When the boys around Wilmot start to

It is the custom in the social circles
of cities to form smaller and more ex-
elusive circles for reasons congenial
and otherwise, or for educational pur
poses, and which take the form Of
clubs. Wilmot is in no way behind
the times, and in fact has passed
through a very epidemic of microscopic
societies. Only two of these are worthy
of notice, for they are the originals
and head the list. Both have adopted
the tantalizing policy of letting their
club be known by the initials of its
name, and forcing the dear public
almost into insanity in trying to de-
termine the remainder of the words
No. l is an association of young ladies
and the initials they have inscribed
upon their badges are n. c. G. Some
have taken this as a warning, and in
terpret it Not Carelessly COurted."
Others aver that the mystic words
stand for & No Call for Goldfish" These
are erroneous impressions and in order
to settle the matter once for all We will
give the secret away. The original
words are Newbury's Coffee Cup, =
and have their meaning in a very
useful article of crockery Occurred,
never mind how) which is used
at all meetings of the club as a
friendship cup, and from it are taken
sips in common of such gentle bever
ages as chocolate, sassafras, pink tea,
castoria, etc. No. 2 is a company of
bows who have chosen the initials
W. Il. G. This at first sight would
seem a sticker, but it is easy. 1T is not
Willie, His Goat, or Wipe Henry's
Glasses or Whoop Hurrah Ginger
Oh no, nothingof the sort. The letters
stand for VIE helszt? Gesellschaft,
which tells the story in nutshell.
The club is presided over by Kaiser,
and the proceedings are jotted down
by Schrieber. The boys never smile
during session hours, and the regalia
consists of a round, red face, huge
stomach and long pipe in which
nothing stronger than dried mullen
leaves is burned
