What shall do with my fur capep'
an anxious damsel was overheard by
Pittsburg Chronicle reporter inquiring
of a druggist lately. II have been
away on visit and there have been
moths in my friends wardrobe. for
first | found one little bare place in
my cape where there ought 10 have
been fur, aud now there Is another and
am in despair
III Is useless TO try 10 find moths in
fur cape was the druggists answer.
'but take big bottle of gasoline and
Haturate your cape with il. Then roll
il up IN paper for day OF two. and
YOU will find no more bare spots unless
YOU go visiting and hang II in the same
wardrobe.
"BuI | am afraid Of gasoline
Yes. IL Is dangerous when used
carclessly, but ii you treat your cape
TO It's gasoline bath In room without
fire and with open windows, YOU are
entirely safe, except from odor; there
is no escaping that for few hours at
least
Gasoline seems To- be about the only
remedy which can be applied with dis
patch aud certain effect when moths
are discovered invading a valuable fur
garment, and In this season of fur IL is
well to bear the remedy IN mind.
Surely furs were never so fashion
able as now; and II you would be Ia
style ut least one fur garment must be
found in your wardrobe.
Aud. really IL makes very little diff
ference whether IL Is dainty little
Asirachan shoulder cape, costing from
Ga 60 $50. or sealskin mantle. trim
med with Russian sable. which the
dealer assured you was bargain at

mznding location. watched the process
OF Initiating candidate into the mys-
terles OF the order. They could not see
the whole performance. but they saw all
Its principal features. aud their account
OF Ii Is faithfully given below.
The Candidate, about whose. ewes
bandage had been tied, was marched
around the room several times and led
mp In front Of the official at the further
end, presumably the Wee Some. hing. or
Other. where he appeared to take an
obligation of some kind. He raised his
right arm aud extended IL upward to its
full length. He held IL there so long
that IL began 10 get tired and IL dropped
q little. A watchful brother stepped up
behind him aud pushed the arm up. lilo
held IL straight up again for a little
while aud again IL began to droop.
Then II was pushed up again. and every
time tho poor fellow let his arm down
ever so little somebody showed Il 40.
AT last he couldn't stand Il any longer
aud dropped his arm TO his side. His
tormentors then led him to some part Of
the lodge room out OF the range OF the
watchers vision.
When next he came IL sight. a few
minutes later he was nttircd In his shirt.
drawers, aud socks. All his outer gar.
ments had been rcmoveds la this airy
uniform he was led still blIndfolded. into
the ma jestic presence OF the same official
that had administered the obligation TO
him. This worthy rose up, aud the two
confronted each other for about ten
minutes. the time being occupied, seem.
ingly In the delivery OF long charge
or lccturs. The candidate shifted un.
easily from one foot TO the other. as II
impatient to have IL over. III he had
known what was coming ho might not
have been Ia such hurry. But this
part OF the ceremony came TO an end NJ
last. His conductors turned bim about
and he seemed TO fall on his knees.
The brethren gathered round him so
thickly that the watchers could not sec
what they were doing with him. but 10
was certain they were not putting any
moro clothes on him. for when he was
permitted 90 rlse he was seen 10 be In
the same deml.tollet as before.
He was next conducted around the
room. brother holding him by each
arm. A blanket or rug had been brought
out from some mysterious recess In the
lodge room, and as he walked along this
was spread out on the floor IN front OF
him. Whenever he stepped on u Ia the
course OF his rambles IL was jerked vlo-
lcnlly out from under him and down he
went. being saved from sitting hard on
the door BY the brethren who had hold
OF his arms. They jerked him up
again. This performance was repeated
half dozen times or moro. the brethren

making II pleasant for the candidate

Meanwhile a jealous brother with an

a terrific storm was assisting az the iniii-
alton. Another Jealous brother tapped

This portion OF the ceremony over the
candidate was permitted TO rest few
moments A dozen or SO Of the mem
bcrs took oft their coats and prepared
for the serious business that was 10 fol-

times more and conducted him to a plat

This stand was near the center OF tho
room. They lifted him up aud stood
him on top OF IL. The brethren who
had taken their coats of brought out a
big blanket and held il stretched on,

room again. and stalwari brother. who
had taken his position behind the
candidate. gave him quick push and
tumbled him headlong into the blanket
