The Wurra Wurra Club.

Seneca Strong, sexton of the Club, was the only person present when the hour arrived for opening the exercises. He shut off the draft in the stovepipe, to save coal, and started to take a nap be- hind the stove, but was interrupted short l ly by the arrival of quorum. The last mail had been late in arriving and the members just naturally couldn't come away from the postoffice until it had been | sorted. pr. Corwin, tEN president and veterinarian of the Club, sent word bv Con. Hitchcock that he would be unable to attend the session, as he had to go down the road somewhere to doctor d bull moose for collie. So Selectman R Reel was sworn in as chairman pro tenn. and the exercises began. Al. Hubbard read the minutes of the last meeting, and the Opening Ode was chanted by Dr. Ross, on that hoarse auto horn of his.
 A motion was offered by Dr. Adam that the chair appoint a committee to ar range for receiving the election returns at the clubhouse next Tuesday night. Before the motion could be seconded, Judge Ford jumped up and >obiected. "On the night ofth election year ago, he said, we had the wires strung to the clubroom to receive the returns by tele- graph, and you'll all remember the out rageous returns that came in, and the sensational transformation that came in with them, which we swallowed until we investigated and found that the wire led to the tinshop instead of the telegraph office, and we were being bamboozled by a crowd of jokers up Railroad street. am in favor of either getting the returns at the telegraph office, or waiting until the papers come in, on Wednesday morn ing"
 "The lotion was lost, on yea and nay vote.
 Fred Collin moved that the Club at tend the Halloween dance of the fire men, in body, and it was so voted.
 A motion was offered by Clint. Rora- back, that the twenty ladies who voted | at the town election be made honorary members of the Club This sugge stion started lively discussion. Ed. Warner contended that it would be unfair to the sixteen other ladies who are on the vot- ing list, but who did not vote, and he moved an amendment including those sixteen. Mir. Roraback declined to ac- AI, cepted it. Horace Humphrey offered an amendment to the amendment, to em- brace the whole 52 ladies who had been registered on the list ito be made" voters, but Sexton Strong, who doesn't hear very well, popped up to remark that if the gentleman proposed to embrace g ladies they could count him. out, as he hoped he had some self respect left; then he went home and left the meeting to run itself. The rapid piling up of amend ments got the chair fuddled bit, and he beckoned Wallace Garfield to approach the east and held whispered consulta- tion with him, after which he declared the whole business out of order, and called for "the next case"
 George Mather rose to question of personal privilege. He said he expected to qualify as justice of the peace, after election, and wished to make bid for any business in that line which the mem bers might throw into his way, in the shape of marriages, lawsuits, afidavits, arbitrations, etc. also that he had setting hens to rent and would give special at- tention to analyzing pure foods and prompt delivery.
 Judge Ford made the point of order that the gentleman was out of order, and was sustained by the chair.
 Joe Parsons moved that the committee on roads and bridges be instructed to organize a dramatic company, to be com. posed of members of the Club, and dramatize the political campaign, for production in the Town Hall, the coming winter, for the benefit of the Club. Mayor Rowe moved to amend by making it comic and opera having it produced by the Wurra Wurra Glee Club, which is already rehearsing its voice for the Choral Union work. The amendment was accepted and the motion passed. The committee was instructed to inter view the town chairmen for the plot and get right to work at it.
