new members, On initiation night

Sunday night took on an inn
promptu tone of stunt night" at
Moose Home. "Cocky" Agin's fingers
began to itch and he began tickling
the ivories of the piano in the card
room. This seemed to make "Swipes"
Stoekton's feet itch, and he began
dancing jig. His success stimulated
Daddy" Hamill and he in turn
'shook a wicked hoof" to the edi-
fication of the other members pres
ent.
A visiting Moose from French
town joined the party and he proved
not onlv to he an nhle iigster him
self, but his little four-year-old
daughter was brought in from the
parlor where she was waiting with
her mother, and she proved TO be
clever little Charlestoner. She so
delighted the members that they
piled her generously with candies
and coins.
Mike Nigro then proceeded to do
stunt which nobody else was OPP
timistic enough to try. He balanced
filled glass on his head, and with
another filled glass in his right
hand, knelt, and slowly but surely
stretched face downward on the
floor; he drank from the glass in
his hand, took up coin from the
floor with his mouth, drank again
from the glass and again stood
upright without losing drop from
either the glass in his hand or the
one balanced on his head.
The informal good fellowship en-
joyed at the Moose Home is seldom
found in other fraternal organiza-
tions, and this is one of the chief
causes for the large classes being
inducted into the order during the
present membership drive.
