Immediately after the count nie bers,
Boss No. arose and addressed II Club. He
had found after the most careful inc litigation,
that there were only twenty office Hvorth hav-
ing, at the disposal of the Club; VI here were
twenty-one persons present, eat of whom
claimed to participate in the fruid Iof our re-
cent glorious victory. This was most L.,

were not offices enough to go round, lCries Of
"Close the doors! Let no body else in!n]
After order was restored, Boss No. + to2k the
floor, and remarked that in the present dis
tressing paucity of public offices. the humber
of members of the Club must be reduced. Duty
to ourselves peremptorily required 1t. Every
body could see that twenty offices would not
suffice for twenty -one men. There was only
one solution of the difficulty. Somebody must
be elected from the Club. He saw present an
individual, known as Boss No. 10, who had no
right to be there. His age indicated him as an
intruder-as au unmitigated Moss.t ack-and
he should be forthwith turned out. fCries OF

Thereupon, Boss No. Is arose with much diff

to cock his eye and look smart. He was greatly
astounded at the proposition just made. He
