“Ma’s up stairs changing her

girl, tying her doll’s bonnet strings
and casting her eye about for.R tidy
large euough to sarve as a shawl for
that, double jointed young person.
“Oh, your mother needn’t drees
up for me,” replied the femaleagent
of the missionary society, taking a

mirror. "Run up and tell her to
come down just as she is in her
every-day clothes, and not to stand
on ceremony.”
“Ob, but she hasn’t got on her
every-day clothes. Ma was all

’cause she expected Misa Dimmond
to-day. Miss Dimmond always

things, and ma don’t ' mean to get

THE BUXFEB DEGREE.
How the Bad Boy Initiated Hit Father
sad the Beeott Thereof.
A had boy in Peck's 5un gives the
following account of how himself
and a chum gave his father the
Royal Bumper Degree : “We weut
upstairs and- told pa to come up
pretty soon and give three distinct
raps, and when we asked him who
cornea there, he must say, ‘A pil
grim who wants to join your ancient
order and ride the goat.’ Ma
wanted to come up, too, but we told
her if she came up it would break
up the lodge, cause a woman
couldn’t keep a secret, ami we didn’t
have a sidesaddle for the goat. Say,
if you never tried it, the next time
you nitiate a man in your Mason’s
lodge, you sprinkle a little ky&n
pepper on the goat’s beard before
you turn him loose. You caaget
three times as much to the square
inch of goat Well, we got all
fixed, and pa rapped and we let him
in, and told him he must he blind
folded, and he got on his knees
a-laffing, and I tied a towel around
his eyes, and then turned him
around and made him get down'ibh
his hands also, and then his back
was right towards the closet door,
and I put a buck-beer sign right’
against pa’s clothes. He was a-latf-
mg all the time, and said we boya
were as full of fun as they made ’em,
aud we told him it was a solemn
occasion, but we wouldn’t permit no
levity, aud if he didn’t stop laflin
we couldn’t give him the gran
bumper degree. Then everythiug
was ready, and my chum had his
hand on the closet door and some
kyan peppq* in his other hand, and
I asked pa in low base tones if he
felt as though he wanted to turn
back, or if he had nerve enough to
go ahead and take the degree. I
warned him that it was full of dan
gers, as the goat was loaded for beer,
aud told him he yet had time to re
trace his steps if he wanted to. He
said he wanted the whole business,
aud we could go ahead with the
menagerie. Then I said to pa that
if he had decided to go ahead and
not blame us for the consequences,
to repeat me the following : ‘Bring
ibrth the Royal Bt*raper and let
him Bump !’ Pa repeated the words
and my chum sprinkled the kyan
pepper on the goat’s mustache, and
he sneezed once and looked sassy,
and he see the lager beer goat raring
up, and he started for it just like a
cowcatcher and blatted.' Pa is real
fat, but he knew he had got hit, and
he grunted and said : ‘Hell firs I
what are the boys doin’ f and then
the gnat gave him another degree.
•
Hades sure, and pa a§id be did’t
care, he would kill that cussed goat
afore he wait, and I told pa the
minister was ia the parlor, and he
and ma weut down aud said* the
weather was propttiooa for a revival,
and it Beamed as though an out- ,
pouring of the Spirit was about to
be vouchafed to Hi* people, aud
none of them sat down but ma,
’cause the goat didn’t hit her, tod’
while they were talkin’ religion with
their mouths and eussin’ the goat
inwardly, my chum and me ad
journed the lodge, aud I weut and
stayed with him all night, and I
hain’t been home since.”
Hew a lad-Ered Ysung Kan Purehased a
Pair of Garters.
«• __
“Did you ever go shopping for
women ?” inquired a sad-eyed young
man. “No? Well, I did once,
and I have had enough of it. You
sae, my landlady takes a motherly
interest in me, and talks to me iqst
as she would to her own son. You
may think thjsjs Titty. flattering ^
me, but I assure you it has its dis
advantages. The other morning
my landlady told me she lost one of
her garters coming home from the
concert the evening before, and
asked me to get her a pair on my
way down town. I thoughtlessly
consented. As I came down the
street I thonght I would go into
White’s. Having entered, I tried
to get my bearings by the litho
graphs on the walls, picturing all
sorts of feminine harness In active
service. As the lithographs began
to grow more interesting, I con
cluded that I was in about the lati
tude of garters, and halted at a
counter presided over by a young
woman with a mischievous eye.
That’s where I got into trouble. I felt
my face getting red, but I firmly
asked for a pair of garters, expect
ing her to hand them out forthwith.
‘What kind, please?’ said she in
the most insinuating toues. .
“ ‘Oh, something pretty good,’ I
replied, painfully conscious that my
ears were blazing red.
“‘But what style do you want?’
she rejoined, evidently gloating over
my misery. Then it noshed upon
me that there might be a hundred
styles, and how was I to know what
kind my landlady wore ? My first
impulse was to escape, but the door
was too far away, and, besides, my
errand seemed to have been tele
graphed to every one of those girl*,
all of whom were eyeing me. Due of ^
them had suddenly discovered that
the counter needed dusting, and
there she was, right where she could
hear everything I said. I asked
what styles were generally called
for, and the young lady began
describing them with a minuteness
that had onK increased my embar
rassment. There was the circular
kind,she said, and the suspender
garter attached to a waist belt, and
another kind that fastened to the
side of a corset, and then took down
a lithograph showing the manner of „
wearing that kind of harness. I was
in a worse fix than ever, and I ment
ally swore I’d do no more errands
for a woman. Here she was, ex
plaining all this toggery and belay
ing tackle, and expecting' me to
know what kind of standing rigging
my landlady.was fitted out with. I
looked at her in au appealing way,
hut she wouldn’t hein rue taa* « ,n '
