 Bert Brewer got up and read a long resolution full of whereases and resolveds, which apparently had some bearing on the subject of presidential politics and seemed to have a tendency to commit the Club to the support of either Roose- welt or Bryan-it was difficult to distin- guish which. After he had finished reading his resolution he attempted to speak in support of it, when H. E.

 "I declare the incident closed, !" said the chair. "Has anybody any further busi- ness to bring before the meeting"
 "Yes sir, have" persisted the fat member. "I want them tickets"
 "The deputy sheriff was ordered to throw the fat member out, which he pro- ceeded to do.
 "Mr Chairman" said Seneca Strong, "I move that each member of the Club enlist in the fy-swatting crusade institut ed by the Camp Fire Girls, and enter the contest for the prizes offered for the champion fly swatters of the town. have already entered the contest, and only today killed thirteen flies while was waiting for the mails 10 open in the postofice."
 "An unlucky number" said Horace Holt.
 "Very well, I'll call it twelve, then," said Seneca.
 "Defective mathematics" retorted Holt "Calling thirteen twelve doesn't make it twelve, but it casts suspicion upon the whole performance. I move the previous question"
