We had one fellow, though, a chap
who is now earning a salary OF $1,000
year while his father receives the
largest salary of any man in the
United States, who was too much for
even us. We had a society in which
the initiation ceremonies were some
thing frightful, including. among 9TH
er pleasing features, a coffin, in which
the Initiate was buried That is. we
put him in it and nailed on the lid
there were air holes in it that we did
not know about, and then with ropes
we let him down through the floor to
the next floor, where we had a pile OF
ashes, which were shoveled onto the
coffin in a way which was really
blood-curdling to the man inside.

came, which was Saturday night. he
was what he was every SATURDAY night,
so full that he couldn't come to the

o'clock in the morning he was seen
Keeling upstairs to his room, and thith-
er We followed him. carrying the ooffiu

anything, and by the time We got into
his room. after giving him what We
thought was time TO get into bed, he
was sound asleep.
I'VE weren't very particular how
much noise we made. and. after knock
ing things around pretty lively, We
had set the coffin upon some chairs,
and then lifted him out of bed and laid
him in 1t, putting in blanket to make
it easier on him. Then we withdrew to
think over what he would think when
he walked up in the morning and found
where he was. I guess ! must have
been more curious on the point than
the others, for as soon as got up I
slipped over to his room to get a place
to watch him when he came to him

more or less OF horror.
Not In the slightest" continued the

"Of course" he concluded, " it was
on us rather than on him. but he eX-
