fellow, or anything" asked the bad
boy OF the grocery man, as he went
to the cinnamon bag on the shelf and
took out long stick of cinnamon
bark to chew. I ,us ST. -. .s. .n..
yes, of course 1 am, but
what set you to thinking of that"
asked the grocery man, as he went TO
the desk and charged the boys father
with half a pound of cinnamon.
swell, do the goats bunt when
you nishiats q fresh candidate?"
1hn mo, of course not. The goats
are cheap ones, that have no life,
and we muzzle them, and put pillows
over their heads, so they can't hurt
anybody says the grocery man, as
he winkcd ut n brother Odd Fellow
who was seated on sugar barrel,
looking mysterious. ''But why do
you ask?'
80, nuthin, only wish me and
my chum had muzzled our goat with
a pillow. Pa would have enjoyed his
becoming q member of our lodge
better. You see, pa had been telling
us how much good the, Masons and
Odd Fellers did, and said we ought
to try and grow up good so we could
1ine the lodges when we got big, and
asked pa if it would do any hurt for
us to have a play lodge in my room,
and purtend to nishiate, and pa said
1t wouldn't do any hurt. He said it
would improve our minds, and learn
us to be men. So my chum and me
borried goat that lives in livery
stable. Say, did you know they keep
goat in u livery stable so the horses
went get sick? They get used to the
smell the goat, and after that
nothing can make them sick but a
glue factory. 1 wish my girl boarded
in q livery stable, then she would get
used to the smell. went home with
her from church Sunday night, and
the smell of the goat on my clothes
made her sick to her stummick, and
she acted just like an excursion on
the lake, and said if / didn't go and
bury myself and take the smell out
of me she wouldn't never 20 with me
again. She was just as pale as a
ghost, and the perspiration on her lip
was just zif she had been hit by
street sprinkler. You see my chum
and me had to carry the goat up to
my room when pa and ma was out
riding, and he blatted so we had to
tic handkerchief around his nose,
and his feet made such noise Oh
the floor that we put some baby's
socks on his feet. Gosh, how frowy
a goat smells, don't it? ] should
think you Masons must have strong
stummix. Why don't you have
skunk or mule for trade mark.
Take a mule, and annoint it with
limburgcheese and you could initiate
and make candidate smell just as
bad as with gosh darn widowed
goat. Well, sir, my chum and me
practiced with that goat until he
could bunt picture of goat every
time. We borried q buck beer sign
from saloon man, and hung it on
the back of q chair, and the goat
would hit it every time. That night
pa wanted to know what we were
doing up in my room, and / told him
we were playing lodge, and improv-
ing our minds, and pa said that was
right, there was nothing that did
boys of our age half so much good
as TO initiate men, and store by
useful nollidge. Then my chum
asked pa if he didn't want to come
up and take the grand bumper de-
I gree, and pa lated and said he didn't |
care if he did, just TO encourage us
boys in innocent pastime, that was
SO improving to our intellex. We
had shut the goat up in closet in
my room, and he had got over blat-
ting, SO we took off the handkerchief,
and he was eating some of my paper
7 collars, and skate straps. We went
o up stairs, and told pa to come up
pretty soon and give three distinct
1aps, and when we asked him who
comes there he must say, ca pilgaric
who wants to- join your ancient order
and ride the goat Ma wanted to
come up too, but we told her if she
4 come in it would break up the lodge,
cause woman couldn't keep
secret, and We didn't have any side
saddle for the goat. Say, if you
never tried it, the next time you
initiate man in your Mason s lodge, /
you sprinkle little kyan pepper on
