In Bozeman.

Bozeman, Nov. 1S.-The students of
the agricultural college were addressed
by Editor Kelley of the Bozeman
Chronicle on Wednesday morning at the
usual weekly assembly meeting. The
subject was THE Business of Life"
The able remarks of Mr.. Kelley we're
listened to with marked attention by
the faculty and students, as he deliver
ed them in his usual eloquent manner.
The faculty are endeavoring to have
each assembly meeting of the students
attended by some business man who
will lecture on some subject pertinent
to the business life of to-day, to the
end that the students may have some
idea Of what each one will have to con-
tend with when school and college days
are over. Professor Currier announced
at the close of the address that an ora
torical society, to be composed of the
principal schools and colleges of the
state, was on foot, and that a commit
tee of the students of the agricultural
college would be named in few days.
The object of. the new society is to have
contests in oratory with Mssoula, Deer
Lodge, Butte and Dillon and other
scholastic institutions of the state dur
ing the school year.
Some two or three years ago club
was formed by about u single
gentlemen of Bozeman for the
purpose of enjoying each others
society and ideas on various
literary and political subjects, and
at times to entertain in social way.
The name of this club was 1.-THE Boze-
man Order of Happy Bachelors. One
Of the vows taken by the members was
not to marry, and if he did so penalty
was imposed and he was expelled from
the ranks of the brotherhood. But, alas!
for the frailty of man, in less than two
years after the formation of the club
three of the members succumbed to the
inevitable, and now some seven or elgnt
out of the original II are benedicts. Last
Monday there gathered at the home OF
Mr.. and Mrs. Macintosh several of the
former members of this once famous
club and their wives and some others,
and whist club was formed with n
membership Of eight couples. The name
of the new society is the B. O. II. y.
Whist club, and it is left for the pubic
to decide whether the letters indicate
"Bozeman Order of Henpecked Hus-
bands" or the "Bozeman Order of Hap
by Renedicts." After the formation Of
the club last Monday evening whist
was INDUCED in for several hours and
then light refreshments were served.
1t is one Of the rules of this new insti-
tuition that only very light refresh
SO that each one may enjoy a good
nights rest afterwards. Those who
compose the B. o. H. B. Whist club are
the following ladies and gentlemen: Mr..
and Mrs Walter Sales. Mr.. and Mrs.
w. L. Holloway, Mr.. and Mrs. Wilton,
Mr.. and Mrs. Paul Davies, Mr.. and Mrs.
E. V. Blankenship, Mr.. and Mrs. l. L..
