quet.
Shriner Club Will Be Organized
in Topeka.

A special ceremonial session of the
AbdaIlah Temple Ancient Arabic
Order, mobiles of the Mystic Shrine
will be held in Topeka by the Topeka
members of Abdallah Temple on

There are at the present time over so
petitions in for the sandy trip and
before the time for the bugle call there
will be over one hundred. After the
perilous trip has been made there
will be a big spread In the shade of
a palm on one of the GASES which is
called the banquet room of the Scot
fish Rite by name. This banquet-rest-
spread-feed viii be held if there are
no fatalities resulting from the course
of the, caravan and still the mysterious
Shrines do not pay much attention to
this on account of the abundance of
medical and undertaking material in
the secrets. The Mobiles of the
Abdallah temple have excellent ac-
commodations for the disposal of dead
Indians and there will be no trouble
on this account.
If the Scipio Pumps Failed.
If the famous pumps at Scipio blew
up into a thousand pieces, if all the
coal miners in the world went on a
strike, if the thermometer fell until it
burst from the friction of the pass
ing air, if snow, cold hardship, dark
ness, and dreariness came over the
country it would still be impossible
to cool the. sands of the desert of To-
peka-the desert which is situated in
the dry and arid regions bounded by
Jackson, Seventh, Van Buren, and
Sixth streets and in the territory
called the Masonic Temple. The
sparkling sands are always hot and
burning in this place and the GASES are
few and far between. Rain never
comes to quench the thirst of the
parched travellers and the camels are
slow and rough. But regardless of
the many dangers. regardless of the
threatening heated pebbles. and the
threats of those who have travelled be-
fore over 100 novices will mount their
steeds and with the glowing, blazing
sands beneath their feet and the hot
sun of the Topeka members of the
Abdallah temple above them they will
travel over that representation of
hadeS to endure the many hardShipS
and perils only to make their exit into
the Ancient Arabic Order of the
Mobiles of the Mystic Shrine

The headquarters for the tormen-
tors and the den of the pirates and
highway robbers of the Topeka dis

GERS will attend the torture of the in
novices and they will bring
with them all of the tools and brand
