INITIATING A CAM DATE INTO
THE GOOD TEMPLARS.

The method of initiating a candi-
date into Lodge of Good Templars
is but slight improvement upon
the same programme SO long IN
vogue by the ancient and honorable
| fraternity of the sons of Malta. \
chap was taken from lager beer
saloon when he got tight" without
knowing that lager would intoXicate,
and was put through cold water
treatment by the Good Templars,
and gives the following exposure of
their initiation ceremony, for which
no doubt, he will be put through an
other course of cold water ''sprouts'
at the next meeting of the Lodge:
In the first place, the victim for
initiation is blindfolded, bound hand
and foot and thrown into a cider
press. where he is pressed for five
minutes. This is done for clearing
his system of ''old drinks" He is
then taken out of the cider-press,
and. by means of a force pump,
gorged with cistern water, after
which scaling plaster is placed
over his mouth. and he is rolled in a
barrel four or five times across the
room, the choir at the time singinga a
cold water song. He is now taken
ont of the barrel and hung by his
heels till the water runs through his
ears. He is then cut down and
beautiful young lady holds him a
glass of water. He is then made to
read the Water Works Actten times,
drinking a glass of cistern water be-
tween each reading. After this the
odd oaken bucket is hung around
his neck, and fifteen sisters with
squirt guns deluge him with cistern
water. He is then forced to eat a
peck of snow, while the brothers
stick his ears full of icicles. He is
then run through clothes wringer.
after which he Is handed glass of
cistern water by young lady. He
IS again gorged with cistern water,
and his boots filled with the same.
and then he is laid away in refrig-
orator. The initiation is almost
concluded. After remaining in the
refrigerator for the space of half an
hour, he is taken out and given a
glIss Of ciStern water. run through
clothes wringer, and becomesa Good
Templar.
