The Wurra Wurra Club

It was disagreeable night to be out in. "Out in" may sound like a paral- telegram but if one may be "in out of the sleet, why not "out in" it? The sleet was coming down steadily, and staying down; none of it, if any, was going back up. It couldn't. It would be violation of the law of attractive ness founded by Sir. Isaak Walton, author of "Prognostication is the thief of time" Therefore, as we said again, it was disagreeable night to be out in, or into, and good kind to be in out of. It is quite frequently done in New York State, and denotes the natural trend of the independent mind, or faculty. or talent, which is quick to discriminate, that is, to show partiality or prejudice, a spiteful attribute that is usually offensive, such as "The Allies have resumed the offen sive," foreshadowing the drenching of the field with blood, or gore, which is composed of red corpuscles, white cor puscles and pernicious anaemia, so- called because that is the name of it, as recorded on the undertaker's cer- tifcate as last resort before the will is read or recited, meaning elocution, or dramatics, to wit: "All the world s stage" or omnibus, or rubber neck wagon, viz: "Seeing New Yo'k," better known as the External City" because of the successful corruption of its municipal reforms. For that req son the president, Mir. Suayer posi- lively insisted on calling the meeting to order at exactly o'clock, and called on Charlie Beaujon to read the min utes. This was done. Then Seneca B. Strong, the sexton, sang the Open ing Ode, accompanied by Game Com missioner Charlie Pease on his com mission. After that the regular order of business was taken up. ..
 Charlie Adam got up and moved that committee of three be appointed by the chair to have charge of the ar engagements and decoration of muni- cipal Christmas tree. "We have only two weeks left in which to prepare" said he, "but whole lot may be accomplished in two weeks if it is gone about in vigorous fashion. In other towns around us they have been preparing for weeks already, and we cannot begin any too soon. I" Mir. Badgley said he would like to see the gentleman's motion prevail, but as there seemed to be nobody anxious to set the ball a'rolling in a business-like way, he had very little hope of seeing a municipal Christmas tree iu Canaan this year, and it looked like waste of time and talk to bring the matter up again at this stage. The motion was not seconded, md the subject was dropped after the fat member said something about waiting until after the Business Men's banquet was out ot the way.
 Dan Sweeney said he would like to hear a report from some of the musical members who attended the Choral Unions annual meeting and dinner at Delmonico's the night before, AS none of the delegates happened to be present, the fat member got up and said he was interested, himself, in his wife say that she had been told the Delmonico affair was just as splendid as ever and that "th' Canaan chaps showed that they knew how t' eat high toned vittles as handy ez tn next ones, an didn't git mixed up much on tn eatin' tools, even if one of lem did hold back his oyster fork t eat peasant with, an took cucumber sanditch off'n th'plate with his spoon"
 A. A. Hubbard took the floor and said he thought it would be a good idea, in view of the present dance craze, for the Club to get into line and hire one of the dancing teachers to give a lesson in the Club room once or twice a week. The chair asked if he offered that as a motion. "Oh no of course not, :" retorted Hubbard. "I offer it as recipe for making the hair grow on tin dippers."
