genuous among them failed to battle
his great mind reading powers. Re
freshments were served, after which
the professor entertained his brother
! ;Pythians with relation of his travels
/ and visits to lodges in all parts of the
world. At the conclusion of his re-
| marks he stated that he would be
glad if the lodge would accept bene,
fit at his hands and offered to donate
| to it one.half OF the door receipts at
tonight's performance. As most OF
the members of the Capital City
orchestra are also Pythians, they
quickly volunteered to furnish the
| music between acts this evening
! Both offers We're gladly accepted by
1.-THE lodge with cheers for the pro.
! fessor and the orchestra. In con,
clasion the professor said he would
put on tonight the best show he ever

night for the lodge. SO the house will
|certainly be packed to tits fullest
capacity and reservations should be
