 VERY PROUD OF
 HERF|NE PATROL
Well-Drilled Organization Will Be In Hand Tonight
 To Escort Timid Novices Across The Burning Sands

The patrol of the Shriners for Fl Zaribah Temple is composed of the livest of the live. For the past couple of months this organization has been drilled in the performance Of their du- ties. and Captain Norton promises that he will have the patrol on hand this afternoon and evening to hand out to the novices what all the nobles of the mystic shrine expect the said novices Co receive.
 The organization is well versed in the gentle art of torture and inflicting pain upon the hapless bodies of their victims. Neither the fierce Apaches of our own North America nor the terrible Bedoins of the mighty Sahara can give this body of blood thirsty and violent minded young men any pointers on elicitins shrieks of pain and yielps for mercy from their inveterate enemies.
 The patrol is composed of the follow ing men, chosen as members of this band through their utter callousness to human suffering. and blood d-thirsty proclivities in general: pr. D. n. Northrupp, George Mintz, Jack Tag gert Doc Hess. J. NJ. Kellogg, Charles Urben, Bco Emery, John T. Dunlap, Guy Lawrence, A. c. Fletcher, Fred Hart smith Chittick. Joe Starke, Lee Sutherland, Harry Vadder, A. IT, Me Clellan, Jack Thornton. O. D. Leach. J. q. Ilammons F. O. Carlisle, Doane Merrill. Chris Lee. Rick Volk, B. F. Marks. Charles Heath. l.. T. Carpenter, George Stewart. Fred Weber, NJ. H. McCalla and William Simpson.
 Never before in the history of the local temple or in fact. of any temple. has the patrol been more willing and more faithful in it's endeavor to ut terly eXterminate all novices brought before them. although the patrol this year proposes to do this in a very ar tistie and effective manner for the benefit and edfication of the nobles of the shrine.
 All members of the patrol are chuck full Of pep and simply 'rarin' to go." Those who were not full of pep when the patrol was organized have since received copious installations of the necessary ingredient from the captain of the band or it's members.
 Trained to the minute. and in the very pink of condition the patrol mem- bers ceased heavy training last night and are only doing light work at pres cnt so as Co be in top-notch condition for the huge affray which is sure to materialize when they are turned loose on the fifty odd novices this afternoon and evening. However. the result of inc mill is not in the least in doubt Such things only have one ending. and clearly demonstrate the superiority of organization and training over mere numbers. The novices will all be cap- tured in short order and then the tortures will begin. The grewsome habit of the wild Iroquois Indians ol this continent of kinding fires upon the supine bodies of their captives pals into insignificance beside the tortures which have been arranged for the novices this evening. Nay. even the savage custom of the Bedoin tribes of Arabia, of stalking their victims out on the desert where they may be de- voured by rowing. roaring lions, does not begin to compare with what has been scheduled for this evening by the patrol.
 Such things as being submarined torpedoed and then ship wrecked upon a barren desert island. where the rovins caravans of the canibal tribes capture and sell their victims as fresh meat arc mere trifles to what will take plac, this evening in this civilized city. Yea the trip across the hot sands of the des-
