The Wurra Wurra Club

With Dr. John Adam in the chair the meeting opened auspiciously. Seneca Strong was deputized to sing the Opening Ode, but got the music twisted and war bled the Long Metre Doxology instead Al. Herriman was the only member pres ent who noticed the mistake, and called the attention of the chair to it. Seneca asked for another chance; his plea was whelming majority, to let bad enough alone, and Seneca remained in his seat.
 The chair subpenaed Henry Ives to render a report on the Thanksgiving of the turkey committee, that 1t had been decided to serve a coon dinner if the snow went off and good coon-dog could be procured. Freeman Dempsey butted in at this juncture to ask for enlightenment. "I don't quite seem to grasp this thing" he said. "The gentleman says the com mittee on turkey will serve coon if they can get dog. Now T." but Ives de- clined to be"interrupted, and passed along to the rest of the Thanksgiving program, which will include speech of welcome, by "Ike" Hornbeck, of Falls Village !; solo, Clips that Touch Liquor Shall New CT Touch Mine," by Dennie O'Neil reading, selection from "Ten Tights in a Bar-room," Frank Stevens song, "Every Little Movement of Its Own Means Something Else," Burt. Peirce sleight- o'-hand legerdemain, Joe Parsons. At this point Clint. Roraback got up and proposed that the program wind up with love-feast, or mutual admiration session. The suggestion was adopted.
 George Roger, chairman of the com mittee on organization of the Criminal Consistory, reported that his committee had held a meeting and decided to call secret session and require all candidates eligible for charter membership to tell, not necessarily for publication, but as guaranty of good faith, just what they testified to, in the court of inquiry. Her riman protested and said he should refuse to divulge until he could consult coun- sel, Roger hotly retorted that he was the originator patentee and sole proprie- tor of that subterfuge, but conceded to Herriman the right to refuse on the ground that it might discriminate him, and Herriman finally decided that he would take chance on that. t. <.
 Chairman Adam reminded the meeting that there was no sensible business before the house, and asked somebody to start something.
 The fat member said he would like to start game of poker, but Burt. Peirce served notice that he would enter re monstrance, and the fat proposition fell flat.
 Lew Rhoad=s offered a motion that a committee be appointed to wait on the superintendent of the water company and find out from him what makes the corpo- ration water taste so funny.
 1t has tasted just as it does now, for the last dozen years," volunteered the chairman.
 "Well, I never knew it." said Rhoades, "aud if that's the case I withdraw my motion"
