* a a oe Initiated in Masonry. THE BAD HOY GIVES HIS FATHER THE) ROYAL BUMPER DEGREE. | wish me and my chum had muzzled eur goat with a pillow. Pa would have enjoyed his becoming a member of our | paini lodge better. You see, pa has telling us how much good the Masons and Oddfellows did, and said we Ought | to try and grow up good as we could jine the lodges when we got big, and | asked pa if it Would do any hurt fer us to have a play lodge in my reom at pretended to nishiate, and pa said wouldn't do any hurt. He said it woul improve our minds to learn men, Somy chum and me borrowed a goat that livesina livery stable, and carried him up to my room when pa and ma was out riding, but the goat blatted so we had to tie a han ikerchiet around his nose, and his feet mace such a noise on the floor, tbat we put some baby’s socks on his feet. Well, my chum and me practiced with that goat until he could butt a picture of a goat every time. We borreweda buck beer sign of a saloon man aod hung it on a chair, and the goat would hit it every time. That night pa wanted to know what we were doing up in my room, and | told him we were playing lodge and improved our minds, and pa said that was right. There was nothing that did boys of our age half so muc h good as to imitate men, and store by useful nollidge. Then my chum asked pa if he didn’t want to come up and take a grand bumper degree, and pa laffed and said he didn’t care if he did, just to encourage us boys in innoceot pastime, that was so improving to our intellect. We had shut the goat up in my reem, and he had got over his blat- ting, so we took off the handkerchiet, and he was eating some of my paper collars and skate straps. We went up stairs and told pa to come up soon and give three distinct raps, and when we ask him who comes there he must say, “a pilgrim who wants to join your ancient order and ride the goat.” Ma wanted to come up too, but we told her if she come in it would break up the lodge, cause a woman couldn't keep a secret, and we didn’t have any side saddle for the goat. Say, ef you never have tried it, the next time you initiate a man in your Masous lodge, you sprinkle a little kyan pepper on the geat’s beard just before you turn him loss. You can get three times as much to the square inch of goat. Well, we got all fixed and pa rapped, and we let him in and told him he must be blindfolded, and he got on his knees a Jaffing, and I tied a towell around hiseyes, and then] turced him around and made him get down on his bands also, and then his back was right toward the closet dovr, and I put the buck beer sign right sgainst Pa’s clothes. He wasa laffing ali the time, and said we boys were as full of fun as they made ‘em and we told him it was a solemn occasion, but we couldn’t permit no levity, and if he dinn’t stop lafling we could give him d it | 1 us to de sir, the grand bumper degree. Then everything was ready, and my chum had his hand on the closset door, and some kyan pepper in his other hand, and I asked pa in a low bass tones, he felt as though he wanted to turn back, or if he had nerve enough to go ahead and take the degree. I warned him that it was fullof dangers, as the goat was loaded for beer, and told him he yet had time to retrace his steps if he wanted. He said he wanted the whole buisness, and we could go ahead with the menagarie. ThenI said to pa that if he had decided to go ahead, and not blame us for the consequences, tg repeat after me the foliowing; “bring forth the royal bumper, and let him bump!” Pa repeated the words, and my chum aprinkled the kyan pepper on the goat's moustache and he sneezed once and looked sassy, and then he sees the lager beer got raring up and he started for it just like a cow catcher and blatted, Pa is real fat, but he knew he had got hit and he grunted and said: ‘ Hello! what you boys doin’?” and then the goat gave him another degree, and pa pulled off the towel and got up "and started for the stairs, and so did the goat, and ma was at the bottom of the stairs listening, and when I looked over the banisters paand maand the goat were all in a heap, and pa was yelling murder and ma Was screaming fire and the goat was blatting and sneezing and butting, and the hired girl came into the hall and the goat teok after her, and she crossed herselt just as the goat struck her and said: “ Howly mother, pro- tect me!” and went down stairs just the way we boysslide down hill, with both bands on herself, and the goat rared up and blatted, and pa and ma went into their room and shut the door and then my chum and me opened the front door and drove the goat out. The minister who ¢omes to see ma three times a week was just ringing the bell, and the goat thought he wanted to be nishiated too, and gave him one for luck and then went dewn the sidewalk blat— ting and sneezing, and the minister came inthe palor and said he was stabbed, and then pa came out of his room with his suspenders hanging down, and as he didn’t know the min- ister was in there, he said bad words, aod ma cried and told Pa he would go iat sure, and pa said he didn,t care, he would kill that kussid goat afore he ent, and I told pa the minister was in the palor, aod he and ma went down and sail the weather was propitous for heen | if THE D.
