A LOCAL LAIR OF
ORDER OF SERPENT
Weird Society of Spanish War
Veterans Has an Inter-
esting History.
LARGE CLASS NEXT WEEK
MANY MEN WHO SAW SERVICE IN
PHILIPPINES WILL BE INITIAT.
ED At STATE ENcAMPMENT IN
RICHMOND.

And the Order Of the Serpent had
its birth.
1t was in the height OF the search
for Lieutenant Gilmore. when the
United States army was spreading its
drag-net throughout the length and
breadth of the Philippines and the
whole civilized world Joined in the
American prayer for the lives OF the
twenty odd marines who had been
carried away by the Moros, that the
mystic society perpetuated in the
ranks of the United Spanish War Vet
erans had its beginning.
Eight years ago the Gilmore party
was found and rescued after months
of frightful tortures that had thinned
it's ranks to a mere handful. The pub
lie has forgotten. Few know that
Clydus Riegel, Of 519 North Nine
teenth street. was member of the
troop that dispersed the savage Moros,
captured the terrible Khatte Puma,
the fanatical priests sworn to exter-
inmate the Americana, and led the
half-crazed marines back to the Ma
nila hospitals.
Origin Of the Order.
It was on this expedition that the
Order Of the Serpent was conceived,
and the rituals and insignia Of the so
ciety have a meaning far more terri
BILE than the modern Interpretation
placed upon them by the Spanish War
Veterans. The organization Is an
American version OF the Khatte Puma,
founded by Filipino priests to consu-
mate deeds of private vengeance and
secret hatred. and its existence was
never known until the party of which
Mr.. Riegel was a member burst sud
denly into a savage temple where a
meeting was in progress, and seized
the papers and insignia
AT first the bond OF Brotherhood
existing between members OF the res
cuing party was SO great that the
membership in this strange order was
confined to their numbers. But later
they found the same spirit existed in
the other Spanish War Veterans. The
papers were made the nucleus of a
great national organization, which has
| turned fury and vengeance into fun
and laughter. Khatte Puma stands for
fraternal feeling rather than secret
crime and hatred. Only the fit are
chosen for its membership.
With the coming of the state en-
campment of the United Spanish War
Veterans to Richmond next week
there will be many men who witness
ed the grim workings of the old or
ganization out there in the Philippine
swamps, and who are thankful they
are not there now with a Bolo knife
where their belt-plate should have
been. They are coming to attend the
encampment, but also to meet with
the Order of the Serpent and attend
the big initiation. Between fifty and
sixty candidates will be admitted
each to protrate himself before the
Shining Light of PagPago Zamboangs
and partake of the Exhiliarating Vir
us. The initiation is to be feature o1
the big gathering, and the old days oi
the chase after Gilmore and the tales
of Aguinaldo will be recounted anew
when the young Vets get together.

Clearing a Canyon of Glaciers

Climbing by dangerous route up
the iceolad cliffs of Ogden Canyon,
where the great avalanche wrought
such havoc a week ago, two expert
dynamiters after carefully drilling
holes into the thickest masses of the
glacier succeeded in loosening from
the mountainside a large portion of
the ice this afternoon. Owing to the
difficulties and dangers attached to
the work a second blast could not be
set to-day, and large masses OF fee
and snow still cling to the rocks and
make traffic through the canyon a
constant peril.
Ed Benson and Jack Callahan are

do the work of blasting after fruit

ers to hire men willing to risk the
danger. 1t is estimated that there IS
fully 500 tons of ice which will have

Jack was careful not to repeat the
blunder that had once led to an IN

about the great resemblance of Miss
Oxford and Clara.

rapidly giving way. Her cough grew
more troublesome than ever. and ex-

herself that there was a striking
likeness, but she could not help see

tage of being younger and fresher.
She was very lively girl. and Clara
thought that she firted decidedly too

much on her husbands account as on
general principles of feminine pro-

Clara's head was bent low over her
task and she did not speak.
He stopped forward good-naturedly
and lifted her face up by the chin.
She was flushed. and tears were glis-

what are you crying about?" he
asked.
Clara burst into tears-partly be-
cause OF her own overwrought feel

usual kindness of her husbands in

effect of making him angry and i'm

looking cheerful again. "But was
