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 ' help me then au inspiration of gen to me. ‘What kind wo'Jj most likely tb lose off in t I asked in my most iunoc That girl with theduste t- V , } -Rr ' Vf • ' • v" - '-A started for the stairs, aud so did the goat, and ma was at the bottom of the stairs listening, and when I looked over the banister* pa and ma and the goat were all in a heap, and pa was yelling murder and ma waa screaming fire, and the goat was blalting and sneezing and butting, and the hired girl came into the hall, and the goat took after her, and she crossed herself just as the goat struck her, and said : ‘Howly mother, protect me f and went dowa •lairs the wny we boys slide down hill, with both hands On herself, and the goat rared «p and blatted, and pa and ma went into their room and shut the door, and than me and mv chum opened the front door and drove the gnat out.
