According to an exchange there happened an amusing incident in a little town in southern Illinois, located in a section where the farmers’ alliance is strong, and a lodge of that organization exists in the town. They meet Monday nights. There is only one lodge room in the town and Tuesday night it is occupied by the local branch of the Knights of Pythias. The president of one of the county suballiances came to town one Tuesday. He had visited the town alliances, and when he saw lights in the lodge room concluded that he would go over and visit the brethren. He gave the proper knock at the outer door. The wicket was raised and an ear was placed al it to' hear the pass word, • 1 plow, I hoe, I spade,” whispered the alliance man. The ear was replaced by an eye, and it in turn gave place to a mouth and ib said in reply: “The h—l you do!” and the wicket dropped with a bang. The indignant farmer shortly afterward met a “brother” to whom he told his tale of weo. ‘ ‘Why, dad blame it,” was the sharp comment of the brother, “them's Knights of Pythias, and you’fe given ’em our pass word.” Dogged if I haint,” was the response, “but (brightening up) dura ’em, I’ve got theirs!”
