This document translated means that tn
of the unsuspecting youth of tho city were
last night initiated Into tho top order of

rites wero concluded music and reading

refreshments wcro tho final order of tho

Tho Initiation was the fenture of the
whole affair. Four distinct ordeals went
undcrgono by tho candidates, some of whom
survived. Tho ten wero: Fred Klsasser,
Charles S. Smith, Carton Roth. Frank Tall

Hnwldnson, John C. Crawford, Churlcs Rey
nolds and II. S. Daniel.
Coming groping down tho stairway, blind
folded ono by one, and with hands tightly
hound, tho aspirants found themselves
soiled In several pair of strong nnd willing
nrms which belonged to athletic looking
youths In gymnasium suits, sweaters and
rubber shoes nnd hustled blindly Into tho
ceremonial hall
Ilrrr Trnnhln Cntninrner s.
There nt tho very entrance tho candldnto
heard a stern order coming from some
whero commanding him to bow to th
ground In salutation to his goatshtp. Obey
Ing. with quaking llmhs, tho Initiate found
that In order to get his head to tho ground '
It wns necessary to shovo It through n foot
or so of wnter In a tub, which ho did not
expect to find at his feet.
This being satisfactorily performed nnd
tho Innocent as nearly drowned ns suited
his tormentors ho was told that ho might
sit down and regain his breath, and with
'onsplcuous and nstontatlous clatter a chair
is rhoved up behind him. Relaxing with
sigh of relief Into his seat tho aspirant
mnd himself gono deep down Into a huge
eceptaclc, which Immediately sped down
lie hall with tho voloclty of n locomotive.
3cforo tho blindfolded captive had fairly
realized that he was being drawn across the
floor In a hugo market basket by four giants
of tho gymnasium tho upper end of tho hall
was reached nnd a sharp turn rande, with a
Jerk at tho end of It. Thcro- waB a rope
which stopped tho chariot at the turn, but
thero was nothing to keep tho candidate In
It, so ho Just flow out at a tangent nnd lit
wherover he fell. His rldo on tho Dead
wood stage was over.
The new member was not nllowod to pick
himself up after his rude disembarkation,
for a dozen hands seized him and brought
him to tho foot of tho steps to tho shrine
bofore ho had regained his breath. Then he
wns commanded to climb on his hands nnd
knees. The stops wore many and high, and
It was a long Journey, but the trip down
was the CRsenco.of brevity, for nil of n sud
den there wasn't any step and tho youth
toppled ovor townrd the floor headfirst. He
never got there, however, for ft blnnket
stretched taut by his handlers Just nbovo
the carpet caught him ns ho was awaiting
tho crash, and ho was then further de
moralized by being tossed at on en to tho
colling four tlmeB In rapid succession.
Clinnce to Ret liven.
Tho trip to tho shrlno was finished, but
there was ono moro stunt to bo endured,
"Crnwl forty feet to tho exit" was the
next order, nnd It wns nhout as volcanic a
forty fret as mortal over travorsed after
any fashion, leoBt of all crawling.' If there
was any Young Man's Christian nssoclntlon
boy thero who did not bolt said candldato
fully forty times during that forty-foot
Journey It was becauso the crowd was so
thick he couldn't got In.
Ilolng formnlly Installed as a member the
Inltlnto waB then repaid by being given tho
prtvilego of assisting at tho torturo of the
next candidate, which ceremony ho entered
Into with a zeal that seemed moro Inspired
than natural. The last mnn held tho sack.
Ho did not got to hit anybody back.
