Poetry and Pensions.


The Chairman OF the Committee on
Harmony then announced his desire TO
submit a report, and being encouraged
by smile ten inches long he read
twelve pages of closely written manu-
script Waydown Bebce had for the
last three years done everything in his
power to bring out and encourage
poets. Several months since Judge
Congo had demanded an investigation,
stating his belief that the principle was
calculated to work evil to society, and
the matter was turned over to the Har-
mony Committee.
The chairman now reported that no
had personally investigated several
cases, as follows:
l. William Henry Green, of Indiana,
formerly an industrious mechanic with
money In the bank. Had written three
poems and an idyl, and was now in
jail for stealing giraffe belonging to
circus.
2. Bradawl Watkins, of Ontario,
formerly one Of the best whitewashers
in the civilized world Had written
two odes and an obituary in verse, and
had been fined $25 for pounding his
wife.
8. Judge Glucose Blindhoof, of Ohio,
formerly blacksmith earning $3 a
day and having laugh that could be
heard half a mile away. Had only
written four verses on "The Dying
Year" and yet his whole nature SEEM
ed to have undergone a complete
change. Had had three fights with his
neighbors, lost his situation, got drunk
and had applied for divorce.
The chairman said he could give sew
eral further instances of the tiendish
results of Brother Bebee's efforts, but
before he had time to do so, Givedam
Jones presented the following:
'ReSolued, Dat tgom dis date de Lime
Kiln Club will use ebery means in its
power to discourage de maxim OBJ poets
and de producshun of poetry
Waydown Bebee arose to begin an
argument, but he was shouted down
and the resolution put to a vote and
carried with whoop.
Samuel Shinn then presented the Pc
tition OF Liveforever Smith, colored
resident of Detroit, but not a member
of the Lime Kiln Club, who desired the
club to endorse his application for a
pension from the government for inju-
ries received during the war.
"Brudder Shinn, " stcrnly replied the
president, ''you raise the winder and
drop that paper inter de alley"
Samuel obeyed.
''Now, sab, want to say to you and
to all odder members, dat dis club am
