beads of "Germs , BudB , Blossoms , _ Seeds , "
tvltti no mo characteristic peculiarities at- *

"This , " remarked n leading society woman ,
"was evidently intdnclcd ns n howlmgly
funny practical jolto , which If you do not cor-
aially receive with shouts of laughter , you
inalto painfully apparent your lack of u doll-
cnto sense of humor.
"Tiioro Is somewhere in our midst nn al
leged wag whoso fort'j IH to trca'.o.all women
familiarly , Insinuating all manner of things
in exceedingly bad last nnd falling short ot
common decency oy actually classifying gentle -
tlo women after this fashion.
"Undoubtedly , with n nature so conrso as
to admit of the thought , the execution Is
almplo enough And the sympathetic cackle ot
nb imbecile of equal proportions Is all the
encouragement necessary.
"Omaha should have grown of n size to
fonder unwarrantable jokes which ovou in
the roughest mining camp would only glvo
rlso to laughter with n distinctly false ring.
And thcro should bo no town small enough
to license the light Una of n woman's ' nnmo

Practical Jokes especially of this nature have
BO far passed the bounds of taste ns to bo in-

"Although they appear to bo quite the

laughter phonld reward the humorous Incli

grown odious boyonu expression ,
"Tho taking up of such u novelty without
the excuse ot tlio slightest veneer and lloat-
Ing it gloriously on the sea of social favor Is ,
to speak evasively , n decided faux pas. It
encourages the unbalanced to nti effort whoso
result robs him of the ono claim ao has on

An organized effort will bo made by the

Is not necessary to dwell on the

A Screeching Karoo.
The following is taken from' the lost issue
of the Masonio Review :
"Tho latest ( back counties not hoard from )
order to attach itself to the Masonio institu
tion is the 'Independent International Order
of C Vis , ' of which 'Nest No. "Mias just been
instituted at Cairo , 111. No man can bo made
an 'Owl' who has not ifirst been made a
Mason. Symbolic Masonry will soon bo coin-
polled to publish a directory in order to keep
up.with the precession. With Cerneaus ,
Snriners nnd Owls , Masonry is fast becom
ing a 'screeching farce.1 " The Tyler.
Pertinent to the above wo nro reminded
that some time ago wo tnado In these pages
the statement in substance that "the Mystic
bhnno is not now ( then ) regarded as a Ma
sonic body , but how long uoforo it will bo so
recognized wo nro not able to say. " For
making this statement wo were brutully as
saulted ( with a pencil ) and threatened with
most diru conscauencos ; in fact , there was
no end to the terrible things some person was
Kolngto do to us.
Now , what is the factl Simply this : The
Mystlo Shrine exhibition which took place
at the close of the northern jurisdiction
Scottish rite reunion in this city during the
present month was paragraphed SB the
lilting and crowninjjclose of the "Masonio ( I )
jubilee of the week. "
For a while the Shnno was nn aside a
good-fellowship concern ) then it grow to bo
u contingent of Masonry , and at last it
assumed the role or principal and Masonry
is thp contingent of the Shrine the Shrine
being the right hand of the northern juris
diction rite in this jurisdiction , and is using
the northern jurisdiction rite nnd the
Knights Templar society us u fulcrum for
Its lover to overcome the fabric of Ancient
Craft Masonry. The facts all point this
way. While Master Masons are degraded
for "conscience sake" in every ledge in
Ohio , these Mohammedans and Scottish
chiefs , who hold the reigns nnd the whips
and ply the spurs arc the in full fellowship
with the powers that bo of the grand lodgo.
They speak , nud it is done ; they command ,
and it stands fast ; while just and upright
Masons aro.shamofacod . nnd drop their
leads as their oppressors pass by ,

Awaiting the touch of a little Hand ,

And they wondered , as waiting these long

In the dust of'that llttlo chair.
