The Wurra Wurra Club.

The Wurra Wurra Club.
 The only members who were absent from the meeting were those who are still in the country, on their summer va cation. The president, Mir. Edward C. Finney, was unable to be present on ac- count an appointment with Mir. John Kill course with regard to the removal of the side-tracks at the station, to obviate so much switching over the Main street crossing, and Mir. $. Belshazzar Strong, the competent and popular sexton of the Club, appointed Mir. Frank Coons chair man pro ten. Mir. Coons attempted to decline the honor, but was forcibly drag ged to the throne by Deputy Sheriff Rhoades, and placed in the chair. He made polite bow and a neat little speech, then called for the reading of the min utes of the previous meeting. The min utes were read by Con. Hitchcock, at second speed, with the muller wide open. The Opening Ode was sung by Allyn Fuller in falsetto sarsaparilla, and made big hit.
 The chair then called for motions, res olutions, etc. under the regular order.
 Mir. Ralph Farnum got up and said it would seem that when the Business Mems Association resumes its regular sessions, next month, it should feel sutfi- eiently rested to buckle down to work and accomplish something for the good of the community. There are several matters that ought to receive attention from the Association, he said, and he hoped the winters record would be one of the best since the Association was formed.
 Do you wish to make a motion, or offer resolution along that linei" asked the chair.
 "No sir" replied Farnum, "but would like to sing a song that l heard a few days ago, entitled"
 "You are out of order," said the chair, hitting the throne a rap with the gavel. You will take your seat and maintain strict and discreet silence during the rest of the session." And Farnum did it.
 Ed. Warner got up to ask if something couldn't be done by the Club to dis courage the growing craze among women, fr wearing the diaphanous skirt. dts getting so a man can't look at lady friend-or at least certain of his lady friends-against the sunlight, or in the direction of an electric light at night, without embarrassment, he said. "This diaphanous skirt fad is a matter that should receive the attention of this Club, or the Business Mems Association, or the Suffrage league, or something. It ought to be discouraged"
 Do you offer that as a motion2" asked the chair.
 "No sir" replied Warner. "T offer it as a clue to the identity of the gentleman who struck Billy Patterson.
 The fat member got up. "Mister Presd dent" said he, "I hain't half SO much worried about tn dioxygen skirt as what be about tn high cost O Twin high. Here's corn only half a crop, 'taters skeerce, apples nothin' an tn tariff bill-"
 "I objectr' shouted Clint Roraback. "The tariff has no place in this discus sion" The objection was sustained, but the fat member asked the chair to note an exception.
 Dan Sweeney rose to say he thought the Club ought to felicitate the town generally on the successful manner in which the arrangements for the reunion of the Second Heavies were carried out, and the good time that was enjoyed by all the veterans and guests.
 "Im in fav'r t that" said the fat mem Der. "It was a big thing. Ant think them ladies up t Pilgrim church fed a hundred more than they fingered on! That was suthin' t brag of, if they'd a mind t do any braggin'. was up t tn hall that day, with a cousin O mine that's a vet'ran, an it sure was a big day. One thing that pleased me was, that ev'rybody that wanted [ go on tn Joy ride had a chanst, am it pleased me p'tic'lar that some O our towns folks that wasn't neither vet'rans nor invited guests, managed t git themselves good seats in some O tn fust autos that started out an made jest so many more O tn vet'rans wait fir tn second trip. l was glad t see our own folks git such a good chanst t see tn Twin Lakes. Mebbe they'll never see 'em ag'in.'
 Do l understand there is any motion before the house concerning this reunion asked the chair, who paused for a reply. As nobody responded, he declared the meeting adjourned.
 "What cut-up that fellow is "
 Quite so he is a medical student. "
