Capt. Boots at the Unirersalist's Dance
To the Editor Of the cedar Falls Gazette:
went to the dance of the Fire Insurancers
last week. 1t was the first religious dance
that ever come to the observance of my ex-
perience. The object was TO get money to
buy property to keep the members from split
ting up You know, if you know anything,
if society isn't got no property it don't
take much to bring distractions, and when
they come, if there's nothing to old 'em tight,
splitup they must.
1t was quite late when come, and had I
been SO dispositioned might have gone in
without contributing for the property-so
taken up was brother HUGE in redressing a
interesting squad of effeminate women. But
having been a soldier, and feeling that the
honor of the United States reclined on me, !
abstracted brother HUGE and paid.
There was considerable folks present No
church to my knowing ever gave dance
with SO good successfulness. did not re-
joice myself consistently with the expense
but it's useless TO mourn anything what's
split.
l cotillioned once-and would have done
SO more, only the women mostly was engag-
ed. If they was, it must have been to fell
lows in,the army, for couldn't see any signs
of their having lovers round there. Cause
woman is engaged l don't.see but she might
dance with another man without reflections
on her character. If she don't think so she
ought not to make herself public at such
places Of infusemsnt. aG.Us
There was no accidents Of any kind only
one or two men falling down and hurting
their backs, one woman jumping her leg out
of joint, and little scare Of ssfire up street
in the early evening The fire didn't make
any stir. though, for brother HUGE had the
presence Of mind to rush into the ball and
majestically wave his hands and cry with
voice that there wasn't bit of
danger, and we all felt very much insured.

ing before many days. If the drouth con.
tinues much longer the consequences will
seriously affect the yield Of the harvest.
