couragement, applied most effectively
by the parents of the young members.
What the passwords and signs of
recognition of the members was could
not be learned, as they were as firmly
bound as cOnspirators or the James
boys with their blood-curdling oaths
and vows. 1t is supposed by the par
ents that the idea of forming such a
society terminated in the mind of some
of the readers of the pamphlets with
startling titles, which deal with the
careers of such western heroes as Jesse
James, Apache Kid" and "Broncho
Bill" The boys being sworn to secrecy,
the working of the organizations was
learned from the parents, who were
not members and so were free TO talk.
In addition to having fully organ
lied societies, the boys had lodgerooms
OF new and startling character, says
the Chicago Chronicle. Near the inter
sections of Calumet avenue and Fiftieth
street and Indiana avenue and Fifty
first street they dug caves capable of
holding about IL or Is, and there they
congregated to hold their sessions
every evening.
When the people living in the neigh
borhood found that the caves were IN
danger of collapsing any moment they
took the law into their own hands and
by the use of shovels destroyed the
quarters of the young club members.
Later when the parents of any youth
learned their young hopeful was a
member he was requested to resign, and
the loss of membership so weakened
the societies that they have gone into
the hands of receiver.
The officers of the clubs stoutly pro-
tested that they were organized for a
good purpose and that the aim and OBJ
jects of the gatherings were TO incul-
cate into the hearts and minds of the
members n desire for the best and most
classic literature at their command.
But as their arguments were out
weighed by the persuasive eloquence OF
their mothers they bowed their heads
and gave acquiescence to the maternal
will.
The caves have been wrecked, the
regalia destroyed and the proud spirits
of the members humbled. They have
almost lost faith in the good judgment
of their parents.
