PLAN CHANGES IN
PYTH|AN UNIFORMS
Question Will Be Brought
Up at the Meeting in
Indianapolis.
(National News Association

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, July IL
Three days of unusual interest and
activity in Pythian circles were in au-
gurated here today. 1t is the biennial
session of the supreme assembly of
the Uniform Rank, knights of Pythias.
The assembly consists of Major Gen
eral Arthur J. Stobbart of Minneapolis
and the brigadier-generals of each of
the States, and of the Canadian Prov
inces, in which the uniform rank is
organized
1t is expected that the assembly will
take action on the proposal TO change
the uniform of the rank. Recently
there has been a growing sentiment
among the members for a return TO
the uniforms of ten years ago, which
included the long coats and the plum
ed hats. The present uniform is the
fatigue outfit. Another matter to re
ceive the attention of the assembly is
the proposal to erect a monument to
the late Major-General James R. Car.
nahan of this city, who originated the
Uniform Rank of the Knights of Pyth.

A Picture of Night.

Along the high hedged lane John
Strong swung. the June cleaning deep
ening into night. He loved to shove
his face into the night He gloried in
the uncertainty of night. the indefi-
niteness of night. and his soul cried
back a wild answer to the cry of the
nighthawk and the owl. Night is more
primitive than day: night Is more
calamitous: night is savage; night
everywhere is the true aborigine. Day
has taken on civilization. Night hurts
the world back to the day Of the war
club. the flint arrowhead. the painted
visage. John Strong loved the night
with an almost malevolent love In
the night he could hear the Valkyries
screaming. the witches riding their
broomsticks. the ghouls scraping the
mold from off the new buried coffin.
John Strong swung along, his face set
to meet oncoming night.-Adventure.

HaIcyon DAYS.

"Alcyone. or Halcyone. the daughter
of Aeolus. married Ceyx." said the
Latin professor. "Ceyx was drowned.

young lovers. They brought them

for the seven days from Dec % to
Dec. 90 the sea should remain calm
while the sea birds built their nests
upon it. Those seven days. the last
of the year. are therefore called hal
cyon days-days of tranquility. kind
of very late Indian summer Here in
America we have no real halcyon
days. but the myth of Alcyone and
Ceyx comes from the Mediterranean.

a fact that the year is ushered out by
a procession of still. mild. splendid

He Was Not Laconic.

John Morley in his life Of Gladstone
tells the story of the statesman's ex-
animation for admission to Oxford uni
versity when he was youth. The ex-
aminer, having utterly failed to floor
the candidate on some point of the
ology, said, I'VE will now leave that
part of the subject" "No, SIR" replied
the candidate; IF you please we will
not leave it yet" and proceeded to
pour forth fresh stream. The dean
in Mr.. Gladstone's day was Gaisford,
famous among other things for his
trenchant brevity. This laconic gift, ~
observes Mr.. Morley slyly, 1.-The dean
evidently had not time to transmit to

brother-in-law, c.. F. Verbeck, which

the tragedy, Carlyle came to Weiser

Verbeck was later hurried to the Co

point of death.
