The members of the FL Kalah tenn
pie, Ancient Arabic order, mobiles of the
Mystic Shrine had a high time yester-
day evening and far into the night.
The pilgrimage which many novices
made over the buring sands ended last
evening, when the camels arrived at
their Mecca on Main street where they
found a pleasing Oasis in which to
refresh themselves after their long and
trying journey. They were welcomed
by the mobiles of the shrine, and after
resting were put through severe tests
as to their fitness to attain the object
of their long and perilous journey,
viz, admittance to the mysteries of the
shrine and full brotherhood in that
high and noble branch Of masonry.
