The Wurra Wurra Club.

 from the meeting, and when the time came to call the assemblage to order.N Jay Underwood jumped up and moved that inasmuch as they were obliged at almost every meeting to dispense with something or other, they dispense with a presiding officer on this occasion, and let the meeting run itself. Dr. Ross seconded the motion and said 1t was a poor sttck of meeting that couldn't run itself as we'll as some of the recent temporary chairmen had chaired it. Mir. Under wood was about to put the motion to vote when Clint Roraback got up and asked where he got his authority to act as presiding officer. This precipitated parliamentary wrangle which Justice Ford attempted to settle by quoting from Conn. Reports, Chapter 66o, p.4II44,) case of Doe vs. Roe, an action in tort, involving the essential points in issue. Mayor Rowe interrupted at this juncture by remarking as follows, to wit:
 "Ratsl"
 Fred Collin immediately jumped to his feet, and in voice tremulous with suppressed passion, missed:
 "I move to amend the Mayors inter jection by substituting the word, Fudge" which was carried, and Sheriff Rhoades took possession of the meeting, which went along all right after that.
 Sam Camp was subpoenaed by the sheriff to sing the Opening Ode. Sam said he didn't know the Opening Ode very we'll but he considered himself the champion Come-all-ye singer. He was excused and the meeting proceed to bust ness.
 A motion was offered by Ned Roberts that the Club turn out in body on the day the sixty local suffragists parade to the place of registration to be made voteresses and march with them as an escort of honor.
 Dr. Lee got up and said he would like to inquire whether the Club would be expected to lead the march or tag along behind. 1.-The question of precedence in these formal functions is a mighty ticklish one," he said, "and must be dealt with automatically"
 MT. Lyles thought the Club should march ahead, to keep the road clear for the ladies. Mir. Ives objected on the ground that such an assignment would necessarily put the ladies at the tail-end of their own parade. June Rhoades asked how the escort of honor could guard the column If 1t followed on be- hind. Al Briggs said the only way, out of it, as far as he could see, was for the gentlemen of the Club to march side by side with the ladies. where they belong.
 The fat member said the others could do as they pleased, but he expected to get his assignment from headquarters, and would probably stay at home and be getting dinner ready for the lady of his | house while she was out parading and getting "made." The whole proposition | was finally referred to the committee on Rhoades and brooches.
 Horace Humphrey moved that camp meeting isn't what it used to be in the | old days. Carried.
 A communication was read, from Theo- | dore Roosevelt, accepting his nomina- ton as honorary member of the Club, and asking if there was anything doing | moosewise, in the organization. Referred | to the committee on natural history, with | power to ask the Colonel what's the plural of bull moose?
 On motion of MT. Vogel the secretary | was instructed to get into. communica- ton with Chairman Walter Norton, of | the Bald Head Clubs executive com mittee, and ask him to use his influence to have the second banquet of that Club held in Canaan.
 "Speakin' about banquets," said the fat member, "what's become O that Bizness Mems 'sociation's movement t have tn 4 o'clock train goin' west put back on tn 
 MT. Lyles moved to adjourn, and in spite of the fat mans ponderous protest, the meeting adjourned.
