The Proclamation

In the name of Mohammeded is this
proclamation issued to the SCATTERING
bands of Arabs who have crossed the
roasting sands of Khorassan's desert.
Once again do | command thee to
heed the edict of thy superior, whose
spoken word is law.
Shouldst thou, in the righteousness Of
thy nature, fail to listen with attentive
ear to my words of counsel, woe be
unto thee, for then will !, thy master.
cause the jungles to rumble with such
-incessant roarings from mighty tigers
as will bring fear to thy heart, cause
thy knees to quake beneath thee and
blast thy hopes forever more. There
is war in the Orient, but let it not dis
turb the tranquility Of thy feelings, nor
blind thy vision to happenings Of home,
Unmitigated otfense has been com
mitted against the person Of Thy SOW
ereign, and he shall take cognizance Of
such ~effrontery by calling a gathering
of the clans, and with them will invade
the quiet precincts of those who hraz-
emily deny his sovereignty.
Pompous ceremony, b%enighted court
esy, sublime respect, exalted worship
and exquisite pleasure should mark thy
bearing in thy greeting to Mohammeded.
Therefore, in the sacredness Of my
precincts, do ! issue this solemn and
binding proclamation.
Look to thy trappings, massage the
sinews Of thy camel, rasp the molars OF
thy tigers, stretch the euticle Of thy
limbs, buckle thy girth strings tight
about thee, see that thy knapsack is
well filled and prepare thee in all and
every particular to give unto me such
reception as is meet, proper and becom-
ing my exalted rank and station; for
the 25th day Of Rabbi Uhl-Awwal, ID
month of the year Of the Hegira, 1922.
Americanly written Tuesday, November
%, 1905, has been set apart by me as a
day of worship for my sacred followers,
and for the introduction into our mystic
circle of those ~neophites who are CLAN
oring for knowledge and who desire 10
prove their oft repeated boast Of
strength and valor by undergoing such
hardships as WI in our wisdom may
prescribe.
AS this is an occasion of special JOLT
fcation and promises much enjoyment,
= / command all and every one Of Kho-
rassan's worshipers to congregate at
the doors Of our temple shortly after
the setting of the sun on the day so set
apart in order to participate with me u
a gigantic parade through the thorough
fares Of the Oasis of Tonopah, Plain Of
Nye and Desert of Nevada. The
strength of our lines should be Of such
proportion as TO prove to our enemies
the foolhardiness Of attempts to en-
croach therein.
After the thoroughfares Of the Oasu
have been traversed, the clans WI
gather in secret conclave, when sue
Tyros as have passed the rigid exam
nation may present themselves for ~
fellowship among US. Should they NJ
be found wanting their endurance
crossing the hot sands will be tested.
Fatigue comes to all men, so aft
the hardship of our journey the Votarie
one and all, shall share my h~ospitalit

Some will remember the wonderful
pictures drawn by Gustave Dore in
illustration of Dante's Inferno. The
furthermost hell was not lake of
fire and birthstone. 1t vas frozen
lake of water and out of the ice
stuck myriads of heads. No one who
has seen the horror and agony put
into those faces by the artist will
ever forget 1t. Well. near Osawato-
mic the other day the body of a. R.
Cole was found in the Marias des
Cygnes river. His head was out of
the water frozen in the ice, says an
account in Paola paper. No one
known how he came to his death
whether he wandered off drunk and
was drowned or frozen, or whether
he had been murdered. ut those who
came first to, the bank of the river
saw Dante's Inferno.
