POOF Tom JsHeFsOn Get 10 Last Night, fer
He Was q Thirteen Child-He wasn't
mere-Neither was Cardinal Glib
bons, ". Bryan NOr Prince FIoriEel.
Ever boheme9 Say, It's all right. You're
bound to Ike II. once you get into the swing.
II you don't know how 10 60 about It, just
join the Thirteen Club. They have been
boheming around and around for some time
and by now most Of them are regularly
qualified little bohemers.
Don't be afraid you won't be able 10 break
into the Thirteen Club. Anybody can get
into the Thirteen Club. Nobody who saw
II boheme at Little Hungary last evening
could have any doubt that the club ls q
very liberal organization, and II you have
any lingering suspicion about the quality
OF their bohemsry you should have heard
the madcaps at table 10 last evening sing-
ing, sWs're s0used because We are-We
are"
This witty ballad, composed on the in
spiration Of the moment. was the work OF
James j. Higgins, the prominent Corlears
Hook plumber. one Of the Thirteen Clubs
principal bohemers. All hands said 1t
went good. They said Mr., Higgins sung
sweet, and then they helped him. After
that Mr.. Higgins went around slyly asking
folks why a fireman wears red suspenders,
and when he told why he never failed to
get a hearty laugh. II 10 no wonder that
Mr.. Higgins is seldom without an Invitation
10 dinner.
II YOU have never yet been born on the
18th Of any month take care that you don't
do Il or the Thirteen Club will celebrate your
birthday some time when you're looking the
other way. That's what happened 10 poor
Tom Jefferson last evening Jefferson was
so careless az to make his entrance into
this breathing world on April IS, In the
year 1913.
There were large number Of famous
invited guests. You won't find any club
that invites more famous people than the
Thirteen Club does. William J. Bryan was
one. He didn't come, but he sent letter,
the gist ~ which was that Thomas Jeher-
son was a praiseworthy citizen. John
Sharp Williams didn't come either. but he
wrote that jefferson was all right. So did
Champ Clark. Senator Robert l.. Owen Of
Oklahoma stayed away too. SO did Senator
, Robert L. Taylor Of Tennessee closely
emuated In that respect by Senator F. NJ.
! Simmons Of North Carolina. Bishop Potter.
| Cardinal Gibbons. Sir Henry Campbell
! Zimmerman and a number OF other well
| known persons also were among those
| absent.
The bohemers got to work early and
| kept at II until q late hour The ices were
served in glasses and many Of the members
displayed their originality by transferring
| the dainty sT eets TO their mouths entirely
| by the aid of their tongues, scorning TO use
| thouRhtlessly provided for the purpose.
Roars Of laughter vent up fr m table after
table az this process vas initiated and
| like wildfre II spread from table 10, which
really vas the centre OF mirth, until II had
practically complete conquest OF the
| whole cellar.
Alderman Reggie Doull was the centre
Of a Jolly throng. He had on a large ma
jority OF his best clothes. On his right
sat Clark Bell, who early in the evening
removed his glasses from his nose and hung
them in his sideboards. Edwin Markham
occupied a chair at Reggie Doulls left.
As a result OF his activity his famous sigma
tire will hereafter adorn the ONCE OF many
livery stable and bakeshop,
Mr.. Doull told about Thomas Jefferson.
Many Of those present had heard the name
before. but they were all glad TO learn some
thing more definite about him, and some
curiosity was displayed TO find out whether
Thomas was related in any direct way with
Joseph. MIR. Doull neglected to enllghten
the assembly upon that point, but he did
say that Thomas jefferson was born on
April 10, l7iS (cheers), that he married
Martha Skelton (hearty cheers). that her
name had thirteen letters (very hearty
cheers) and that he had sandy hair, ruddy
complexion and tranquil, benevolent ex-
preston Of countenanoe 0onG and frantic
cheering) In fact, II appeared from what
Mr.. Doull further satd that the Alderman
thought Mr.. Jefferson was quite promising
young fellow.
On the front page Of the menu was an
attractive portrait Of Thomas Jefferson.
The back page exhibited a similar portrait
OF Congressman William Sulzer. Up TO q
late hour neither Of them had arrived, but
II may be put down as certain that all the
merry boys present went right on boheming
