The Knights OF Pythias Club.

The Knights Of Pythias Club.
AS quickly as the finishing
touches can be added to the
equipment, the Knights Of Pyth-
las will formally dedicate their
new home, and unto Missouri
Valley will be given one of the
finest, handsomest and most
perfectly appointed clubs to be
found in Iowa. A club that the
city may we'll be proud of and
that will go far in making this
city attractive, not only to the
fortunate members but to visi-
tors from other cities.
The club occupies the entire
second floor of the Burbank
Building, the old partitions hav-
ing been entirely removed and
the new arrangement gives a
large, airy, well-lighted, we'll
ventilated club room in the
south end of the building. The
north half of the building being
given up to lodge room, anti
room, kitchen, etc. The rooms
are furnished throughout with
mission style furniture of the
very best grade. A billiard and
pool table of the very latest pat.
tern, both in mission fashion,
have been installed and will aid
the members in dispelling the
ennui of life. The floors are
all white maple, the walls have
been decorated in keeping with
the general luxuriancy of TIE
whole scheme, and everything
considered, the rooms present
a finished appearance found no
where else in the city.
The idea is to make the club
the most attractive place in the
city for its members, with the
natural exception of the home,
and it is the humble opinion of
the writer that the idea has been
completely worked out. Here
after when looking for a man,
inquire if he is a K. p, and if
he is, save much time and worry
by applying to .'Pa" Harmon in
his official capacity, as Steward
of the club, and it is safe to bet
that he can find your man.
But the social side is not the
important consideration. The
influence for good that must in
evitably flow from the throwing
together of such a membership
as compose the Order of the
Knights of Pythias, mingling
in free and easy familiarity,
will surely be felt throughout
the city. When the younger men
can meet the older men of the
city, on common ground and
without constraint both must
benefit thereby and the city
prosper accordingly.
We understand that it is the
plan to have: the grand officers
of the domain of Iowa, and the
neighboring lodges, here at the
dedication, and that a mighty
nice time will be in store for all
who are permitted to attend,
and that the visitors will be CIV
en- real touch Of Missouri Vail
ey progressiveness. These lit
tie things help.
The lodge wishes the public
to understand that the club is
absolutely free from any of the
features attached to similar
clubs of other Orders.
That the moral tone is right and
as free from faint as the atmos-
phere of your own homes, evil
denced by The rules promulga-
ted for the government of the
club, and the membership of it.

The Clever Weaver Bird.

An interesting bird is the "weav-
err" 1t seems to be fond of max
ing enormous nests merely for the
purpose of exercise IN the art Of
construction. Supply these birds
with strings and straw, and they
will use them up rapidly, and their
fabric is woven with a perfectness
that is astonishing. In some coun-
tries it is the custom of the weaver
birds to colonize and build n big
fiat topped platform, two or three
yards across, which is SO admirably
put together as to shed the rain as
well as any roof could do. Under
this roof they make individual peck
ct shaped nests, bringing up under
this unique structure a large and
interesting family of little weayers.
There is another bird, called the
tailor" which, instead of weaving
it's nest, incloses it in big leaves and
stitches the latter together with
plant fbers, just as one would sew &
piece of cloth.

The Power Of Enthusiasm.

Enthusiasm is one magnet OF
power. You must fire every event
with it, touch thoughts and acts
with it. 1t will transmute dross
into gold, drudgery into delight.
What matters if the soul which
lives beside you is cold and selfish +?
Set him a good example! Joy is
sunshine, and he will feel it. Every
irksome task is a chance for power,
for the qualities which they bring
out are Gods gifts which fit us to
enjoy better things. Easy things
will come if you have spent your
hearts blood on gaining strength,
for the very goal of power is the
ease which comes from strength.
We laugh at things and people who
used to COW or annoy us. We DO
gracefully and swiftly the tasks
once so hard. One by one we have
unriveted our chains. We are free!

Old man Wowton, the meanest
citizen in all the blue grass country,
drove up to the market place in
Lexington, where an army of ne
groes stood about or lay basking in
the early morning sun waiting for
some man to hire them. The old
man was SO stingy that he usually
