K. r. Grand Lodge.

The 18th annual convention Of the
Knights of Pythias held in Lead last
week was one of the most harmonious
sessions ever held in the state. ALI the
delegates were in excellent humor
throughout the session, and not dis.
pute arose on any question.
An important amendment to the con-
stitution was adopted, which affects all
the subordinate lodges in the state. II
was the changing of the term OF Office oi
all officers in the subordinate lodges from
six months to one year. A few OF the
officers heretofore have been elected
annually, but the more important ones
were elected every six months. The
change of tenure to year was made on
the theory that it took an officer nearly
six months to become familiar with the
ritual, and to make change as soon az
the officer was really a valuable one wai
conceded to be poor policy. The new
amendment does not 90 into effect unit
after the first OF next January. The
list of officers elected is as follows
Supreme representative, U. S. G. Cherry
Sioux Falls; grand chancellor, DR.. II
G. Burch. Redfeld; grand vice chan

keeper of records and seal, j. Car

that after certain date all machinists

The hour This new rule was not
agreeable to the workmen, being con-
trary to the rules of the l. A. NJ, and
the ultimate outcome of the matter
was that the machinists several days
ago put up their tools and refused to
work under the new rule. The COM
5pany officials al first attempted to run

Rod of life. 1t is invaluable in that
transition period when the girl becomes

female weakness. From the time of the

n thing of interest happened un-

Azores Islands, and they certainly are
beautiful. l do not know just how
many there are in the group but we
could only $50 the two we passed be-

rs were those TINS morning, it is doub-
Iy so. From tie llne of the water up
to the clouds, the top of the islands
were all cloud covered, and we were
just far enough away from them to
make 1T look more like a picture than
reality. Green and black was the
body of them and with the white
clouds at the top and the blue water
at the bottom, and here and there
little cities wherein the houses all
seemed painted white and dom The
siles of those mountains, for they
we're nothing if not mountains, came

After leaving the Azores the sec.

rest Of the trip had been go smooth
that the tune passed rather slowly,
but this morning as we are sailing
into Gibraltar it is again smooth.
The day is beautiful, warm and all a
person could expect OH spring day

A thing happened just now that
struck me as being funny. This, Feb.

heard, Washington's birthday. Well
as we sailed into the Harbor, the band
on board played the "Star Spangled
Banner" Really, after the "late un-
pleasantness" with Spain, the playing
of that tune so near home was just a
little funny. Of course, appreciated
the sentiment of it but it struck me
being just little odd.
