The knights of Pythiasa held their
forty second annual convention of the

of the convention, which included the

discussion of proposed plan for the
revision of the laws of the order.
Grand ChancefIor's Report.
Grand Chancellor L. Erwin Jacobs
in his report said in part:
Upon my return to New Haven af-
ter the convention of the grand lodge
at New London I began my official
visits until from that date to the pres
ent l have made 155 visits throughout
the domain. L visited lodges from the
goth of October until Dec. s, visiting
five nights each week, having sent no
tice to the lodges and after the pub
fishing and forwarding Of circular NO.
4 every lodge in the domain had full
knowledge of the visits made and to be
made.
1 have made call after call when in
poor physical condition but never to
be deferred from an engagement made
L kept right on with the hope that
some good would come from the visit,
and [ have not been disappointed. Then
the grim reaper entered my home and
carried into the kingdom of heaven
my only son, Emory, aged IA years,
after L had made 154 visits, official Wis
itations and public installations. In
addition to the visits to every lodge in
the domain, and a second and third
visit to nearly all the rest. / held what
was a most successful public instal1a-
ton at New Haven on Jan. 10, 1910,
when it was my privilege of installing
the officers of lodges Nos. l, 2, 9, 5, IL,
50 and SO.
1t augers well for the order when
we find that every lodge in the do
main is exemplifying the work on can
didates and adding to the list of mem
bers.
While no new lodges have been in
stituted during the year past, | am of
the opinion, nevertheless, that the field
is open for new lodges. Milford, New
Milford and other places in the domain
are fields that can and should be OPEN
ed for new lodges. The increase dur
ing the year has been through the in
dividual efforts of the members of the

oh, Molly, Molly. with eyes SO blue,
OH Molly, Molly, here's to youl
Sweet honor's roll will aye be richer
TO hold the name OF Molly Pitcher.
When we think of the battle of
Monmouth the first thing we think of
is a girl and big gun.
On February II, 1874, tiny blue
eyed baby was born to John George
Ludwig. The Ludwigs were poor, hard
working people, but they loved their
daughter, Mary, and wanted to do well
by her
When Molly grew up she had many
suitors. She finally decided on John
Hays. They were married on Molly's
birthday, February II, 1863 When the
war came blazing its way through the
land in 1776 John Hays, being patri-
otic man, was one of the first to
march away with Proctor's First Penn
sylvania. Not only John, but Molly
marched to war Molly refused to go
home, so the regiment was glad to
count Johns Molly as one OF them.
Molly cooked for the soldiers and
mended their clothes
On a battle day Molly would take
pitcher of water and carry 1t to the
wounded Her red head bobbed up and
down cheerfully as she went her
rounds
On June 2S, 1878, Molly was doing
her usual work. She had stopped to
give her husband sip of water, when
just as she started away up the hlll
she saw him fall.
"Wheel back the gum an officer
called as he saw there was no other
man left to serve it.
You'll never do it while ] am alive"
shrilled woman's agonized voice.
Molly threw down her pitcher and
seized the rammer, only stopping long
enough to drag the body of her hus-
band out of the way. Molly Pitcher

himself into a frog in order to be near
her. But Lavinda did not know this
and only thought that it was another
enchanted frog like herself and well
coined II joyously Then the two frogs
sprang into the water
After a few days the princess began
to get tired of living under the water
and told her compa nion that she wished
that they both were out OF their en-
chantments:N But the prince sighed and
said that she never could be free unless
she married the prince. Lavinda shook
her head and said that she would
rather die than marry the prince.
When her companion heard this he
became very sorrowful and he knew
that the princess would always remain
a frog. He ceased to speak and be-
came so i'll that the princess was
an agony of fear that she would lose
fairies, restore to me my beloved friend
and will marry your prince
AT these words the prince sprang up
and, taking her hand, he jumped with
her out of the water. On the bank a
fairy was standing, but the prince was
nowhere to be seen. The fairy touched
the princess and she resumed her for
mer shape. Then she touched the
other frog and he instantly became
tall, handsome man, whom Lavinda
recognized as the prince of the silver
mines. With a cry of joy the princess
threw herself into his arms and told
him that she would marry him. So the
wedding was celebrated with great
pomp by the fairies and .alI lived hap
PLY ever after.
