IROOUOIS CLUB,

Tho 1roquols Club wrestled long and

problem OF suspending for non-payment of

Quencies foot up something like $500. The
list of delinquents was read, and found to
include quite a sprinkling of the best in the
club, who, II cast iron construction of the
rules were adhered to, would stand sus-
pc nded without any further action. 1t was
on this point that a stubborn wraugle en-
sued.
Many maintained that If those good,
staunch members were to be Topped off so
effects over to an orphan asylum and close
its doors. Better straiu point and try to
keep them, since there is nothing to lose
and so much to be gained. Others thought
the club had been too lenient already; that
it is carrying too much dead weight; that
the delinqueDts, il they really had the in
terest of the club at heart, would not allow
themselves to fall so badly in arrears. The
milder policy prevailed. and the collector
was instructed to call on all whose names
were read before any notices OF suspension
are issued.
