The hCpuDIcan CaW-Cuss!
FRIDAY evening last, the UNITED
brethren of the "Crow" party met in
Citizens Hall for the purpose of once
more singing praises TO the music of
the Ring. But owing to the yearning
of young blood for a change in the
tune and determination on the part
of considerable portion of the flock
to convince the people that "Ring"
music was not always appropriate, this
meeting OF saints was turned into
quite lively dance. When the om-

of the proceedings that the Boys had
them "scooped'', pure and unadulter-
ated chin music struck up with a
vengeance, and, in strict obedience to
the spirit OF the occasion, each sought
his affinity as his partner forithe first
set-(to,) 1t would have made younger
lovers envious TO have seen the enthu-
siasm of the venerable Beatty as he
chased across the Hall after the
'Boss" beauty of the evening-"Mam-

dance, in such forcible and elegant
language and in so gentlemanly man.

hear:
"You threatened TO "bust us" three
months ago!"
"Ain't we done it p

"You have done the same trick

BY this time they had waltzed
around near to "Mammy's" paternal
parient. Who said to his fair daugh-

don't act purity, l don't like to have
