HOW ONE WOMAN ASTOEISHED HARDIN LODGE,


HOW ONE WOMAN AsTOEISHED HARDIN LODGE,
NO. 1922.
Richmond tMo.j CONSERVATORY
The brethren OF Hardin Lodge, No. 322,
on last Saturday night were treated to
surprise on n point not set down in the
books, and which, as an Interpretation OF
Masonic law, entirely sets aside all prece-
dents laid down by Oliver, Mackey, Moore,
Cross, Mitchell, or other learned writers on
Masonic rulings and usages. 1t seems that
there was candidate ia waiting to take
the second degree, and as the lodge mad
considerable business to transact and the
night was stormy, the gentleman con-
cuded to return home until such time as
it should please the lodge to take up his
case. When everything was ready bro
ther sSas sent to find him, who returned ana
reported that the candidate had gone home;
whereupon committee was appointed to
wait on the brother and inform him that
the lodge was now ready to proceed TO
business. The committee started out
through the snow and storm, and finally
arrived at the house Of the gentleman and
raped at the door, which was opened by
his wife, who was already dressed for the
night. The committee stated their business,
when they were politely but energetic
any IulOI tbS eLto - Nv
ent she had stronger grip on Mr.. K. than
the grip OF an entered apprentice; that the
lodge might do as it pleased, but, the Lord
willing, Mr.. x. was now about to retire
with Mrs. x" The committee, struck
dumb with establishment, formed in solid
procession and returned tothe lodge. Had
a bombshell fallen through the roof it could
not have created more confusion than the
report of the committee on the reply
Of the pIucky woman. The hair OF
the Worshipful Master stood upright,
g like quilts upon the fretful porcu-
pine. and his hat rose. three inches
above his head. The Senior Warden retired
from his position, and the Junior Warden,
in his excitement, called the craft from labor
to refreshment; the Treasurer slapped his
hand on his pocket-book, the Secretary up
SET his inkstand, the Deacons moved uu-
easily about, and the Tiler was heard to
drop his sword in the ante-room. But the
Joke WAS too good, and presently, rising to
the OCCASION, the brethren burst into roar
OF laughter which fairly shook the building;
after which order was restored, and the
lodge was closed in due form until such
time as Mrs. x. will allow Mr.. x. to take
the second degree.
