Reed met one ev- ening in the law office of young Jones’ father, who was a lawyer and absent from town, and formed the first Ku-Klux organization heard of in this country. It was not then named, and the object, as all state, and as must be accepted asthe truth, was simply for mystery and amusement. The second meeting was held on the ground of Dr. Oarter, on a hill out- side the town. A tornado had par- tially demolished the house and prostrated many of the cedars in the groves around it, making a wild and lonely place, and it was at night, and amid these ruins, that the first candidates were initiated. The name Ku-Klux was adopte from a Greek word, and the boys originat- ed the form of initiation and the various grips and passwords. The idea as stated was fun and mystery and to carry this out every member «as privileged’ to disguise himself as he saw fit. Candidates were tak- en in one after another, and finally a public parade was held. This was the head and front of an organiza- tion which quickly spread over the whole south. While the Pulaski or- ganization never posted a threaten- ing letter nor gave a man warning, other organizations were formed with a different aim in view. Every member was disguised, and each sur- rounded himself with as great a mystery as he could, and it was the awe which the public felt and ex- pressed that encouraged other organizations with other objects. The close of the war had left the south full of bad men, both white and black. Law was powerless to reach them, and it was to grap- ple with this evil that the ku-klux societies sprang into existence all over that section. There were in- stances when the work was carried too far, and where bad men banded together to do evil, but the original object of every society which includ- ed the respectable citizens of the neighborhood was solely to protect the community. And that object was accomplished by the earlier or- ganizations more thoroughly than history has ever stated. Lawless characters who were preying on the people and who cared nothing for law or life were driven off or fright- ened into reform by the Ku-Klux. In time the organizations were made use of to gratify personal spites, and this led to great abuses which were never contemplated by the originators of the order. There was no thought of politics or correction in the first society, and as scon as Mr. Crowe and his friends saw how the organizations were springing in- to lize, and the bad use being made of their power, they withdrew from it entirely.—Detroit Free Press.

Can we dare to hope from the re port which a St. Louis drummer brings from Kansas? “I got the toughest deal I've had for a long time on my last trip, when I struck White City, Kas..” said he, leaning over the counter, when he had lighted his cigar, and addressing a triend confidentially. “I know some young ladies there who are quite tony and pretty, and really the cream of the town; and after supper, the first day I got there, I strolled around to call on one of them. There was to be an entertainment in town thenext night and when I was starting home I asked her to let me accompany her there. Instead of answering, she pointed toa card stuck ina frame over the mantelpiece and signed with her name. I copied it on the spot, and this is it: “I, the undersigned, do solemnly swear, God helping me, to abstain from the use of chewing-gum and slang, and also abstain from and use my influence against the use of tobacco and intoxicating liq- uors. I furthermore promise that I will not keep regular company with any one who I know uses tobacco, strong drink or profane language.” “I knew,” continued the drummer, “that she knew I smoked, for she had seen me with a cigar in my hand that afternoon when she met me on the street. I tried to beg out of it on the ground that she couldn’t make White City rules apply to a traveling man, but she wouldn’t have it, and the best I could do was to induce her to make the engagement with me in return for a promise that I would walk in the straight and parrow path while in town. I was in the place four days, and every time I wanted to smoke I had to go up in the hotel and lock myseif in my room. IfI had been detected my young lady acquaintances wouldn’t have looked at me on the street. More than two-thirds of the girls in the town belonged to the society that got up this pledge and they had got the young men so de- moralized that half of them had sworn off from doing anything but looking solemn and melancholy, and the other half were taking refuge in cubs. I don’t think the thing can lastlong. It’s too unnatural.” This man hasn’t one drop of phi- lanthropic blood in his veins. When a girl seeks to prove herself capab‘e of so heroic a sacrifice as abandon- ing chewing gum, there is nothing | a patriot and humanitarian ought not to be equal to by way of encourage- | ment.

The death of Mrs. Atkins, which in Italy. The weapon is kept by the | recently occured, is not without ite influence upon his desire to leave Washington, but the principal rea sons are the cares and responsibil ties of his office. General Atkina’s friends say that he concerns himself too much with details of the Indian bureau, and that if he would leaye these matters more in the hands of his subordinates he might make his official life an unusally pleasant ona home, and a telegram reporter is the only one who has handled it since it came into his care, five years ago. When asked to tell the story of how it came into his possession, the detective said: “I was an officer on patrol duty at the time, and, as my beat was in that district known as “Little Italy,” I got to know a num- ber of the Italians living there. |The commissioner, however, says Among them was a tall, fine iooking | that this is impossible and the re fellow named Gulseppi Graveno, and | sult is that he is weighed down with he and I were great friends.
