can afford to be absent.
The initiation is especially interest
ing. Several more are to follow that
of. this evening. The stories and re-
marks of visiting members and others,
Whilom strangers as we'll as stead
ies," were very interesting. The John
ME on the spot methods of the treas
| urer and other officers are especially
| gratifying. Lodge adjourned without
| form to ante-room to partake of hot
tamales and the hot stuff that went
with them. The meeting of the even
| ing, though interesting, was nothing to
the aftermath, and it seemed that they
wouldn't get home till morning, and
some didn't.

think that it can be accomplished?
Well, l guess yes; because there is a
live bunch in this court, and when they
all put their shoulders to the wheel
what will hinder them from attaining
what they have set out to do, and III
they fail to land the 100 they will be SO
close to it that it will be considered
close call. What say you?
Court Temple No. $40 and Companion
Court Miramar No. S06 held their reg
ular monthly social on Tuesday even

hearing his version of the "Prodigal
Son."
