cess.

Bro. Levi Fl. York, of Harmony LODGE has
been Mason for nearly forty years. Recently
he visited lodge in New York the officers of
which were all Sunday-school scholars of his
when be was first made a Mason
The holidays are now over and earnest hard
work is in order. 1t is a wise provision in Ma
sonry to vary the usual order of affairs with just
enough social enjoyment to make the return to
the old routine very enjoyable and pleasant.
Noble Harrison Dingman has been elected to
the advisory position of Prophet of Almas Tenn
pie. No Mason in the Jurisdiction has had a
wider experience in Masonic affairs, and the
Temple will undoubtedly profit by their selec-
ton.
Bro. W. A. Yates has not recovered the use of
his voice entirely. He Is able, however, to at
tend to his business, but is prevented from at
tending the meetings of the several bodies to
which he belongs, as his physician will not per-
init him to go out in the night air.

and on the wrapper was camel in flight, whose
close-cropped tail was being shortened by
drawn scimetar welded by an invisible force.
1t has never been fully decided who holds the
position of the leader OF the kaZooical trouba-
dours of Almas Temple. Jesse Grant is strongly
suspected, but for prudential reasons earnestly
denies the charge AT the last meeting an organ
solo with a kazoo obligato was rendered with
fine effect, the judges deciding in favor of the
organ, Notwithstanding the protest of the band.
James II. Trmble, Grand Lecturer of the
Grand Chapter is holding weekly schools for

is extremely anxious that all the officers of the
different bodies may become so perfect in the
ritual that the entire jurisdiction will be re-
garded the most proficient in the country
and to this end takes the utmost pains to assist
and encourage those who manifest any interest
in the matter.
The Royal and Select Masters are starting out
on new year under very favorable auspices
They have elected an able and efficient staff of
officers, We'll known and experienced in Masonic
affairs. In other Jurisdictions this order is very
prominent, and no chapter Mason deems his
Masonic education complete without receiving
the degrees. The order is known as the Cryptic
system of Masonry and, while very attractive in
It's own sense is largely explanatory of the capt.
ular degrees.
The wonderful growth and prosperity of
Mithras Lodge of Perfection is almost un-
paralleled in Masonic history and before the

berships in the country. An extremely large
number OF propositions for membership are now
Que, and special communications are called
Whenever opportunity offers to confer the de-
grees, and it is source of great pleasure to the
hlte 10 see lhat lhls prosperity is not confined
