The Lime-Kiln Club on Poetry.


The Chairman of the Committee on
Harmony then announced his desire to
submit u report, and being encouraged
by smile ten inches long he read
twelve pages OF closely-written manu-
script. Waydown Bebee has for the
last three years done everything in his
power to bring out and encourage poets.
Several months since Judge Congo de-
manded an investigation, stating his
belief that the principle was calculated
to work evil to society, and the matter
was turned over to the Harmony COM
mittee.
The Chairman now reported that he
had personally investigated several
cases as follows:
/. William Henry Green. OF Indiana,
formerly an industrious mechanic with
money in the bank. Had VIZ item three
poems and one idyl, aud was now in
jail for stealing giraffe belonging to q
circus.
9. Bradawl Watkins, Of Ontario, for.
merly one of the best whitewashors in
the civilized world. Had written two
been ELECTROMAGNETIC dollars for pound
ing his wife,
3. Judge Glucose Blindhooi, of Ohio,
formerly u blacksmith earning three
dollars per day and having laugh
which could be heard half mile away.
Had only written four verses on .'The
Dying Year." and yet his whole nature
seemed to have undergone a change.
Had had three fights with neighbors,
lost his situation, been drunk and APP
piled for divorce.
The Chairman said he could give sew
eral further instances of the fiendish re-
suits of Brother Bebee's efforts, but be-
fore he had time to do so Giveadam
Jones presented the following:
RESOLVED, Dat from dis date de Lime-Kiln
Club win ase cherry means widin It's power to
discourage de maxim of poets an de produck-
shun of poetry"
Waydown Bebee arose to begin an
argument, but was shouted down and
the resolution put to vote and carried
with whoop. Free Press.

"WeIl, tell us about it. It does me
good to hear blamed fool tell how he
lost his money. Don't you see that your
awkward ways ana general greenness

you not only threw away your own
money, but two or three hundred other
wappy-jawed pelicans saw you draw q
big prize and Thought it was yours, then
they deposited what little they had and
everything was lovely"
"Well, I'll tell you how it was if it'll
do any good and save other young men

you call him, gave me 81 bill to throw

AT intervals, dating back over half
a century, strange parties have made
searches in the bed of Wood Greek,
near Comstock's Landing, N. Y, for a
traditional cannon filed with guineas
that was sunk at the time of Burgoyne's
fight with Colonel Longs American
troops over that ground. The last in
etfectual searcher was q man named
Collins, from New Jersey, who worked
about a week and left a few days ago,
saying he would be back again in the
spring. He claims to have located the
placer by a magnet. The creek at
that point is used as the'canal bed, and
the land belongs to |. v. Baker, ST.. The
tradition is silent as to whether the can

know the bows. He rode over the

ereigns at a cross-road grocery, and he
got down and hitched his horse and be-
gan to make their acquaintance and
crack his jokes around, and thought he
was getting along pretty well with
them, but he noticed an old man with
shaggy eyebrows and big brass specta-
cles sitting on chunk and marking in
the sand with stick. The old man
didn't seem to pay any attention to
Vance, and after while Vance con-
cluded that the old man was bell weth-
