The Wurra Wurra Club.

The attendance at the last meeting was somewhat larger than that of recent meetings; the counter-attractions of holi- day parties and fraternal society installa- members of the Club find it more con venient to attend the meetings. IL is to be hoped the interest will increase and that every member will hereafter make session, and help to make the delbera- tions not only interesting but instructive. Let us resolve to pull together and make the coming year the most memorable one in the history of our organization. The president of the Club, Mir. Frank Whiting, was unav avoidably absent, having been unexpectedly called to West Nor folk to chloroform d live wire that was
 writhing in convuisive spasms, in the middle of the road. By mutual consent MT. George $. Fuller was chosen to occupy the chair, pro tenn. The minutes of the previous meetings were read by a l
 who came as a guest of A. II. Herriman.
 Likewise he also sang the Opening Ode, too. Chairman Fuller then declared the meeting open for the despatch of such business as might regularly come before it, under the usual laconic restrictions.
 At this point Brother wigglesworth moved to adjourn, explaining that it was the only motion he could think of al that time. Howard Lathrop seconded the motion, and it was put to vote and carried by large majority.
 Clint. Roraback at once moved that the vote be rescinded. Wigglesworth seconded the motion, which went through with bells on, and the deliberations were resumed.
 Deputy Sheriff Rhoades rose to in- quire if it would be necessary for the Club to give instructions to Mayor Rowe concerning the work of blowing paths through the snow this winter, and keep ing the sidewalks open. Mayor Rowe promptly jumped to his little feet and stated that the snow-plow was all ready to blow the snow, but he didn't under stand that it was any part of his covenant with the fire district, as its chief magis- trate, to furnish the snow, as we'll as blow it. If the deputy sheriff has any snow that needs blowing, let him bring it on, and I'll see that it is plowed," said His Honor, the ,4.ayor.
 Chairman Fuller mildly expostulated against dragging politics into the discus sion, and declared the snow-plow out of order.
 Will Wright rose to a question of per. sonal privilege. It was granted, and he said he wished to assure the members of the Club, one and all, that he had done his best, as a member of the Business Mems banquet committee, to see that the members of the Wurra Wurra Club gen. erally were remembered in the distribu- ton of invitations, but that he was only one out of three, and at times the other two members of the compittee were un- reasonable and refused to see things his way. Joe Parsons jumped up to correct the gentleman. I'm a member of that committee, myself" said he, "but I'm only one out of three, and very fre- quently l found the other two members stubborn almost to the point of bull headedness when I have tried to favor certain members of this Club in the mat ter of invitations" Al. Wigglesworth, who had been wiggling uneasily in his seat during this colloquy got up and de- clared that both the gentlemen were ap- parently trying to make him the goat. "As a matter of fact, said he, "as a mem Der of the banquet committee l have tried hard to have invitations sent to my friends in this Club, but I'm only one out of three; and when the other two are obstinate, and go against you, what can you do?"
 The chair admonished the gentlemen not to get excited over the matter. Prom what has been said, it is reasona- ble to assume that any member of this Club who failed to receive banquet in- vitation will readily understand that he was not exactly slighted, or discriminated against" sad Mir. Fuller, but that while one member of the committee was friendly, tie other two were stubborn and unr, asonablc; and the contempla- ton of this fact will nave a tendency to convince him that it's no cinch to act on an invitation committee, and an absolute to please everybody. We will now sing the Closing Ode and ad- journ." Then the lights went out.
 That horn doesn't blow sir, said the friendly salesman.
 Wrap it up." said the grouchy man.
