An event of more than usual inter- est in Pythian circles will take place next Thursday night when William T. Parker of Birmingham lodge No. S5, who was elected grand outer guard at recent meeting of the grand lodge held in Montgomery. will be complimented by his subordinate lodge with a big meeting at which he will be the guest of honor and be installed as a grand officer.
 Owing to the fact that Mir. Parker was called away from the grand lodge meeting before he was h. stalled as a grand lodge officer, Bir- mrinsham lodgs No. S5. secured the consent of Grand Chancellor Com mander T. NJ. Mix to install him In his own lodge. It Is expected that the meeting Thursday night will be one of the largest ever held by the lodge as an addition to the grand lodge officers. many of the past grand chancellors will be present.

 Mir. Parker's Record
 MT. Parker came to Birmingham from Louisville. Ky, in the latter part of the sos to make this his home. He joined the order of Knights Of Pythias March 5, 1890. and was at once elected to office in the subor- dinate lodge and advanced through the chairs to chancellor commander Vacating that office July 1, 1892, he was elected to fill the office of keeper of records and seal, which he held for some time, then later being elected to master of finance, which position he now holds in Birmingham lodge No. S5.
 Tn the 32 years that he has be- 1onged to the order he has seen a good many come and so. He has helpeo initiate members of every lodge in this district, and Is always willing when called upon to continue in doing this kind of work. There is not a man in the order of Knights of Pyth- las that knows MT. Parker who does not love him, for veryone knows that he has the order at heart and Is working hard at all times to build 1t. His love for the order has been sliOWA ny HIS BOOd dHu ldllHlul WOIKg his prompt attendance and the good word for his fellow man wherever he meets them.
 Mir. Parker never misses a meeting night There Is nothing more lm- portant to him on Thursday night than his lodge meeting, everything else Is laid aside and he goes to his lodge with the sam spirit in mind and in heart as was there on the night of March 19. 1890. when he re- ceived the rank of knight.
 MT. Parker has four sons belong ing to the order: s. S. Parker, L. H. Parker, D. r. Parker and H. D. Parker. 8. S, and D. F. Parker hav- ing followed his footsteps In Bir- mingham lodge No. 85. have passed through the chairs and both are now past chancellors. D. r. Parker at present Is keeper of records and seal

last night Why did you go half
way up tie flight OF stairs leading
to Mrs. Vane's apartment If you
saw her in the hall talking to a
neighbor whom you apparently

Mrs. fane seemed bantering her

her in lesentful fashion. The mo-
