historical standpoint. The club meets
weekly and the session is opened with
the roll call, responses being quota

There is appreciable opportunity
here for the Great American Eagle
to ruffle his feathers and flap his
wings, perchance to utter scream
or two. Shall I not take mine ease
in mine inn," said Falstaff and this
felictious expression as to the en-

not without it's warrant in the funda-
