Minister Is Victim Of 'Praetical;Joke'
,,,'fire znennhers of one of the Mason-
ic Lodges of Toronto paid the Owen
Sound brethren a visit on Thanks
giving Day, and a real joke was play
ed on one of their members while
making the trip by train from'the city
to the northern town.
One paper reports it as follows:
Why is it that jokesters always piek
on a minister if there isa minister to
be found -to pick on? On Tuesday pf
last week ,a good joke was literally,
pulled off at the °expense of Rev. T,
A. Rodgers, formerly of Knox church,
Owen Sound and now of Toronto.
After the train bad left Orangeville,
a smart looking young man left the
ordinary day coach and sleeping cars
conveying Grey Lodge A. F. & A. M.,
members and their wives to ;Owen.
Sound. He briefly -`announced that he
was a whiskey 4n'peetor (whatever
that is) and had reason to believe that
liquid refreshrnent- of a strong nature
was being "carried in the cars. He
suggested a search; of the baggage and
about the first "011C he carne to was
Rev. Mr, Rodgers. Of course this
prohibitionist clergyman. would have,
nothing in his grip and admitted the
fact. He suggested that his grip be
searched. It tiyas '',searched and un-
derneath
n-der°neath;some unmentionablesa big
bottle hearing "'a distillery label was
found. ,.The contents were amber col-,
ored and the sleuth arose in triumph
as he exhibited the tell tale 'evidence.'
Mr. Rodgers exhibited a "countenance..
as shocked as 'one could imagine. He
disclaimed all ownership of the bottle,
and was almost wrathy. The other
occupantsof the car were fittingly
shocked, and their expressions, "You
can never' tell," "I' never would have
,believed it ofhim," and others of that,
nature exhibited their shocked sur-
prise.
Mr, Sleuth solemnly announced that
he"must ''take of the cognizance of the
breach of the O. T. A., and prosecute.
He asked Mr. Rodgers to give his par-
ole
ar ole: not to :leave the train until Mark
dale was reached .when the case could
be brought before the proper author-
ities, .The reverend gentleman - felt
that he could easily prove his ..innocen-
ce and readily .,- greed.
reed.
It was at this'point that the C. P.
R. dversi ht of its ' passengers carne

into evidence. There was_ aC. P. R.
