TuRBANED HORDE 0vlRRUN HELPLESS TOWN

This morning a few turbaned scouts began appearing in town preparing for the invasion of our town by a drove of Donkeys that soon over ran the whole dingbus- ted place. Through a mistake in spelling, which Will Ettle,on : made on a big sign, people called the bunch Dokeys. but we know they were donkeys because they had the High Potentate of the Monumental Jackasses" along and he had long ears like all the Donkey family. and a big part of the others were belled with reg ular COW bells before they were turned out nf The pasture. and never stopped ringing them from the time they struck town till they left for Fort smith on the midnight train.
 Lots of people didn't know what had struck town couldn t classify the animals. They are the part of the Knights of Pythias especially devoted to making noise and hilarity. and believe me. they are onto their jobs. The heavens still reverberate with the racket and the earth still shakes with the laughter they produced. For fear those work ing in the stores would not get their full share of noise. 8 bunch of them circled through the stores jsngling their COW bells: They circled through our office till we had to stop our ears. We started to order them out but they didn't look like they could understand English and our voice was too weak to bray above their noise.
 The object q their visit was to stir up greater interest in Pyth- ianism and build up the member ship of the local lodge. The ob- ject will be fully attained. Nv cry young man and kid in town were captivated by the gorgeous uniforms and perfect drill work of the officers and team. and the animals and giant they brought with them and made a VOW to join upon their first opportunity. The great danger is that kids un- der age will mlsrepresent their ages to get in and the order will become too "kidish" and drive the more serious and solid mem- bership away. This danger was emphasized by the bunch of new recruits they led ::through the streets tied to a rope this evening and initiated tonight Kids like Mag Montague. Dr. Porter. Bill Ransom.
