PYTHIANS CELEBRATE.
Good Attendance and Interesting
PROGRAM.


which was one of the most successful
affairs ever given under the auspices
of the lodge. The program was quite
different from the ordinary program
usually introduced upon similar oc-
casions and for this reason alone the
large number of Knights and their
families and friends who were present
enjoyed themselves to the fullest ex-
tent. Although little time was given
to practice and rehearsal those who
took part made i complete success
of the affair.
The program was opened with the
display of the standard colors of the
lodge, the first being the display, of
the U. S. colors, which brought ap-
! plause from the audience. Old Glory
was received amid the sweet echoes
of the ''Star Spangled Banner" and
when the Pythian Flag made its APP
pearance the lodge joined in the
Rallying Ode. After placing the
flags upon the stand the colors were
added to by the display of the banner
of Clifton Lodge No. II.
DR.. L. A W. Burtch took the chair
and after stating the purpose of the
gathering introduced Chancellor Com
mander Chas. Brock, who was dele
gated to deliver an address of well
come. Charley made a good start
and when the audience became inter-
ested the knights sang the WELCOME
Ode: thus preventing Mr.. Brock from
being heard. The audience was quite
surprised and it was several minutes
before it was realized that this oc-
currence was part of the program.
The appearance of Chairman Danen-
hauer and Secretary B. Nelson also
was out of the ordinary and created
considerable fun for those present.
The next number on the program
was beautiful piano solo by Miss
Flossie Whipple, daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. w. NJ. Whipple. She was fol-
lowed by Mr.. n. e. Larson with a
vocal solo, entitled 'Mollie Lee"
Little Lucille Hill, daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Robert Hill, recited "The
Duel" in most pleasing manner; and
she was closely followed by vocal
solo entitled II Know a Bank", by
Miss Victorine Martin, which was
also highly appreciated.
j. II. Cready, who has been men,
Der of the order number of years,
and who is a member of Morenci
lodge, but a resident of Clifton, enter
tanned the meeting by telling a num-
Der of his popular stories and had
everybody laughing from the time he
started until he finished. Misses
Jones and Whipple then rendered a
vocal duet, 81 See Thee in My
Dreams" The Hypnotic demons
tration by c. A. Van Dorm, in which
Karl Hamm was the subject, was also
the means of much laughter, and
when Knight Schotzhauer "bit" the
performance was ended. The violin
tsolo by Knight Lanneau, "TramereP'
was also good; which was followed by
interesting remarks by Mrs. ]. A.
Terrell, who has been a member of
the Pythian Sisters a number of
years.
Perhaps the most laughable number
on the program was the appearance
on the stage OF c. p. Dunn as ICY
Perkins, the farmer" ]. B. Murphy
as "Mr. Snow, the Coon" and G. A.
Jackson as the Clutch Willie Dinken-
SPELL" Some of their jokes were
real good, confined wholly to members
of the order. In their discussion Dan
Eylar seemed to be the main target
and they landed and relanded on him
because he belonged to the Ohio do
main for more than twenty-five years.
DIR. Burtch, G. A. Van Dorm, o.
Halvorson, Chas. Brock, J. H. Cready,
Schlotzhauer and other members re-
ceived attention.
Walter Snedden and knight Murray
received much applause for the 7
singing, and the program was ended
by a song by Mr.. Stew art of Morenci
and an address on Pythian Sisterhood
by W D. Whipple. The social session
then took place ard a light lunch, in
which Knight Kreuder pleased them
all, was served during the course oil
the evening. Owing to the oddnes;
of the entertainment those who were
, present had a continual round oil
pleasure.
