One of the humors Of club life in New
York lies in the absurdities growing out

ants. Old members find themselves chal-

boys and hall porters, and house commit
teemen are driven TO despair TO find new
boys to fit the uniforms Of the boys that
are gone The staff Of most cubs usually
displays several woful misfits.

forests 10 which they retired. until they

A book-worm or some such creature has
left his mark upon volume Of the Brit
ish Annual Register" Of the year 1910 in a
club library Of New York. The worm ate
its way through seventeen leaves of the
volume. and for much Of the way its path

erect and a short tail This figure is re-
peated upon eight or ten leaves, and then
gradually becomes less clearly defined until
the progress Of the worm is marked by
single small hole.
