The Wurra Wurra Club

l meeting of the Club, Saturday night, it was discovered that the sexton of the Club had neglected to build fire Frank Stevens suggested that "in the absence of any other fire, we fire the sexton"
 This brought Sexton Seneca Strong to his feet with the retort that "he guessed they'd better pay the sexton what they owed him first; that if they did that and then took up collection to buy another scuttle of coal, they might have a fire"
 Joe Parsons jumped up and asked what had become of the last scuttle of coal {; but by this time other members butted in with sarcastic and PePpery allusions on both sides, and in few minutes the dis pute became so hot that no fire was neces- sary, and the meeting proceeded to busi- l ness.
 Henry Ives, who was chosen president pro tenn, in the unavoidable absence of George Strong, announced that any member who attempted to introduce any motion or resolution bearing upon the question of woman suffrage, should be put out.
 The fat member immediately got up and offered a motion that a vote of thanks be extended the chair for that excellant ruling. "This woman sufferin's bizness is gittin' all-ired m'notonous," said he, tan I don't never want to hear nothin' more about it in this Club. In my l l1,- l.. how, on gen'ral principles. S'posin' they git tn equal franchise an they's law passed maxim my wife, frinstance, as equal as what be-" ..
 ."Put him outl" yelled Charlie Adam. "Stick to your ruling, Mir. Presidentl He's talking woman suffrage."
 "I hain't nuther," retorted the fat mem Der. "T'm talkin' ag'inst it." s -..
 Chairman Ives broke up the colloquy by ordering the fat member put out and suspended for one week
 Ed Warner stood up and attempted to introduce a resolution to raise the annual dues, of the Club to S3s year, but H. E LyIes rose to a point of order and re- minded the chair that there wasa motion before the house-the fat members motion for a vote of thanks to the chair. The chair said he didn't want any vote of thanks, but MT. Lyies insisted that cor rect parliamentary procedure dictated that the motion be disposed of In the regular way.
 "Ah, see" said the chair, "you were present at the recent special town meet ing, and you've been studying up on Cushing's Manual, orHoyle's Games, or something, against the next town meet ing. We'll, was at that meeting, too, and the chairs ruling goes" and he brought his gavel down on the altar with bang that broke the handle off, and was obliged to emphasize his rulings all the rest of the evening with the stove poker. Mir Lyles sat down.
 School Superintendent Vogel said he would like to get the voice of the meet ing on the proposition that the Wurra Wurra Club give the talked of return banquet to the Hawthorne Club ladies, before Lent begins.
 Dan Sweeney rose and asked if the Lent, but before Mir. Vogel could reply, the chair requested him to make motion on the matter. Mir. Vogel then moved that committee be appointed to confer with the ladies of the Hawthorne Club, ascertain their wishes in the matter, and report at the next meeting. The motion was carried unanimously and the chair appointed himself as such committee, in spite of the protests of Lester Adams and Principal Eldridge.
 A motion was offered by w. A. Wright "that the Club, in body, attend the special town meeting in the Town Hall next Saturday and take a hand in the proceedings on the good roads mat ter"
 "I move to amend by pledging every member to vote to rescind the vnte passed at the last special meeting" shouted Fred l Collin. .., ,, .a'
 At this point the fat member, who had come back and taken&a seat near the door without being noticed, got up and seconded the amendment. "I voted ag'inst the state road 'propriarion last week." said he, "an' I'll keep on votin' ag'inst it jest as long as they keep it up, if have t keep rescindin' it every week. They'll find out I'm rescinder that don't back down when 1, once make up my mind This good roads bizness is gittin t be as bad as woman's rights, ,'an'I b'heve we orto rescind the present laws so they
