Scared to Death.

At Montgomery, Ala., Dennis Simniington died in the anteroom of the local Odd Fellows’ lodge from fright over hie initiation into the order. After going to the lodge he was left in an anteroom to wait. Several cloaked figures came out of the main hall and walked around him, making remark* calculated to give him a creepy feeling. He grew more and more excited, and at last tumbled from his chair in a heap. Hearing the fall, some one ran to him •nd found him dead.
