Knights Of Pythias

The Pythians Of Garyville, La. held q
rousing meeting last week in honor OF
the initiation of large class into the
mysteries of the rank OF knighthood.
Great preparations were made to make
this affair notable one. and A. W Brown,
the grand vice chancellor of the domain /;
John j. Darrieux, D.. G. c., and Ben
Mendelson, P. G. c.. were especially in
vited to conduct the ceremonials.
Some time ago Lyon Lodge was not
in as hourishing a condition as might
have been desired. but owing to the
splendid revivals of last year, the mem
bers we're struck by a wave OF enthusiasm,
and have ever since been making prog
ress by leaps and bounds. About three
months ago the knights lost all their pa
raphernalia by fire which destroyed
Library Hall. A large and more commo-
dious building has been erected. how
ever, consisting of q reading hall, a spa
cious billiard and poolroom and elegant
ly fitted lodge quarters, which serve as
well for social entertainments. 1t fronts
on the main street, and while it's archi
lecture is of modest pretentions, the citi-
zens consider it valuable addition to
the community.

The dog days will resume again,

The dog days will resume again.
And the man who voted water
With the weather down to eight or ten
Below will grow the hotter
With wishing that he had foreseen
The season hot and stewing,
And nothing but a choice between
Pink lemonade and bluing.
1t will not strike him, we're afraid, as
when the cold was singing, and up and
down the wind swept street the iciclcs
were clinging. There's nothing like dry
parade. the shouts of Hallelulliah, and
the children skiilfuIly arrayed for what
you want to fool you.
It's very easy to forget there's such a
thing as summer. or such quantity as
sweat. what time the busy drummer is

bumps minute, and the line sweeps by
with rhythmic feet and the little shavers

OF Angst it may first be said, it's
name is from Augustus, whom men have
hkened unto Ted, perhaps without in.
Justice. He made the world go round
about as many times minute, and the
news was always dull without the great
Augstus in it.
He had his Ananias Club for liars and
for takers, and he loved to sail his little
tub among the Roman breakers. He
counted peace sort of plague. and ne
yer did pursue it, but let it rally at The
Hague, and you couldn't beat him to it.
