PYTHIANS HAD A
MOST COMICAL PARADE

Just about the funniest parade
ever seen on the public square of
Ocala was that given by the knights
of Pythias Wednesday afternoon.
1t was headed by Past Chancellor
Tompkins Of Ocala and Grand Outer
Guard w. j. Williams of Milton, on
horseback. After them came the
knights Of the Uniform Rank and
then the knights of Khorassan in
their striking costumes. Following
these were dragged in chains the
tyrOs doomed TO walk across the
burning sands, all wearing peniten-
tial suits and saddenei countenanc-
es. After these were various wild
animals and their keepers. which
last were not always able 10 keep the
fierce beasts from attacking the
spectators.
Marching around the square and
adjacent streets, the procession was
admired by assem- bled hundreds, but
there was danger as well as amuse-
ment in the display, for the semi
sayages guarding The tyros saw a
jimsavage on the sidewalk. and pro-
ceeded to kidnap him, in spite of the
protests Of his friends and weeping
relatives. The same dreadful fate
befell Frank Wetherbee. and when
Marshal Brigance tried to interfere
with these high-handed proceedings,
he also was bound and dragged
along. There seemed no protection
against the barbarians short OF call
ing out the militia.
After a march that was triumph
ant for the captors and long and
weary for the captured the process
sion reached the NJ. & c. Bank cor
ner. Here, Marshal Brigance, chat
ing at the indignity put upon him,
finally bit his chain in two. and pro-
ceeded TO put his chief tormentor
under arrest. The other barbarians
focked to the rescue; swords and
guns flashed, and the crowd waited
| with baited breath as Sunnyjim put
up a $40 bond TO see If the money
was genuine or not.
| At this point it was discovered
| that the knights and the marshal
| had worked off an ante-April fool on
the assemblage. and everybody
| laughed and went to supper.

This Mornings Proceedings

Document No. p. being a resolu-
ton to amend the constitution of the
Grand Lodge Of Florida fixing a per-
manent meeting place and building a
home, was defeated; this question in
one shape or another has come before
the Grand Lodge for the past ten or
fifteen years. A committee Of three
at the Grand Lodge meeting in Kiss
immee 1919, appointed a committee
OF three to investigate the matter as
TO its feasibility and TO recommend
a permanent meeting place, the COM
mittee recommended that perma-
nent home be established in Jack
sonville, but failed OF adoption.
At the hour OF adjournment the
question OF building home fer or
phans and INDECENT Pythians was be-
fore the lodge, and will likely be de-
hated until the middle OF the after
noon. After this question is settled
very little else OF Importance is to
come before the Grand Lodge other
than the election OF officers and nam
ing the meeting place for 1915; there
being several invitations from var
ious towns and cities for the Grand
Lodge to hold its next convention
with them. among which are Palatka
Lakeland, Key West and Tampa. No
great amount Of business claimed the
attention OF this session. The COM
mittee appointed a year ago to amend
the Grand Lodge constitution and
statutes to conform TO the Supreme
Lodge laws, made its report and the
same was adopted.
There is considerable rivalry for
the Office of grand outer guard, as
the custom has prevailed for num-
Der Of years that all other officers of
the Grand Lodge with the exception
Of the grand keeper OF records and
seal and grand master OF exchequer,
have been promotion one station,
leaving the grand outer guard the
only new officer to be elected Prom
inent among the candidates for the
office of grand outer guard. are men
toned w. L. Straub OF S.. Petersburg,
Mr.. Lucas of Palatka and VIM VI.
Gober of Ocala. Mr.. Gober's friends
are putting up a hard fight for him
with the chances in their favor.
! Other candidates are likely to de-
velop before the election is gone

The present indications are that
the Grand Lodge will complete its
work and adjourn late this after
noon or early this evening Howey-
er many OF the knights will remain
over until the trains tomorrow.
