HONORING late SECRETARY

The Shrine at Fargo has issued a
booklet and ceremonial announce
me1t dedicated to the memory of the
late Frank J. Thompson of Fargo,
published by a committee of the Ma
sonic order. 1t is largely composed
of the humorous, philosophical say
ings, poems and witty remarks of the
late Frank Thompson, recorder and
illustrious potentate. The collection
dates back as far as May 10, 1892.
The little volume is interesting to
every Mason and the excellence and
unique character of the contents
made the late Recorder Thompson
a national reputation. The book is
composed of three parts-announce-
ments, poems, sermons and wittic-
isms. Mr.. Thompsons work for the
Shrine and the order which he loved
has become indelibly impressed upon
the historic records of the society, as
well as his personality upon the men,
cries and affections of those who
survive him in the flesh.
