for their conduct over the hot sands,

From. mountain, Mill and plain;

In joyous mood again.
We are AL Borak Seventy-ive,

OF all the beasts on land or sea
Our camel is the best.
Here's TO the tiger and to Jock.
Mokanna and his band;
And here's to our Mehadi who
Win guide you DER the sand
The matter of having the famous old
temple tiger appear in the parade has
been considered and it is as yet I'M
ertain as to the feasibility of such a
plan. OF course, the old fellow would
be heavily loaded with strong chains
and carefully guarded. but as he prob
ably will be extremely fierce and blood
thirsty through seeming tyros about
that time. the consequences of his es-
cape might be appalling. More than
likely the general public viii be unable
to see him. He will be in evidence at
the ceremonial, however, as one of the
demands is: please get some tyros,
as our tiger is almost famished."

important in the history of the order

organized in the city, and has been a
most loyal member ever since. He
served as chief of Simonides court for

sponsible office of scribe for the bal
ance of the time. A recent issue of
The Chariot, the official organ of the
order, in an article by the supreme
chief giving an account of his visit
to the state mention was made of the
pioneers of the order who had been
chiefly instrumental in building up the
order and the principal credit was
given to DR.. Lewis for his loyal, enthu.
siastic work in Los Angeles. He Will
ably represent this state and will bring
the experience of years in the DELHI
