The Wurra Wurra Club

| The chair was occupied by Shlet
 Justice Ford, of the Canaan Supreme
 Court, who instructed the deputy sheriff
 to make proclamation of the opening of
 the session. The deputy sheriff was ab-
 sent attending joint conference of the
 executive committee and trustees of the
 Cornpop and Sasf'rilly Association, but
 Horace Humphrey volunteered to do tt c
 job, which he did by reading the Declara-
 tion of Independence, In poetry.
 Foreman Wigglesworth, of the hose
 company moved that at the conclusion
 of the sittings of the court of inquiry,
 the members constituting the court be
 invited to attend a reception given in
 their honor in the grill-room of the
 Club.
 "Wa'al, they hain't no use bein' in any hurry about ketchin' tn turkey then" said the fat member. "As near as can make out, they hain't goin'.to be no con clusion to the settin's O that court They've adjourned fir a months rest, an then they're a'goin' to start in an set, an set, an settill they find out everything that everybody has done, or hain't done, or orto done, or intends to dosan' I callate that'n take'm jest about lifetime. That Falls Village constable is servin' 500 peenies every day TOW, an when tn court starts up ag'in they's goin' to be hull lot O s'prises f'r somebody, now take my word fir it."
 Surprises nothingp ejacuIated Dan Sweeney, "The court has passed the sur prising stage, and nobody would consider it out of the ordinary if the ladies of the Equal Franchise Leagne were summoned to testify, when the court comes in session again"
 "Gentlemen will confine themselves to the question" ordered the court who proceeded to put the Wigglesworth mo- tion to vote. It was a tie vote and the court refused to break the tie, so the re- ception scheme fell through. HeFriman observed that although the court might not have a reception they were eligible to something better yet--and that's one of "Will'Miles' coon-hunting expeditions, but nobody would make a motion to that effect, as Mir Miles was not present.
 John s. Reed made motion, ''that the Clubs secretary be instructed to procure tickets for the forthcoming banquet of the Business Mems Association, Jan. IS, for the whole Club, and that every mem Der make it point to be present on that occasion as it promises to be, by long odds, the best thing of the kind ever given in Canaan"
 The fat member wiggled to his feet. Mister President" he said, "Tm down on that motion. ain't got no objections to anybody goin' to that banquet if they want to, but tn way I feel about it, l don't reckon I'll go there an hob mob an touch elbows with no contrary faction. This towns ben all ripped up tn back lately, an it's ripped up yet, an it'll be ripped up yet when that banquet comes off. I'm tellin' ye it's a'goin to be hard work to get a hundred or more bizness men to set down together at that feast. This idea of gettin' together an pullin' together is all very putty to talk about but yell find it won't work yet awhile the sores is too raw yet. I don't reckon they'll be copperahs guard at tn Bizness Mems meetiu' in the hose house Friday night; don't reckon tn banquet in Ian uary will amount to a hill O beans; den reckon they'll ever git tn bizness men t work together fir another Fourth O July celebration nor nothin' else; 1 don't reckon"
 "Mr. President" said Ned Roberts, breaking into the fat members oration, "I don't reckon our fat friend is on the | right track. Of course we all know he | is referring to the recent prosecutions and the work of the court of inquiry. | Now fail to comprehend the logic by | which he contends that the men whose | sympathies are opposed to the sympa- l thies of other men are fools as we'll as sore-heads, and that anything is to be | gained by trying to father factional war onto party that has no interest in it | either way. Of course if the fat gentle man sees fit to deprive himself of treat simply because some other fellow may see fit to indulge in 1t, that's his affair. If he refuses to eat his pie simply be- cause somebody has poured water in his gin, that's his affair, too-but it doesn't spite the other fellow. Now there are some things that we, as a community, do \ not all agree upon. But the man who argues that we must disagree upon everything because we cannot agree upon one or two things, is a fool and if he can give any sane and sensible reason
