GETS THE SIXTEEN HUNDRED Samson to Slay that Number at Den Monday Night. MISS MALONEY GETS BUSY while Rmnaon nereis nt Ht, Lonls, the Office lrl Prods Hnstllng Committer tn the Task nnd DrnRa In Slembera. 'Bad news from Omaha!" "What Is It, what Is It?" whispered Everett Buckingham nnd tho rest of the Ak-Sar-Ben governors at St. Louis when Secretary Dad Weaver lined them up ln the hotel and with n long face, remarked "fad news." "What la It? we're tired of waiting," they Insisted. "We have the 1.800 members of Ak-Sar- Ben for the opening night," was what Dad Weaver read from the telegram. And then and there Everett Bucking- bam, president of Ak-Sar-Ben let out of his lungs such a Comanche yell that tha Bt. loulslans gathered In the hotel, thought tho Indians of the Original Louisiana Purchase had returned. Long has Samson had his heart set on getting a membership of 1.60 for tho opening night of Initiation performance at the Den. The opening night is to morrow (Monday) evening, June 1. Things looked bad when Samson went to St. Louis to visit the Pageant and Masque. There were then something like 1,475 mem- bers. Wllllnk WorUern nt Home. On the way to St. Louis Dad Weaver scratched his head, and wondered whether the hustling committee at home would drag many members while he was away. "When tho cat Is awny," mused Weaver, and several times he was on the' point ot taking tliH next train back. For had he not promised himself and the wholn town that he Would have l.W) members for tho opening night at tha 7Jen? And was not tho opening night only a few lays awny? But while Samson scratched bis head and "blbblcd" about tho membership, tho cat was not wholly awny. Back at home In tho office at 1717 Doug- as street a surprise was browing. Mlsi Mnloney, tho efficient office gltnirBam- son, was worjilng her wits. Scarcely had tho St. Louis train swung out of the yards with a final "toot, toot" than Mlsa Malnncy telephoned to every member of the hustlers' committee. Worked n .Surprise. "The boss is out of town," she shouted excitedly. "Now won't you all Just work harder than you ever did in your lives? Wo Just must get this memberahlp up to 1,600 boforo he gets back, to surprise him." "3ure," came tho ready answer from several. Oh, but it wasn't so easy for Miss Moloney. Some of tho hustlers she found readily. Others wore out playing golf. Others were tending to their own busi ness, for oven members of the hustling commlttoo have to make a living between time. So It took the girl hours to get all of them on the phone. She was tired when she got through. But sho got the promise of nil of them that they would get Into the harness and work hard. - Thus from Wednesday night to Friday noon they tolled nnd at that time dragged In 125 new members. Miss Maloney kept tab. When the 125th name arrived; sho tallied ,up. Sixteen hundred even was tha result. She wired Samson nt St, Louis at once. So Monday evening the 1.C00 aro to be led to slaughter at the Den when the first rerformanco of tho year will take place.
