 The red-headed member rose to in- quire If the Camp Ross Bridge celebra- tion committee had completed the pro. gram for the second days observance in the weeks festivities. The chairman reported that the committee had spent most of it's time thus far trying to negoti- ate a basketball game between the Burtpeirces and the Capscotts as one of the attractions for the second day, but hadn't made much headway. He hoped to report the full second days program at the next meeting.
 A motion was made by the pious mem- Der that the secretary be instructed to ascertain just who is doing all that writ ing on license and no license. and invite them to join the Club and fight it out on the floor of the Clab-room. The fat .member opposed the motion. "Let'm fight it out in tn paper" said he, "where they'll have bigger auj'ence. It's too good thing U Keep down t this p'tic'lar crowd. Besides, if we let that sort O thing git started in here once we'll bust up tn Club, 'oause they ain't'no unanimous sentiment on the tn drink question, one way or t'other, in this Club, not by A jugful an if fight was started on tn subject in here it'd git good an hot when it got t go1n', an don't you fer git it."

 The stuttering member rose jubilantly to remark that his stutter was all gone, and that he had cured the impediment with one and half bottles of Lydia TinBrum's vegetable confound. Frank Hitchcock said, By ginger v' (or some thing fully as peppery,) If it'll do that I'm going to get couple of bottles of that stuff, and see if it'll cure my horse of the impediment in his gait"
 The chairman ruled both members out of order, and asked If there was any further business, as there was nothing then before the meeting.
 The wicked member moved the previ- ous question.
