 The above shown camel had varied career. It varied from the Mexican border to the Grand Canyon and way points. Everywhere the Shrine has been in years past there has been old ''hump back.

It is that highly necessary piece of machinery, which puts on the iestivItieS and makes the Novices feel they are really wanted and important
 flow important the Novices are go- ing to feel no one knows. It is q mat tes of conjecture which the world will prDhably never know and cares less apput, but the Patrol sees to it that they don't think too much.
 Laptain Norton and his crew Of blood tFnrsty pirates are all in readiness for the big doings- They have been prac- tSng day times and sitting up nights tos think up new tortures for the un- slspecting Novice. Of course every Novice has his suspicious as to what lss going to happen to him, but none ON those suspicious ever come up 10 expectations That is what the Patrol is1 for, to make a mountain out of "a mole hill and from all reports in the past they have succeeded admirably and completely.

 He's 3 bad hombre and he knows It. Volumes could be written about that Shrine goat, and whole libraries of testimony could be obtained as to the force with which he hits the unsus- pecting portions of the anatomy of the Novices.
 He is hard goat to deal with as whole legions of Novices have been made aware. He just travels around the country from Ceremonial to Cere- monial and he is always in shape. But a that he's n pretty good little goat. He does his work and does it well He never complains, nor does he whimper. Time after time his character has been assailed, but that happens to all goats.
 There is only one thing which makes him mad and that is to accuse him of being the father of Mary's little lamb. That's one thing he won't stand for. All Novices are warned to be carefuf about mentioning anything anent thaf said little lamb. For dt must be known the little lamb wasn't that kind of a goat.

PLANS FOR TEMPLE WILL BE SUBMITTED
 ID SHRINE MEETING

Shriners, the Temple is under way. Actual work on the excavation is now progressing satisfactorily after having been abandoned for few months The big hole in the ground is going down. down. and will reach the necessary level within a short time The con tract for the foundation and basement has been let and as soon as finished bids will be called for the super struc- ture.
 The size and extent of the TempIs IS sun problem. According to one prominent member of the committee it IS all matter of the amol11r CT money raised First plans proposed for the building called for a structure costing around S15O.000, but since the tremend- ous rise in building costs this has been 1ound inadequate. It is possible that the amount will be boosted to cove; an even larger and more elaborate building than at first contemplated
 The lot upon which the new Temple is to be situated is on North Central avenue. adjoining the School of Music. and represents an investment of $25,- 900. Since that time the value of the property has greatly increased.
 The present plans now contemplate one of the most beautiful buildings in the southwest, if not the most beauti- full edifice devoted to fraternal pur- poses. It is intended that all the Ma sonic orders shall have quarters there leasing from the Shrine until such time as the Masonic Temple is built.
