HOLD ON, DEvIL.-1n the early days OF
the State of Indiana, the capitol was Cory
don, and the annual session Of the General
Assembly usually brought together as wild
set Of mad wags as could be found in the
State, who had to rely on their resources for
amusement, for there were few theatres, con-
certs or shows. These lovers of mischief
had established mock Secret Lodge, into
which they would entice such as were lit
tie green. and take them through variety
Of ridiculous ceremonies to the crowd
On one occasion, it being understood that
q coed natured, athletic young man about
half a fimpleton, was to be initiated the
room was crowded Judge Grass (it being
a character in which he vas peculiarly hap
py) had consented to act the role Of the Dey
Il, and. to make the services more impressive
had put on false face. and large paper
cap surmountcd with horns. ard with some
chains in his hand, placed himself behind q
screen.
After taking the candidate through . va
riety OF ceremonies, he was brought to stand
before the screen, aad then told that he had
to confess all the crimes he had committed
during his whole life. The candidate con-
fesaed some trivial offences, and declared that
he had disclosed all the crimes he had ever
committed. Atthis the pretended devil be-
came furious, the chains ratified and he
shook tx EN- in the face Of the terrified cand
