The WuPPa Wurra Club

1t was a beauty night; mild, Ian guorous and altogether perfectly lovely. The balmy air was freighted with at- mosphere and moonshine, and perfumed with the cheerful chirp of the cricket, the twinkle of million stars, the odor of locomotive smoke, the flashing of lightning bugs and the musical drone of mosqitoes. That ought to be enough, in the line of perfume. And under or dinary circumstances, it would be. But just at that instant sound was heard-in fact nothing but a sound could have been heard, with all that going on. It is one of the inevitable conclusions of the higher metaphysics that when sound obtrudes itself in a zone where perfume has permeated to the exclusion of what is otherwise known as rarified, or say for instance ether, or chloroform, sometimes called dope for want of a more correct term, as you might say. But the president, MT. Allyn Fuller, would not do that. No indeedl He called the meeting to order. From that time forward the proceedings moved along. The roll was called by the secretary. Jerome Root read the minutes of the previous meeting. Fred Collin sang the Open- ing Ode, accompanied by George Ford on his Tyre. Then the dance was on, for fair.
 A motion was made by Dr. Ross that the janitor be instructed to follow out the suggestions thrown out by the eminent health experts at the recent meeting of the County Public Health Association, with regard to cesspools, and see that the Clubs 'cesspools were cemented up and fixed according to the plans and specifications of the associa- tion, to preclude the possibility of mis- chief by germs, bacilli and microbes. "
 The fat member got up. Said he: "I hain't half so 'fraid O them germans an bicycles an microscopes as I be about some other things. Now as long as we hain't got no cesspool in this Club don't see no sense in cementin' it up; but I'm in fav'r of tn Public Health idee, jest tn same. Now speakin' about tn tariff an tn currency Legislation, I'd like t call your atten. tion-"
 Ned Roberts bobbed up to remind the chair that the gentleman was out of order, and the, fat man squatted. But Dr. Ross's motion was withdrawn.
 .Ex-Mayor Rowe stood up. "Mr. President" said he, "I would like to have the Club consider the matter recently brought up in letter to the paper, concerning the necessity of some poet writing a song on Where is my Wandering Girl Tonight One cannot go out on the streets, on any night, without being impressed by the manifest need of a little tighter rein being held over our young girls, as we'll as the young boys, on the part of parents and guardians.
 George Ford took the floor. '"The same conviction has forced itself upon me-, said he. "Our children are per- mitted to run altogether too wild. And by and by, when the evil results begin to make themselves manifest, some of the parents and guardians will bitterly regret that they had neglected their own duty in not keeping stricter watch upon their girls and boys. tell you, they are trotting a pretty fast pace -"
 "Who? The parents and guardians?" interrupted Dan Sweeney.
 "No sir; the girls and boys, " replied Ford. "And by and by the results will make the parents reproach them selves"
 "Has the gentleman any motion to make, on the subject ?" asked the chair.
 "No sir; have no fear of my own children going wrong," was the reply.
 "There is no motion before the house," said the chair. "Is there any further business ?"
 Clint. Roraback got up and stated that Dr. Corwin had asked him to assure the meeting that his minority report on the Smith Hill celebration would be ready to submit to the next meeting. Adjournment was then voted.
