depicted which held the attention of
the auditors until the sixth order OF
business was reached As the name
of the order implies, the ceremonies
demand a high degree of dramatic
ability on the part of those conduct
ing them, but in the various orders OF
business considered that which comes
sixth is said to be the one designated
for the reign of unbridled enjoyment.
Judging from the remarkable aggre-
CATION of strange noises emanatins
from the place of meeting last night
it is thought that every candidate got
his'n'' and will at once seek his best
friend to induce him to join the class
that will be conducted across the des-
ert sands at the ceremonial next
spring.
To the untiring efforts and ability
of Deputy Coroner F. J. Williams,
chairman of the membership commit
tee, the large number of applications
for membership and the successful
carrying out of the principal features
of last nights meeting is mainly due.
Public Administrator Frank Bryson
and Deputy County Clerk A. w. Fran
cisco were especially active in fur
thering the interests of the ineXperi-
enced tyro who wished to be trans
formed into a trusted votary.
Representing the social feature of
the knights of Pythias, the Dramatic
Order knights of Khorassan was or
ganized for the purpose of further ce-
menting the bond of fraternal fellow
ship existing in the Knights of Pyth-
las order, and the ceremonials are al
WAYS occasions of much hilarity Any
Knight of Pythias in good standing is
eligible to membership, though there is
no direct connection between the two
orders, they being entirely separate
and distinct organizations The OBJ
iect of the D. o. X. K. is to cultivate
the social side of life and present an
opportunity for those who enjoy So
ciability to pass an evening now and
then in association with kindred spir-
it's, where they may participate in
ceremonies enlivening, entertaining
and provocative of amusement as we'll.
The order is particularly designed to
create a broader and better acquaint-
ance among Pythians, furnishing a
middle ground upon which the mem
bers of different lodges can meet, min
gle and knew one another.
The officers of Al Borak temple are.
Robert L. Mueller, royal vizier; D. c.
Casselman, grand emir; A. w. Fran
