But a short tins since a number OF
Wheeling MssOns paid visit to the Ma
sonic body OF a neighbOring city, and while
there one Of the good brethren of the local
lodge, whom we will call Criss, gave a
short and interesting account of mis- exper-
fence in joining lodges. One instance be
mentioned especially, and his story ran as
follows:
II have Joined thirteen lodges in my
life, and was never scared but once, and
that was in the first lodge ever joined.
was young man at the time, and 1 came
to the conclusion TO join lodge OF which
one Of my most intimate friends was a
member.
~ spoke 10 him Of my desire but he
gave me set back by telling me that none
bat Americans could become members.
That set me to thinking how l could be-
come an American, and when l went home
got out the dictionary and found that
the definition of American was red man.
l saw the point at once and decided to
Join the order of that name at once, and
so get on an equal footing with my friend.
A number of my friends and acquaintance
were members of lodge, and l knew they
would show me through all right and as
easy as possible.
Il sent in my application, was elected and
notified to appear at lodge the next time the
moon would be on high, to be initiated. l
went and was cordially received by friend
who was engaged in making me feel that l
would be slipped through into the order in
d free and easy way, hut all at once my
thoughts were scattered as by whirl wind.
The door was quietly opened and l was
chueked bodily into the lodge room, quick
er than I knew my feet could take me.
"The room was awful dark and only for
the glimmering of the campfire l would
have been unable to perceive anything.
But did sea some big Injuns with large
butcher knives and cleavers and other such
implements and l knew those things were
better intended to chop up beef than to be
used on me, and you bet 1 was
frightened especially when the braves
were rushing towards me, and l wrung
nv hands in despair and cried
once more that if they would let
me out I would never come back. Bat
soon learned than on Injured man takes
back anything when he swops, and they
were not going to let me out when I had
dropped in to become a brave. so they mi
tiated me and not only made me red
man, but an American, which I know
from the fact that l have since joined the
lodge my friend said name bat Americans
could become members OF.
