the board wishes. II the majority of the
board puts the o, K. him, the minority will
talk about the "cussedness OF that bulI-headed
Dutchman." All of which is in the game and Gus
smiles, for he knows that the next time the fol-
lows who called him bull-headed may be for him.
Gus is long on ideas, and the board gets the
benefit of his numerous suggestions for initiation
features and parades. He claims to be originator
OF the mo initiation" idea in 1904, in which year
the order had the largest number of members in
its history 1t was this way. according to RENEE:

came along and asked what was going on | could
just as we'll have told him that we were talking
about the attempted assassination of the car OF
Russia, but said, Haven't you heard the latest.
We are not going to have any initiation this year.
No? Quit, you're kidding. was what he said
ON the square, told him, we have decided
that 1t would be good thing to try for year.
He spread the report. Pretty soon Dad
Weaver and some others came alorIy and asked
about It.
Sure, said. We have had limitations until
everybody is tired Of them and we're going to try
a new wrinkle
But we won't stand for IT, said Weaver
We've got to have initiation
II told him II was too late that the board had
made all arrangements and had gone to big ex-
pense to put in other attractions. told him we
were going to put in bowling alley and billiard
tables and some card games and other amusements
OF that nature and we thought 1t would draw more
members than the usual initiation
Weaver said he didn't believe It and was GO

Allen, and when Weaver got down there things
were ready for him. He came away believing my
story
In day or two the newspapers printed a
story to tho effect that other amusements would
be substituted for the initiation that year. and here
was the chance for all those to Join who were
afraid OF being initiated.
All the members OF the board fell in with

lions that year We had and initiated hundreds

It may be taken for granted that there is no family that does not some time need a laxative. If you don't know of a good laxative, or the laxa- tive you are using is losing its effect, we want to call your attention to Dr. CaldwelPs Syrup Pepsin, which thou sands of families are using success fully.
 We have scores of letters from mothers, and scores from prominent men saying they are using it person ally and giving it to their families, men like Mir C. K. Smith of the Traffic Clearing House, Pine Bluff, Ark, and MT. George B. Turner, a lawyer of Harlan, Ky.
