like to say few words for Dear Old
Daytona, Florida"
Dayton is beautifully situated on
the Halifax river. which is twenty miles
long and extends west to New Smyrna
on the south and to Ormand on the
north. The ocean is about three quar-
ters of mile beyond tho river; the en-
tire distance between them is built up
making two resorts, Seebreeze on the
west and Daytona Beach on the north.
1t extends for fifteen miles in either
direction without break, and at low
tide fifteen autos can drive abreast or
the beach
1t is a grand sight to see the autos,
the dress parades and the flying machine.
Seebreeze is certainly a fine resort.
The Clarendon Hotel, buit out over
the beach, IS very noted and ranks with
the best Florida hotels. 1t is six mile
drive to the Hotel Ormasd The drive
extends through the golf links and winds
through the woods along the banks Of
the river. John d. Rockefeller was
seen on the golf links every pleasant day.
The Hotel Ormand is an immense
building and its surroundings are beau-
tiful. One of the things that we en-
joyed most was the Saraein Italian
band Tley gave CONCERTS three times
a day on the banks of the Halifax river.
and the music was certainly inspiring.
One could fill many pages about Day
tona, with its broad streets and live oak
trees gnarled with immense clusters of
hanging moss but he has to be there
hip1self to realize its beauty.

THEIR GOLDEN JUBILEE
The Knight Of PyfhiaS VIII Celebrate
February Nineteenth
THREE-QUARTERS OF MILLION
Fltz James Lodge Preparing Prsgfam-Brlef
History

The story of the founding and gradual
growth of any large organization makes
an interesting item of history and the
following brief summary of the Knights
Of Pythas from the first dreams of the
founder to the present time is not
only interesting but also instructivs,
The founder of the order, Justus
Henry Rathbone, was born Oct. 10Th,
1889 at Deerheld, N. Y He taught
school in little log school house in
Houghton County, Mich, in the year
1860, and during that year spent many
of the lonesome hours reading ancient
Grecian history and became very much
impressed and interested in the story
of the lives and acts OF two prominent
senator's OF that country and age one
named Damon and the other Pythias
who were VI ry devout friends and COM
panions. When the war of the North
and South was on and theycountry filled
with strife, Rathbonc saw in this Gre
cian story of Damon and Pythias the
germ and foundation of al order that
coald become a mighty factor in sub
dnihg sectional animosity and restoring
peace and good will and universal bro
therhood While in that lonely north
err Michigan school house he wrote the
ritual, founded upon this story of true
friendship as exemplifed by these two
senator's. The following year he went
to Washington d. c., and was employed
as clerk by. the government fT0m 1901
10 1877. Having previously prepafed the
ritual he invited some of his close
friends and fellow clerks to his room,
swore them to secrecy and read to them
the ritual. He then prepared and OF
ganized ile first lodge of the Knights
of Pythiss. Washir gton Lodge No. /,
Washington, d. C., Feb. l9, 1864.
From this small beginning of twelve
members, the order has fiourished and
grown until now on its hftieth anniver-
sary, over tttree-fourtis of million
men are enrolled in ms membership
The order of knights OF Pythias, found
ed in Friendship Charity and Benevo-
ilence, which it ptoclaims as its cardinal
principles, strives 10 gather into one
mighty fraternity worthy men who ap-
preeiate the true meaning Of friend
ship: who are cautious in worS and act
who love truth who are brave in de-
fendisg right; whose loyalty to princi-
pies, 20 family, to friend to their
country and to the constituted author-
ity under which they enjoy citizenship,
and who az all times, are prepared to do
unto others as. they would that others
should do unto them.
AS the order will be fifty years old |
on the ninteebtb day of February. every
subordinate lodge is commanded to hold
special Golden Jubilee services on that
date
Fitz James Lodge No 95 of this city, |
is preparing an appropriate program
and banquet, and many OF the good men
