Bowser.
He was then draped at Napoleon and
was given a glass of sour buttermilk
to drink. He drank it off with the OBJ
servatfon that there were no flies on
him.
He was then seated on the keg, with
each bare foot in a pail of ice water
and told to look like Washington cross
Ing the Delaware. In the course of five
minutes Mr.. Bowser assumed q differ
ent expressions of countenance, but he
finally struck the right one at least
ana held 1t like a conqueror. There
was no cheering, however. The Gay
Old Boys never cheer. They show their
appreciation by their dignity and 81
lence.
AS the next step Mr.. Bowser was
ma ans he had fallen in love with be-
fore he was 20 years old. He promptly
named seven, but followed it by an
impassioned appeal that we should not
say anything to Mrs. Bowser. Upon
being asked if he was afraid of her he
denied that he was, but explained that
she had a little way of making him I'M
comfortable at times.
LAS the last step in Mr.. Bowser's ini-
tiation he was required to lie at full
length on his back on the floor while
40 members marched over him. This
was to show a proper humiliation OF
spirit. Each of the 40 halted for few
seconds and stood on the candidates

"Mr. Bowser was then seated in a
chair and poultice consisting of bran
and catnip was applied to his head he
passed the ordeal nobly.
He was then asked to stand on his
head to give his brains a new sensa-
ton. He hesitated for a moment, but
when informed that the Hon. Charles
Sumner and all others had willingly
complied with the regulation he up
ended himself.
There was a solemn and dignifed
silence while he stood on his head This
club has never yet forgotten its dig
nifty.
.sWhen Mr. Bowser's brains had thor
oughly enjoyed the novel situation he
was given a bowl of rice and two chop
sticks and requested to eat. He did
fairly we'll. Indeed, the few members
that yet doubted that he was game
old sport were by this time fully con-
WINGED that he was a good loser.
SThe next step was to request
speech from him on the bulwarks Of
American Liberty. This was to show
his familiarity with the principles of

That is, he mixed Columbus, Napoleon,
the Pyramids, Washington and the Bat
tie of Bunker Hill together, and once
or twice he started to say something
about Mrs. Bowser, but all things con-

were no roars of laughter.All about him
was silence and dignity. The Gay Old
Boys have never yet forgotten what is
due to themselves.
