| tention. 1t was several minutes before
he could get the few mobiles at his own
! table to look at him, but when he
! could get an audience of three walters
and frightened ex-noivce he COM
menced- As he proceeded he gained
| listeners and before he was seated
bles who could remember that he had
spoken. He thanked Topeka for her
| hospitality which, he said. was un-
| doubtedly the best that has ever been
| rendered, to a wandering tribe He
| thanked the gentlemen who had pre-
pared the class and the entertainment
and before he had finished he was
| thanking himself because he did not
| have anything more to say. The Hon
orable Noble L. NJ. Penwell of Topeka,
( responded to the Leavenworth Shrine
and he received a little more attention
on account of the ice that had been
broken by the foreign noble from the
| Soldiers Home. He said in part:
| 81 tried to get out of this speech
| Cget out of it then came a voice from
down the hall. and the owner drop
ped beneath the table.) I feel like
the old darky who ('You certainly
! look like one interrupted another far
away noble.) 1 guess it is useless for
me to try to tell story cts not only
useless. but it's safe, squeaked a bold
voice from near at hand.) But as /
said before GIVE haven't heard you
| say anything yet sputtered another
voice from the corner) and"
Mr.. Penwell saw the foolishness of
| trying to say anything and he finished
his speech by telling the history of the
Topeka Mobiles. There are at the pres
ent time 129 ShTiners living in Topeka
and before very long it will be neces-
sary for Leavenworth to make an
other pilgrimage because a new class
had been started. When he finished
he was cheered from one end Of the
hall to the other and the whats the
matter with PenwelF' resounded

maitz of Leavenworth followed with a
short history of the Shrine and told
in flowery language of the Abdallah
temple. He quoted several great
writer's and the crowd stood for it. He
gave out the information that the
Abdallah temple was 21 years old and
was growing older every day. He said
the Shriners were the selected people
of the Masons and the Masons the Sc
lected people of the country.
Samuel G.. Zimmerman gave the last
of Governor Stubbs on the programme
in responding in behalf of the novices-
He told number of witty expert
ences during the journey of the cara
van and every one but the reporters
seemed to know what he meant. He
said that people always have an idea
that the Shrine is the playground of
Masonry, but he could see a lot of
seriousness in it and he did not be-
lieve the statement. The banquet
closed with fraternal good night and
the CrOWQ OIL IeZeS nleQ out OF the tenn
ple-at half past two this morning.
The Leavenworth crowd came up in
a special car, also a baggage car be-
cause they brought a whole carload of
appliances with them. They seemed
to have had the time of their lives.
