The Wurra Wurra Club.

The attendance was about as usual, and when the sexton rapped for order and announced that the president, Ned Roberts, was snow-bound somewhere be- tween here and the Camp ground, and was waiting for Mayor Rowe to send the snow-plow to his relief, the meeting elected George Bullock temporary chair man, and proceeded to business.
 The chair ordered the roll-call omitted, likewise the singing ot the Opening Ode and the reading of>the minutes of the previous meeting. He said they took up too much time that might more profita- bly, be spent in wrangling over business matters. Then he asked if there was any business to come before the meeting. Sam Camp said he would like to make motion that the crosswalk between the | Parsons and the Mercantile Company stores be whitewashed. "Take it in muddy weather, or on dark nights when the arc light at that corner refuses to burn," said he, "and there's no way of telling just where the crosswalk ought to | be; and if it were whitewashed it would help some. There would be some satis- faction to the pedestrian in knowing that he's walking where there ought to be a crosswalk, even if there doesn't happen to be one there."
 Ed. Warner wanted to know what diff. ference it made to a pedestrian, whether he got his shoes loaded up with mud on the place where the crosswalk ought to be, or on any other spot in the street.
 Sam replied that his idea of whitewash. ing a streak across the road was simply to guide the traveller across to the right landing place on either side and save dis. tance and time that would be wasted in going out of the course.
 The matter was referred to the com mittee on whitewash.
 Robert Peirce and George ]. Vogel rose at the same time and saluted the chair. Mir. Peirce was recognized and given the floor, and Mir. Vogel sat down to wait. "Mr. President" said Peirce, "I move you sir, that the woman's relief corps of this Club be requested to organ ize buckwheat pancake and cornbeei hash supper for members of the Club and such guests as they may see fit to in- yite, and"-
 "Mr. Presidentp shouted MT. Vogel, | jumping to his feet, "that is the identical motion I was going to make, myself, and I maintain that inasmuch as l was on my feet as quickly as the gentleman who offered it, be given my equal share of credit for proposing it. At the hash and pancake feast given by the ladies in Pill grim Church, last Wednesday night, I had my eyes opened to the virtues of that soul-satisfying combination, and re- solved to consecrate portion of my life to the work of getting and perpetuating the hash and pancake habit. insist that the motion is mine"
 "Mr. President" persisted Mir. Peirce, "I will allow the gentleman to second my motion, but
 "Wa'al, Mister President" said the fat member, putting in, "I ain't p'tic'lar in- t'rested in who makes a motion if it's q good one. Now I've got a plan that'l settle this corn-beef pancake an buck wheat hash prop'sition. Wen git tn Pilgrims t git up another banket O tn same kind, an see which O tn two gem tlemen-Peirce or Vogel-can eat tn most, an tn champeen'll git tn credit fir makin' tn motion"
 "That will suit me to dot" said Mir. Peirce. "If can't get away with more of that combination of luxurious creature comfort than Vogel, I'll Cat him.
 am satisfied with the proposed test" said Mir. Vogel. "If there's anything l like, it's one thing more than another ; and if fail to out-eat Peirce at the hash and pancake game, I'll agree to go to his mill and eat bran. There's only one man | I'd be afraid to tackle on the hash and pancake proposition, and that's the Pill grim parson. He surely can"-
 "Mr. President" spoke up Horace Humphrey, "for the purpose of forestall- ing discussion that is rapidly drifting toward religious controversy, l move that the pancakes and hash be referred to the committee on playhouse symptom ies. In the meantime l challenge the winner of the pancake match. I'm no slouch on pancakes and hash, myself"
