THE DISCONTINUED FLOWER.

"I wish Uncle Jack would tell US story
sighed Rose. Very well, I will, said Uncle.
Jack who came in just Rose spoke. So he
told them the following story: IT out riding
in the woods one day when heard a tiny voice
say 7 wish I could fly looked around but I
could not see anything Then + heard it again
and this time very pretty flower with its
face turned up to mine. I moved and the voice
said, Don't step me- so moved little way
off. Then said, Would you like to come with
me and see the big world? The voice said, Yes,
il you won't hurt me- SO dug the plant up with
my hands, leaving some earth with it SO that it
would not die. Then got on my horse and rode
away. After a while heard sigh and said
What is the matter and the voice answered, I
wish I were back In the woods again. So
turned back and when got to the place where
the flower had i put 1t back again. Then the
voice said, Thank you, sir, you have taught me a.
good lesson, which is, do not always be wishing
for things you cannot have Don't you thing the
little flower wise?"s But Rose did not hear,
or she had gone to the land of dreams.

BIG PYTRlAN MEETING.
Franklin Amplifed Team OF Third
Rank Does Great Work in
Phintias Hall.

The Phintias lodge, knights of
Pythias. held a fine meeting Friday
night, which was largely attended.
The amplified form of the third
rank was administered to two can
didates and the rank of Esquire
was also given. The work in both
ranks was administered by the team
from Orestes lodge of Franklin. The
Franklin Knights do excellent work,
and the members o. Phintias lodge,
and of the Dexter lodge, who were
present last night, were loud in their
praise of it. The work in the second
rank was particularly pleasing and
ELECTED much favorable comment.
The large number of knights who
were drawn to the meeting by the
announcement that the amplified
third would be worked we're not dis
appointed. The Orestes team was
splendidly drilled and they did the
work in magnificent style. In fact, so
good it vas that several members who
had seen the long form worked in
some of the large cities pronounced the
work to be as fine as they had ever
seen. 1t was easily evident that
Orestes lodge is one of the leading loo yes
OF the STATE. All OF It's WORK is uone I'D
an admirable manner.
The effect the work had in local
Pythian circles is already evident, for
steps are being taken now to revive the
amplified form of the third rank in
Phintias lodge.
The meeting Friday night was one of
the most thoroughly delightful that has
been held in this city in long time.
During the evening ice cream, sherbet
and cakes were served, which added to
the pleasure of the occasion.
