The Wurra Wurra Club

"A thing of beauty is joy forever. |" So said the poet-we believe it was Ursa Major, or somebody. The author ship makes no difference, absolutely no difference-that is, almost absolutely no difference. Too many people are such sticklers for definite and positive accuracy about such trivial details; and life Is so short-So cverlastingly short. It's almost discouraging, how short it is; therefore the sexton, Mir. s. Blow yebreezesblow Strong called the meet ing to order. He said the president, MT. Charles S. Adam, had sent word that he might be present, and he might not, all depending upon whether he would be or not. Charles J. Beaujon volunteered to run the meeting and was unanimously elected so to do.. He mounted the throne, hit the desk a thump with his bare knuckles and de- clared the session in session. Len Caldwell sang the Opening Ode, ac- companied by Freeman Dempsey on his ice cream soda fountain, and John Bianchi read the minutes of the other meeting. Then the chair called for any old kind of trouble that might be forthcoming.
 Rob. Peirce arose and stood up and made this motion: "That inasmuch as the local marriage business has taken on such squirt that it has become necessary to have two mornings in one night, a calithumpian committee be ap- pointed to direct the serenades, with power to select a subcommittee on fire works and firewater, whose duty it shall be to ring the curfew bell and see to it that children of tender years are at home and in bed before the festivi- ties begin" The motion was seconded by Bert Brewer, and unanimously passed.
 Al. Higgins offered a resolution that "Whereas, Norfolk has become noted as convention town and musical and university center; and Whereas, either the Music Shed or the Coach House on the Stoeckel domain offers desirable accessories in the way of acoustics and capacity; and Whereas, the Stoeckel brand of hospitality is known and ap- proved the wide world over; therefore be it Resolved, that the forthcoming annual meeting of the Wurra Wurra Club be held at either the Music Shed or the Coach House, and that Mir Stoeckel be invited to attend, as guest of honor"
 The fat member hoisted himself to his feet. ''Seems t' me" said he, ''you're goin' at tn invitation bizness hind-end foremost. Seems t' me I'd give MT. Stoeckel' chanst t do sum invitin' fust. He s a member O this Club, but he hain't never tended a meetin', so far as can remember, an seems t me that if he wants tn annual meetin' held in tn Music Shed he'll let us know. Now I make motion that"
 "No motion may be entertained while the resolution is pending," said the chair. "The question is on the resolution. There was no discussion, and the resolution was adopted.
 "Mr. Chairman" said George Ford, rising to his feet. 'I would like to make a few remarks"
 "Yes, yes, know" said the chair, interrupting. "You want to make some remarks about the condition of the streets, and the necessity for oil. But that matter is getting into shape to adjust itself, and we will defer the remarks until some future time. Call the next case" " MT. Ford sat down.
 "Mr. President" said AL Herri- man, 'I wish to offer motion that committee be appointed to inaugurate for doing the Christmas shop ping early" MT. Holsapple jumped up and suggested that the Club keep its hands off the shopping question, and devote itself to the proposition for get ting new industries to settle in Canaan. This developed controversy in which Eugene Rowe and Fred Collin almost came to blows, and the chair averted possible bloodshed by calling the meeting adjourned.
