How the "Autocrat" Was Made Membe

How the "Autocrat" Was Made Member
of q Bohemian Club.
Years and years ago, when tho Bohe-
milan club was in Its infancy, in the days
when the members met in the old Sacra-
mento street rooms, there was a "Jinks."
Now, Jinks, especially Jinks in the
Bohemian club, is not conducted on strict
ly temperance principles, This ono was
no exception to the rule. Tommy New
comb was president of the Bohemian club
in those days, and under his supervision
tho reins of discipline were drawn but
laxly. The subject of the Jinks was the
ten famous professors ut tho breakfast tn
BILE, One memberrecitc odd Ironsides, !"

1.-The Height of tho Ridiculous"
The "Chambered Nautilus was follow
ed by 1.-The One Hoss Shay" And so it
went until some spirit holder than tho
rest indited telegram to the good, gray
poet Of Boston, informing him of his cleo
tion to the Bohemian club, with all privi-
lcges nppertaining thereunto, and sent 1t
before the more sober members could pro-
test.
Now, Boston is three hours nearer the
rising sun than San Francisco. Tho tele-
gram had scarce left the clubrooms before
some matheinatically inclined member
had discovered that it would be midnight
or later ere tie New England doctor and
poet would receive his notification of cleo
ton.

~ Benanee 81 Fa1iAmentary Law ~
As rule, women have no use for parlia-
mentary law and very few ideas Of orgnni-
ration. This was humorously illustrated
the other day when half dozen ladies'
met to organize church charitable socie-
ty. After they had sat looking at each
other triae nervously for awhile one Of
them said:
sit seems we are here. Now, what arc
we going to dor"
"Oh, DEAR" said another, ~ don't
know, but do lot us do something"
What they did was to fall to talking
voluminously upon the work they expect
ed to accomplish and the poor folks they
knew In the congregation. They spent
two hours or more at this and discussed a
good many plans. AS they were adjourn
ing one Of them said:
"Oh, suppose we ought to have pres

"Why, of course we ought, - the rest as

''Al right, iet's,' chirruped the rest.
And nobody objected to names proposed
for secretary and treasurer.
The secretary few days afterward con-
suited her husband as to how she should
write up the minutes.

saying who was chairman Of the meet

why, We didn't have any chairman"
broke in the wife.
"Who, then, put tho motions before the
meetingy"
"Oh, VIC didn't have any motions"
said tho lady, laughing. Somebody
would say she thought such thing would
be nice, and tho rest would say they
thought SO too. That was nll."
In that case" said the man, somewhat
perplexed, you will have to set 1t down
