The MEMS Protective ASSOCIATION
The members OF ths " Single Mems Pro-
tective Association met lastievening for
and for the purpose OF de-
vising ways and means whereby single
men should be protected from the rapid
ly increasing encroachments of the fair
sex of Phoebe, and the continued arrivals
of manageable females. The meeting
was organized by the election of G. H.
Patchen, as President; W. p. Goodman,
Secretary; Julius Hoffman, Treasurer;
and Jos. b. Hoag, as Sergeant-at-Arms.
The Sergeant-at.Arms vas duly instruct
ed to allow no female, on any pretense
whatever, to enter the meeting room dur
ing the deliberations of that august as
semblage. An assessment OF five dollars
was levied upon each and every member
present for the purpose OF procuring a
meeting room and terrifying it to resist
the onslaught of any OF the opposite sex
n
/" that owing to the alarming increase of
marriages in Phoebe, that each member
should pledge himself to withstand the
wiles of all females Exercising the I'M
doubted right OF that sex in lenp year)
who should propose to any member dur
ing the year 1876" This resolution ex-
cited considerable discussion pro and
con, members claiming that without pro-
lection being guaranteed each and every
one and their being backed up by the as.
ISOLATION, that they would be driven into
marriage by sheer force if caught alone
and unprotected. At this point of the
discussion, the door was forced open by
a bevy of females who had learned the
object of the meeting. A general STAN
pede was at once the order; over chairs,
tables, &c., went the members, and out
of the windows heads first and feet first
they scrambled, but whether they all sue
ceeded in escaping, time will tell by their
names not appearing amongst the list of
marriages in two or three days.
