutes from the time the mothers
message was sent to her husband the
baby was taking the medicine. Nat
urally enough Mr.. Marsh is partial to
pigeons, for he considers that he owes
his baby's life to one; &

so cut that the ugly curve at the

Book Clubs for Small Town.

A writer in the Ladies' Home Jour-
nal, telling how to organize book
clubs in small communities, says that
one successful club was started in q
small country town of from 1000 to
1,500 inhabitants. in which there was
no public library of any kind. Its
charter members numbered II. Each
member, except one. who was chosen
secretary and gave service instead of
money, paid into the general treasury
five dollars year. With the sum so
raised the club was able to subscribe
for II periodicals., weeklies and
monthlies. and to buy. from II to 81
books chosen in general from among
the new publications. 7.

Thursday night, Nov. 18th. They

ing lodges had been invited to par
ticipate. Woodviile, Jackson and
Baton Rouge lodges responded, bnt
owing TO the illness unto death of a
prominent citizen of that place.
Woodville was obliged to forego its
plans at the eleventh hour. Large
representations from the other lodges
duly arrived however, Donaldson
vile being also represented by Hon.

Of the occasion. "Of the secrets

the denizens Of the neighborhood

even "outside barbarians" may
guess that the Pythians had IL
royal time, the best since Damon
and Pythias had their renowned
affair. There were eighteen victims,
and "Lhey say' that there was a
new and rich feature introduced into

sioA Of this part of tie programme,
the lodge, numbering siXty.fyc
strong, with their guests, who COM
prised about fifty more, adjourned
to the hall on the first floor where
an inviting supper wasiaid. Chancel-
lor Commander, Judge Jos. L. Col

assisted by DIR. A. F. Barrow, drew
out the latent wit and merriment of
the company. The first speaker
was L. E. Bentley, WHO surpassed
himself in his scintillations of wit
and humor, which "Get the table in

from, all Of whom contributed to
the pleasures Of tie banquet. 1t was
two i'll tie morning, before final
adjournment was made, and the
celebration of 1900 became a thing
