For an Evening Were
the Frohsinns.
THE FOOL SESSION
Makes Mirth and Merriment
for the Germans.

Nun leert die Becher bis yum Grund
IND schworet Treu dem Narrenbund.
Now drain your goblets to the dregs
And pledge faith to the band of fools,
That was the motto which every
loyal member of the Frohsinn Verein
tried to live UP to last evening. The
great annual festival of fools was held
in Frohsinn hall, and for once every
German in town did his utmost to be-
come the embodiment of foolishness.
Ordinarily, when a man is reckless
enough to call a sedate, middle-aged
German narr, or even applies to him
the less offensive epithet Of thor, he
takes his life in his hands. But last
night everything was changed. Every
member of the Frohsnns took as his
ideal for the occasion HansWurst, the
German clown. Everything savoring
of wisdom or sense was tabooed, and
free rein was given to folly.
The narren-sitzung was scheduled to
begin at nine o'clock. Long before that
hour large numbers had donned their
| fools caps and taken their places
around the tables, where they slipped
beer and fancied themselves once more
in the fatherland. All present were
compelled by the rigid laws set down
| by the king of fools to wear a fool
cap.
Around the hall were stationed a
number of policemen with grotesque
makeup and exaggerated badges.
| These were armed with formidable boz
| logna sausages in lieu of the custom
airy club, and it was their duty to see
that the laws of the kingdom were rig
| idly administered. The guest who was
| ignorant or i'll advised enough to enter
the sacred precincts unadorned with
| the regulation cap, was at once beset
by the guardian of the law and sum
marily elected.
| The first number on the program was
| the entrance of the fool committee.
Next in order Joseph Boyer, the arch
fooP' made an address Of welcome.
Then followed long program of songs
and recitaticns. A one-act comedy en-
titled "a civil wedding in the country
created much laughter. The evening
ended with dancing.
The following were in the fool COM
mittee: Henry Roellig, Peter Turffs
w. G. Lichtenfels, Joseph Turffs, Got
tlieb Schoell, Joseph Boyer Hermann
Trott, Henry Burkhardt, George e
Sandner, e. F. Howe, John Rhein-
heimer Michael Doerr. Jacob Dornes
was stage manager.
