CENTENNIAL

Local Pythians and their friends
every one, In short, that could get
there, celebrated the golden jubilee OF
the order, at Pythian Hall, Thursday
night. The special ritualstic service
prepared by the Supreme Lodge for
the occasion was observed under di.
rection of the Chancellor Commander,
Mr.. j. E. Robb, ably supported by the
other officers Of Bayou Sara Lodge,
No. Is.
1t was at first proposed to have the
jubilee service in the cast1e-hall prop
er, upstairs, but it was finally decided
to have it on the lower floor, and this
was found to be best in every way.
The several stations" were placed on
the stage, and though the space was
smaller than that to which the knights
are accustomed, they did their various
parts well. The reading of Judge Col
san. who took ce-Chancellor Aschaf-
fenberg's place by request, was par
ticularly impressive. The decorations
were tasteful, and the general appear
ance of the hall most festive Mr.. w.
B. Smith made short but beautiful
address on Pythianism in the course
of the service.

The floor was cleared for dancing,
and the large assemblage enjoyed this
feature as usual very much. Light re-
freshments were served in the annex
by ladies interested in the order.
A feature of the dancing was an old
fashioned quadrille by the older mar
ried folks, which gave a great deal of
amusement.
All in all, the jubilee was delight
full and thoroughly successful affair,
and will be long remembered.

BAYOU SARA PosT-oFFicE
ROBBED.

The Bayou Sara post office was
broken into and robbed Wednesday
night When Mrs. C. e. Thibodaux en-
tered the little building next morning
she soon saw evidences of this. The
burglars had first attempted to enter
through side window, but failed to
do so. They then priced off the lock
of the back door. They got the safe
open and took out the cash, $500 in
all, and seven or eight dollars worth
of stamps, A package of fine cigars,
addressed to an uptown mail order
patron, is also missing, valued at about
$500.
The floor was Uttered with burnt
matches, the work evidently being
done by that light alone. Full time
was taken about it, as newspapers
were scattered on the floor, and with
a touch OF humor a comic post card
was taken from the sales rack and
pasted on the safe door. The card
showed some one sick in bed and the
words below it: Now you must take
your medicine" The intimation to the
postmistress was that this was her
medicine.
If the burglars are caught, they also
will have some medicine to take. Mrs
Thibodaux suspects two white men
whom she saw hanging around.

LEAVES FROM PRAYER BOOK FOR
LENTEN STUDY.
The Collect.

o Lord, who hast taught us that all
our doings without charity are nothing
worth: Send thy Holy Ghost, and pour
into our hearts that most excellent
gift OF charity, the very bond of peace
and of all virtues, without which who
soever liveth is counted dead before
thee. Grant this for thine only Son
Jesus Christs sake. Amen.
The Epistle. Cor. xiii. I.
Though speak with the tongues of
men and of angels, and have not char
ity, | am become as sounding brass,
or a tinkling cymbal. And though
have the gift of prophecy, and under
stand all mysteries, and all knowledge;
and though | have all faith, so that
could remove mountains, and have not
charity, | am nothing. And though
bestoW all my goods to feed the poor,
and though / give my body to be burn
ed, and have not charity, it profteth
me nothing. Charity suffereth long,
and is kind; charity envieth not; char
ity vaunteth not itself, Is not puffed up,
doth not behave itself unseemly. seek
eth not her own, is not easily provok-
ed, thinketh no evil; rejoiceth not in
iniGuity, but rejoiceth in the truth:
beareth all things, believeth all things,
hopeth all things, endureth all things.
Charity never faileth: but whether
there be tongues, they shall cease;
whether there be knowledge. it shall
vanish away For we know in part,
and we prophesy in part. But when
that which is perfect is come. then
that which is in part shall be done
away When was child, spake as
a child, understood as child, |
thought as child: but when became
a man. put away childish things. For
now we see through glass, darkly;
but then face to face: now | know in
part; but then shall | know even as
also | am known. And now abideth
faith, hope, charity, these three; but
the greatest of these is charity.
The Gospel St. Luke xviii. 81.
Then Jesus took unto him the twelve
and said unto them, Behold we go I'D
to Jerusalem, and all things that are
written by the prophets concerning the
Son of man shall be accomplished. For
he shall be delivered unto the Gentiles.
and shall be Knocked, and spitefuIly en-
treated, and spitted On: and they shall
scourge him, and put him to death:
and the third day he shall rise again.
And they understood none of these
things and this saying was hid from
them, neither knew they the things
which were spoken. And it came to
pass, that as he was come nigh unto
Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the
way side begging: and hearing the
multitude pass by, he asked what it
And they told him, that Jesus
Of Nazareth passeth by. Al d he cried,
saying, Jesus, thou son of David, have
mercy on me. And they which went
before rebuked him, that he should
hold his peace: but he cried so much
the more, Thou son of David, have
mercy on me. And Jesus stood, and
commanded him to be brought unto
him: and when he was come near he
asked him, saying, What wilt thou
that | shall do unto thee? And he
said, Lord, that | may receive my
sight And Jesus said unto him, Re-
ceive thy sight: thy faith hath saved
thee. And Immediately he received

RELICS FOUND.

Henry Keeper, GAL Twenty-seyenth
ST., has returned from a trip on the
Wisconsin river near Knowlton, with
an interesting collection Of relics,
which we're found on the bank of the
river at the roots of a large tree.
They consist Of human skull dam
aged by the elements, large number
of bones, two handfuls of black and
white beads, two silver bracelets, and
the head of twenty-six pound mus
kellunge, which he had caught in the
river before discovering the relics.
.'Roger Guenther, Knowlton, was
with me at the time" says Mr.. KEEP
per- "We saw the bones protruding
from the soil and went to investigate
and were much astonished bv our
find. Mr.. Guenther's father, pio-
neer resident of the vicinity, says the
hank at this point projected twenty
feet farther into the river, in earlier
days, and that he remembers stories
about big Indian battles at this point.
We imagine the skull and other ar
ticles belonged TO an Indian, but the
bracelets, when closed, are hardly
more than two inches in diameter. y
