my Friend From India,; satirizes the
weird doctrines of theosophy. It's favor
| ite doctrine is the reincarnation Of the
SOUL which is believed to go up to higher
| levels as life is more perfect or down to
| lower levels, if progress takes the other
| course. To become an ''all SOUL is to
reach the highest stage on the attainment
| OF which one may become an angel or
browse around on the earth, unseen, do

! 1ous orders in theosophy. and one, the
| Order of the Yellow Robe, Is, conferred
on the most learned philosophers. It is
an occult science and its followers are pre-
sumed to go on from life to life for hun-
dreds and thousands of years accumulat-
ing knowledge. What may have started

other young bloods, is given to seeking
| noctural pleasures away from the parental
| roof, returns home one night with g. com-
panion, whom he has epicked up on: his
way, but whom he does not know. The
next day. to .quel his fathers suspicious
and make excuse. for: his spree, he selects
| a name from the morning list Of the
steamer arrivals, and introduces his COM
panion as my friend from India, with
theosophic proclivities."z This: appears to
the pork packer an unlocked for blessing,
and he Immediately decides to detain the
stranger, introduce him as a fad, and Sc
cure the recognition Of society, Many
complications follow and the ~erstwhile
barber, now known as my theosophie
friend from India with his clothes taken
away from him so he cannot escape, Is
obliged to go about in a yellow bedspread,
recognized as a garment Of the Yellow
