LODGE GOAT Is BUSY
Winter the Harvest Season of Most
Secret Societies.
More Members Join Then Than Mt
Any Other Time of the Year-Con-
siderable Horse Play Prnc-
ticed in Some Orders.

During the cold months of winter is
the harvest time of the lodges and Sc
eret society organizations. Now is the
time when these institutions get the
greatestattention from the men. There
is no golf, bicycling for pleasure, horse
back riding, yachting or scarcely any
outdoor pleasures whatever.
Although there was never in all prob
ability never any fact upon which to
base the old time-honored fiction about
the candidate riding goat on the
might of his initiation into secret So
ciety, yet the goat-riding feature will
very likely be attributed to this cere-
mony by the uninitiated for all time to
come. 1t goes without saying that in
the more important secret societies the
initiation ceremonies are conducted
with considerable dignity yet from all
that has been said and written upon
the subject it would seem that the be-
lief is warranted that at least in some
of these fraternities the initiation cere-
monies are attended with number of
odd features. There is also little doubt

Occasionally the newspapers chron-
icle injuries said to have been received
by men in initiation into this or that
lodge, but it is noticeable that the fra
ternities mentioned in connection with
these stories are not those of the high
Dst standing. One of the last incidents
of this character occurred out in Iowa.
An initiate was badly injured, SO ran
the story, by being seated in chair
into the bottom of which electric cur
rents were run. The initiate was kept
| in this electric chair SO long that he
was seriously burned and shocked BY
the electricity.

Chronicle, are those which tell of the
use of imitation knives, ice, hot irons
etc. One story which used 10 be com
monly related was that which told
of an apparently horrible jump which
initiates were compelled to take. Ac.
cording TO this story the blindfold
was taken from the eyes of the initiate
and he found himself standing at the
edge Of a deep hole at the bottom oil
which. he beheld scores of glitterine
sharp knives. Then the initiate was
told that he must jump upon these
knives. His feet were barred to give
the knives better chance TO cut and
he was then ordered to jump. If the
candidate demurred he was then
pushed over the edge to his fate. The
sufferings of the candidate all took
place while he was falling through the
air toward the knives. for when he
landed he found that the glitterine
knives were made of rubber and that
his bare feet found no difficulty in turn.

The red-hot iron, which of course
looked very forbidding from a dis
tance, received its ruddy glow from a
coat Of paint, and the candidate was
agreeably surprised to find when il
touched his skin the flesh failed tc
burn. Another old game said to have
been worked with more or less frequen
cy upon initiates was the use of sharr
pieces of ice. These were used, accord
ing to the story, while the blindfolc
was over the eyes of the candidate
Every ruse was used to make the candi

iron. His back was barred and near

were being heated in a charcoal fur
mace. Often an iron was actually heat

ception. Finally. when all was ready
the iron, or something else hot, wa
brought near the face of the candidat
to let him know that the red-hot brand

Springer, for many years representa-

Springer was frequent speaker in
