They Honored Him.

As New York drummer entered q
village in West Virginia, by stage line.
q few days ago, he. found the people
greatly excited. A string band was
marching around town, several flags
were flying in the breeze. and it seemed
as if Fourth of July was at hand for
the second time. The drummer finally
inquired the cause of the commotion,
and was answered that one of the mer-
chants had failed.
''Why. is that q cause for rejoicingP"
he queried.
You bet! He failed for 81, 60o."
''WellPn
"Well. it's the first time in the his.
tory of this place that any of us ever
failed for over six bits, and we're going
to honor the occasion. Come and jine

An Amusing Incident.

AWashington correspondent, writing
to the New York Herald, says: An
amusing story is told of the mistake
that befel one of the new department
officials recently. Tho official referred
to halls from the boundless west, and
was only recently placed in charge of
one of the bureaus of a prominent de-
partment. He was very anxious to
become a member of the order of Odd
Fellows. Some of the members of the
order ascertaining this, his name was
proposed and no was accepted. The
next question was his initiation. He
was invited to appear at one of the
down town halls one evening last week
for initiation. One Of the rooms of the
hall referred to is also used by body
of Knights of Labor. Both hall rooms
arc on the second floor. The Odd Fell
lows turn to the right to reach their
room, while the Knights OF Labor turn
to the left. The same ante-room or
outside hall does duty for both orders.
1t appears that the Knights of Labor
expected q candidate. and they were
waiting for him. As soon as the gen.
tleman referred to reached the outer
door to the ante-room the outside gen.
tleman met him with a pleasant smile
and asked: care you 10 be initiated
Tonight" The official, supposing that
the sentinel did the outside business
for the Odd Fellows. answered that he
expected to have the honor" With
out any further waste of words the
outside sentinel informed his comrades
there was n candidate for initiation in
waiting. The doors were soon opened,
and the official was led into the initia-
tion-room. There was the usual chant
song, and the officers of the council
began reading their lessons, which are
read to all candidates for initiation.
The ceremony was more than half over
when the official suspended the further
proceedings by remarking to the wor-
shipful master in Il loud tone of voice:
al am the right man, but ! think from
what l have heard so far that am in
the wrong place; don't want to hear
any more lessons about labor, for I
have never worked day in my life
and never will as long as can hold |
Office. The worshipful master asked
him to explain, and the official asked.
''Is this an Odd-Fellows lodgeP" He |
was told that it was q council of the
Knights of Labor, but as he had all |
ready received about one-half of their |
work and secrets they would insist on |
his going through with the rest of it, |
and being bound by the consequences.
He demurrcd, saying that he was in |
some respects opposed to labor organ
izations; but the Knights were deter |
mined and the initiation was concluded. |
As soon as he got through he was
called upon for some remarks under
the head of the good of the order and
be made an interesting speech, prom
lsing that he might not be regular at
tsndant upon tho sessions of the coun-
ell, he would drop in occasionally.
De added that he would postpone his
initiation into the order OF Odd-Fellows
until he would be able TO have guard
ian appointed to conduct him to tho
right place the next time.
