Of course, "circumstances alter cases," and in case it would appear too rude to refuse re-fuse to dance because of the lack of an introduction, the circumstances; themselves usually afford something proper to say.

(2) The Ku Klux Klan which was organized after the Civil war is the one, I take it, which you desire. The following is a brief history of its organization: or-ganization: The Klan originated at Pulaski, Tenn., in 1866. Its original purposes were the protection of the weak and innocent from the outrages of lawless and brutal persons; the extension ex-tension of aid to widows and orphans of Confederate soldiers, and assistance to the government in the execution of all constitutional laws. Whatever the motives of the founders may have been, the organization led to such outrages out-rages that it was condemned by an enactment of Congress and by the better sentiment of the South. It was disbanded in 1869. The name is from the Greek Kyklas, meaning circle, and the English word Clan, with altered spelling to give the mysterious abbreviations abbre-viations K. K. K. (3) No, the Firestone scholarship has not yet been awarded, according ac-cording to my best information. (4) The treatment and article mentioned men-tioned will do what it claims to a great extent, but leaves the skin in a very delicate condition, and it is not advisable to use it.
