She Couldn't standIr.

The K. P's. will all enjoy the story
started by the Waterloo Press which in
substance is about as follows: A young
lady of that city disguised herself in male
clothing and clerked for several months in
store, during which time she applied for
admission as Pythian and was intro
duced into the order. All went well until
the third degree was reached and then
came exposure. at seems" says the
Press, in the third they have an India
rubber rat and celluloid snake run by
clock work inside. which are very natural
indeed. This idea is to run them at the
candidate to see if he fi;nches When the
snake ran at the girl she kept her nerve
all right, but when the rat tried to Jump
up her trousers leg she grabbed her imag-
mary skirts and Jumped on table and
gave herself away. The members were
so charmed with her bravery that they
voted to omit the other trying ordeal az d
received her with open arms as a knight
tried and true.

No Right to Despair.
In the presence of the efforts of so
many generous minds we have no right
TO despair of our times. Let the state
protect the right OF legitimate association
among citizens, but take care not to in
interfere with the internal order and life
OF such movements. The real condition of
life Is that ID proceed from internal move.
ment Exterior conditions ought only to
facilitate pulsations having an internal
origin. These associations ought to be
administered by upright men, who in
difficulties and crises will fulfill the role
OF equitable arbitrators. The conclusion
OF all these complete questions is that
universal cooperation is necessary, and
that every body ought to help willingly un &.
