A Female Knights of Pythias.

A woman in Bay City, Mich,
disguised herself as a man and
clerked in a store for a year and
then applied for membership in
the Knights of Pythias and was
initiated. During the work of the
third degree her sex was disco
vered. It seems that in. the third
degree they had an India rubber
rat and celluloid snake, which
ran by clock work inside, and
which was very natural indeed.
The idea is to let them run at the
candidate to see if he will finch.
When the snake ran at the girl
she kept her nerve all right, but
when the rat tried to run her
trousers leg, she grabbed up her
imaginary skirts il both hands
and jumped into a refrigerator
that was standing near, which is
used in the fourth degree work,
and screamed bloody murder.
This girl is a member of the Or
der, however, and there is no help
for it. This affair may open the
eyes of secret societies and cause
them to investigate. One lodge
here, we understand, takes precau-
tions against the admission of a
woman by carefully examining
the feet of the applicant. If the
feet are cold enough to freeze ice
cream, the candidate is blsckball-
