the rOll-Call and the singing of a Christ mas anthem by the Glee Club, the com. mittee on moral character submitted majority and minority reports on the application of Dan Sweeney for honor ary membership. On motion of Dave Walters both reports were referred to she committee on mathematical juris- prudence.
 The bow-legged member moved that the secretary be instructed to procure tickets for all the members who desire to go see "Our Wives" next Wednesday night
 T 'bject !" shouted the fat member.
 "The gentlemen will state his ob- i jection," " said the chair.
 II 'bject on tn ground that it's scand lous," said the fat member. "If any O tn rest of ye want t give out tickets fir all tn other members. t go an see y'r wives Wednesday night, T Thursday, T Sunday nlght, T any other old night, ain't got no objections t that if you're satisfied. But want ye t understand don't have t have no ticket t see my wife, an I don't want no ticket t see nobody else's wife, an l think this hull prop'sition ain't no credit t tn Club. They's lot O single men in this rg'nization, an we ought t calc late little. 1t was jes' as pltAn c me us Q, b, c, that we's makin' mistake when we begun t org nize that Woman 8 Relief Corpse, an tn mischief's begun 50 quick, an tn Corpse aiu't even got t goin' yet"
 The bow.Iegged member rose and gravely apologized for neglecting to make his motion plain enough for the fat member to grasp it. On being given permission to revise the,motion he moved "the purchase of block of tickets for the Town Hall next Wednesday even- ing, on the occasion of the presentation of the drama entitled Our Wives by the fyoung people of the Episcopal Church" |"
 "Why tn thunder didn't ye say that in tn fust place? ?" said the fat member.
 The motion was carried, the fat mem. Der voting "aye,"
 The bald headed member moved that as a mark of courtesy to the Board of Trade, and appreciation of its enterprise in or ganizing its banquet, the nomination of it's guest of honor, Colonel Osborn, for honorary membership in the Club be confirmed without reference to the com mittee on moral character.
 The fat member opposed the motion. "I reckon we better let this nom nation take tn, the reg'lar course," said he. "Any how, we better see what he's go- in t. say fust, Them Iiter'y fellers likes t have fun with what they call tn pr 'vincials sometimes, an if this one takes a notion t rub it in, I sh'll vote ag'inst his nom nation, even if tn com mittee on mor1 character o. k. s him"
 The motion was put, nevertheless. and the Colonel voted into honorary mem. bership overw helmlngly.
 The member from Hitchcock tried to get the floor to ask when the Wurra Wurra Woman's Relief Corps would be instituted, but Whitford caught his eye, shook his (own) head, and winked frantically, at the same time pointing with his elbow toward the fat member, to indicate that it wouldn't be good pol icy to stir up the gentleman further on that matter just then. The subject was dropped
 The member from Docross moved that the committee on Bridge Celebration and Old Home Week be instructed to incorporate decorated and illuminated automobile parade in the program for the last day of the festivities. So or dered.
 A resolution was offered by Joe Par sons that the Club instruct the treasur- CT to draw a check on the Clubs treas ury for the difference between the price asked by the water company for twenty hydrants. and the amont the fire dis trict would be willing to pay, and have the hydrants installed at once. This started free-for-all fight all over the house, and before any definite result could be announced somebody turned off the lights Then there was gsner. al scramble for the egress, and the meet ing adjourned without adjourning.
