A Masonic GoAT.-In

A MASONIC GOAT.-In q
small village, not a thousand
miles from this place, says the
Sonoma Democrat, a.certain
divine, whose church isstrong-
ly opposed to secret societies,
announced, a few weeks ago,
that he would deliver a dis
course against Freemasonry.
The appointment was for Sat
urday night, and a large audi
ence came out to hear him.
Just as the speaker began to
warm up with his subject, a
lot ofboys went uptothe door
and showed in an old billy
goat and locked the door on the
outside. Now this old goat was
a notorious fellow. The boys
about town had teased and
"fooled" with him SO much
that he was always ION the
fight" When thrust into the
large company that composed
the audience of the reverend
speaker, he wasnot at all abash-
ed, but began looking around
for a foeman worthy Of his
horns. Soon he discovered the
speaker gesticulating in the
further end Of the room, and,
with a few preliminary mods,
. toasslre himself thatihis neck
was in good working order, he
made for him on the double
quick. 1t was as ifthe ghost Of
the traditioal Masonic goat
wasafter him. Dodging around
the pulpit he managed to elude
billy's well-aimed butts. Down
among the audience theycame
the pursued and the pursuer:
Women and children mounted
the benches, and such scene
of confusion and such a scene
of uproar is not often seen in
a solemn assembly. In the
meantime the boys were firing
a volley Of stones at the eud
Of the building. By a strate-
gic movement the goat was
caught and tied to a bench, the
congregation quieted down,
and the speaker resumed his
subject. Billy stood quietly for
a while, but when one of the
boys who knew his tricks, mo
toned to him, he began to
plunge and to rear to get at
him, creating about as much
confusion as before. When
the, door was opened all were
glad to get out except billy,
who felt that he had not had
half a show. .
