The Wurra Wurra Club

The ldSG m60blllB OI Jn6 w uTTh WuTTh Club took the form a watch-night SC r. vice and swear. off match, on New Years eve. The meeting was called to order by Masterful Worshipper Bullock, and short business session preceded the New Year exercises.
 A motion was made by the bald-headed election of the United States senator is out of the way, and the public can settle its mind on something of con- sequence, a public installation of the officers of the Club be held on the base ball grounds. "These public installations give social tone and character to an organization, said he, "and little tone and character won't hurt this club any" !"
 "It's all dum nonsense" said the fat member. "These public iasulations don't amount to nothin', my way of thinkin'. druther have a banquet any day. What tn thunder do we care about social tone an character? We've heard enough of that sort of stuff lately, an it's all poppycock."
 Referred to the committee on poppy cock.
 The bow-legged member rose to in- quire if the fat member had secured the signatures of the ladies of the Canaan Assembly" to the charter of the Wurra Wurra Woman's Relief Corps. The fat member replied that he had spoken to his wife about it, and she had made up his mind to throw up the job.
 The wicked member moved that the fat members report be accepted and the fat member be given the hen peck degree at the next meeting, and it was so voted.
 The pious member nominated Cover nor Baldwin for honorary membership. Referred to the committee on moral character.
 On motion of the bow-legged member Clint. Roraback was appointed com mittee on cross-walks with power to notify the city fathers as to where more cross-walks are needed, and to inspect the construction of the same.
 The red-headed member offered a res. olution "that the now president be authorized to now appoint acommittee of ten to arrange for bridge celebration to commemorate the completion of the bridge over the brook between Doctor Camps and Doctor Ross's, on Main. street. This bridge" he said, "has been finished for six months now, and is a credit to the town officials whose names are cast in it, and it ought to be cele- ated, like the Hartford bridge was, with parades and brass bands and squawkers, ticklers and toy balloons"
 The bald headed member suggested that this was matter for the Board of Trade to deal with, but the president declared him out of order and appointed Messrs. Ed. Norton, Judge Roroaback, Dr. Ross, Al. Briggs, Dr. Camp, Frank w. Wilcox, Eugene Rowe, N. Watson Hardenbergh, b. L. Peirce and Clarence Humphrey, all dwellers in the vicinity of the new bridge. a, committee to arrange & program for the bridge oele- bration, with instructions to report at the next meeting.
 The special business of the evening was then taken up-the swear-off game. 4 committee consisting of Sam Camp and Frank Stevens had prepared a num- Der of ready-made resolutions" which were shaken up in 8 hat and passed around to the various members, who drew them out hit or miss as follows:
 June Rhoades-"I'll never let the water in the reservoir get down to famine point, as long as can juggle a fiddle stick
 Horace Humphrey-"I shall never recommend another preparation for re- storing hair to bald heads-unless I have my hat on."
 Judge George Ford-"I shall always make it my guiding principle to temper my mercy with justice"
 Eddie Adams-"I shall do my best to break myself of the anti-fat habit and let nature take its course"
 Ozzie Vosburgh-'I shall keep my temper when my partner trumps my ace."
 Landlord Baker-"I shall see to it that henceforth no steak shall be served at my house that is less than an inch and half thick"
 George Marvin-'I shall do my devilish best to break Sam Camp of the habit of writing poetry"
 Dr. Ross-"I shall stop being effemi- nate in my grammar, and use more robust language"
