The Wurra Wurra Club

In the absence of Undertaken Humph. rey. who was among those present, the meeting of the Wurra Wurra Club was called to order by Dr. Camp, and after the usual quarterly collection was taken mp and the roll called, the meeting was declared open on the third degree, and a resolution was offered by the ld-headed member conveying the Clubs appreciating of the selectmen's s generous action in permitting the basket. ball team to play just one more game in the Town Hall because Wigglesworth is good fellow.
 The fat member kicked. "I don't pr'pose t vote f'r no such restitution as that, ," said he. "Jes' because Wiggle is good feller ain't no reason why tn s'lectmen should let tn basketball team knock tn Town Hall down. Now I'm a taxpayer, an want t say right here, if they wouldn't allow tn team t play before becanse they smashed tn walls an fixin's, I'm down ou lettin'm play jes' because Wiggle's a good feller. I pr'pose mendment t tn res Tuition, appointin' a committee t investigate this hull squabble an find out jes' what it's all about, an dig out tn nigger in tn woodpile." The amendment was referred to the committee on the wood pile, and the resolution was laid under the table.
 The bow-legged member rose to in- quire of the secretary how many names had been added to the list of charter members for the Wurra Wurra Woman's Relief Corps. He was informed that one more telephone operator, two music teachers, three salesladies, one stenogra. pher, one milliner "and one scattering" had been added since the last report and that only three more were required to make up the necessary 90, which number ought to be reached before the next meeting.
 The fat member got up again. "I want t tell you again." said he. "that I'm down on this Woman's Corpse biz ness. They ain't no sense into it. It'll bust up th Club, jes' as sure at you live. Now my wife b'longs t one thing another an she's out two-three days 6 week an ev'ry time she comes home she's got a lot t tell about tn other women that was there, an what they had t say about tn women that wasn't there; an can tell you. that if this Club had t stand tn sort O dissectin' that them women's corpses gifts, it'd bust up in a week. My woman's crazy t. jine this Wurra Wurra Corpse an that's why I'm down on it."
 The bald-headed member suggested that if the fat member considered that his wife wasn't fit to associate with the other members of the proposed Corps. he had the privilege of blackballing her when it came to balloting. Out of sympathy for our fat friend" said the bald headed member, "I move that the secretary be instructed to scratch the the name of his wife from the list of charter members, as unfit for member ship in the organization"
 "If any man seconds that motion I'll punch him in the jaw" shouted the fat member,l getting excited. My wife's jes' as fitt'n fir corpse as any wife you've got, an f1tt'ner. If I don't want her t do things, that's my biz'ness, an my biz ness ain't nobody else's biz'nsss; an if anybody blackballs her when this Corpse is organized I'll make it hot if I have t bust up tn dunn Club"
 The chair called both members to order and stated that there was no business before the meeting. and would somebody make a motion or something?
 The wicked member offered a resolu- tion that couple of medals be cut out of something durable and presented to Brothers Clint. Roraback and Lew Rhoades, in recognition of their achieve ment in capturing and transporting, single handed, contingent of untamed Salisbury Mount Rigians. The resolu- tion was unanimously adopted and Sam. Camp and Burt Peirce were appointed the committee on medals.
 On motion of Brother Bullock the secretary was authorized to procure a copy of Sam. Camps new book on Fish ing, for the Club library, and the meet ing adjourned.
