The Wurra Wurra Club

It was moonlight on the sea, the calm, still, placid sea; and the moon- beams danced and fiickered on the crest of every rippling pillow till the vast watery expanse seemed to dazzle with shimmering sheen that would put your eye out. But ill the Club-room it was not so. There were no rippling pillows there, with shimmering sheen on them. Of course it was moist, little, for the obliging and popular sex ton, MT. s. Bluebells Strong had mopped the place out that afternoon, and it takes some time to dry big floor like that. But such is life. No sooner do we accustom ourselves to the vicissi- tudes that viciss all around and spread the tentacles of their voracious maw to trample in the dust the best that is i'll us for the uplift, so to speak, of the unseen, or in other words that mean the same thing, the occult. It is al- most always that way, sometimes; but in this case Sexton Strong was equal to the emergency. He called the meet ing to order and then turned it over to the president, MT. Joe Parsons.
 The roll was called by Highway Commissioner Tom Butler, who was followed by Frank Hitchcock in the reading of the minutes of the previous meeting, after which the Opening Ode was sung by Allyn Fuller on his auto mobile horn. Then the chair called for business under the regular order.
 Selectman Reel got up and said he would like to introduce resolution of congratulation to the suffragists of Litohfeld county, who had made such ereditable showing in the big suffra- gist parade in Hartford, and placed our county in the front rank.
 The fat member hoisted himself up to oppose the resolution, but before he could state his objections he was called to order for chewing tobacco in the Club-room, and had to sit down. On motion of Phil Orben the resolution was tabled.
 The fat member made another effort, and hoisted himself to his feet again. "Mister Pres dent" said he, "Now that we've got one cleanup day out O tn way, why wouldn't it be a fine idee t have another, along different lines? 1 mean cleanup day fir all tn Cupid bizness that's ben pos s'poned so long that people is beginnin' t wonder if they hain' never goin' t be nothin' do- in that way? I've ben told they's a hull lot O couples that has ben goin' t git hooked up, fir months am years, that keep putin of it off, fir no good reason that they can give. Now why not app'int a weddin' cleanup day, an serve notice on all them youngsters an oldsters that's s'posed t' be on tn verge O gittin' ready t prepare t make ar- engagements t proceed t' git spliced, that they gotta come t time, on that day, am have a reg'lar marvin t'urna- ment, in tn Town Hall, or out on tn lawn on tn hill? s'pose sum'll say they can't spend tn time, on account O their bizness, but that hain't no excuse, cause there's Dominies Gillette an Travis, that makes it speciality t' subs ute fir bridegroorhs that wants t git away fir honeymoonin' purposes. | They'll undoubtedly be willin' t cop- perate az in, if bizness stands in tn way O Cupid. Seems t me- "Does the corpulent gentleman wish to offer that as motion, or a resolu- tion?' asked the chair
 "No sir," replied the fat member. | ''I offer it as one O them things you ] wear on y'r key-ring, t tell who you be when you git run over by automobile.
 "There is no motion before the house" ," said the chair. Twill some | body move something?"
 Watson Hardenbergh moved to ad- journ, and although there was lot of | important business to be acted upon, the motion was seconded, and the meet ing adjourned.
