OF PYTHIAs GIVE BANQUET
A Social Event Well Attended and Very
Much Enjoyed

The premier social event of the sea-
son occurred last Saturday evening,
when the members of the Knights of
Pythian lodge and ladies participated
in swell banquet and ball in the lodge
and club rooms of that order. 1t was
function which took in nearly one
hundred people, mostly young. About
o'clock the company assembled and
marched into the dining room to the
strains of music rendered by an orches-
ira composed entirely of members of
the order. The splendid numbers play
ed by them gave added enjoyment to
the partaking of an elegant repast.
Supper over, the room was cleared and
dancing engaged in. Some enjoyed a
social game of cards and others gath
cred around the pool and billiard ia
bles. A royal good time was had by
all until the approaching hour of mid
night warned them to seek their homes.
The Knights of Pvthias occupy the
entire second floor of the Nichols block.
Recently the work was completed of
overhauling the billiard room, making
it neat and inviting place. 1t is join
ed by an archway to the reading room
which is superbly finished and furnish
ed in mission Although only a young
ster of three years this lodge is rapidly
growing in membership and strength,
and has habitat that would be a credit
to one much older.

Twelve Million TsIsnhones

1t is reported that there are now in
this country $4,000, 900 telephones, or
one for every two houses in the coun-
try. This does not mean that one half
of the residences in the country contain
an instrument, since many business
houses have a large number, but the
figures are instructive and Illuminating.
Practically everybody in the cities or
towns and villages has a telephone,
while those in the country districts are
legion. The astonishing fact is that
each Of these plpres i used on an
average of six times day. The total
number of calls in year runs into the
billions and is not appreciable by the
human mind.
