The Wurra Wurra Club

The evening star was twinkling merrily as it watched a irritation be-
 tween Venus and Ursa Major, while Taurus, (the bull, was snorting and paving the clouds around the Milky Way, as if he had just struck fresh bovine trail. The air was full of sparkling particles of crystal frost that turned every fieeting breath to smoke and spurred the wayfarer to do his wayfaring on dog trot. It was cold that's what. And yet, after all but what's the use? Why dwell upon it when it avails nought? These vaYa- ries of the celestial realm-the Milky Way, Ursa Major, and others of that stripe-concern the dwellers upon this mundane sphere only in the same de- gree as the Nebular Hypothesis affects the reason, that is, the faculty for argu- ment, or dispute, as for instance, My right there is none to dispute," or con test the claim, which is a legal proce- dure applied to wills, viz: Where there's will there's way to bust it, '" indicating avarice or selfishness, one of the meanest vices we ever saw, as fol- lows: First person saw; second per. son see-saw; third person buzz saw, ." which is a useful utensil in the saw mill, but cruel and heartless when used as weapon of self-defense, us it lays open the human system, from the left clavicle to the salivary gland if one falls against it while in active opera tion, though it depends a great deal upon the angle. Therefore the presi- dent, MT. Eugene T. Rowe, a former mayor, hesitated for few moments after calling the meeting to order, be- fore requesting MT. H. E. Lyles to read the minutes of the previous meeting. When that feature of the occasion was over, however, the Opening Ode was beautifully sung by MT. A. H. Herri- man, accompanied by Sam Reel on his transmitter. Then the meeting was declared open for whatever might happen.
 MT. Watson Hardenbergh moved that a committee be appointed to organize a commodity fair" similar to the one booked for the Methodist church this week. Its a great idea," said he. "We will get the dealers to furnish the stock to sell at bargain prices for the benefit of the Club and to the great ad- vantage of the purchaser. For in- stance, judging from the prices adver- tised for staple commodities at the church air, we ought to be able to offer coal to the public at $3 a ton; fur-lined overcoats at $2. 90 each; patent leather shoes at 90 cents n pair, or 45 cents each, and so forth; and if the mechanics are willing to cooperate we can adver- tise to shoe horses all around for 35 cents team; clean watches for 10 cents apiece, or"
 "I second the motionp shouted the fat member. "I'm in fav'r O rejoocin' tn cost O high livin', an I offer a 'mendment that we give vote O thanks U tn Meth 'dists fir tn idee."
 The motion as amended was unani- mously carried, but when the char came to appoint members of the com modity fair committee to interest the local tradesmen and mechanics in the general price slaughter, nobody would accept the appointment, and the matter was hung up.
 MT. Holsapple then said he would | like to get the sentiment of the meet l ing as to the advisability of institut- ing an "every member canvass" like | the one about to be adopted by the loo al to increase both the member i ship and the revenues of the Club. Ut look to me like a good thing" said Mir. l "and I am convinced that it would be fine feature for our winter work"
 Do you offer that as motion?' asked the chair.
 "No sir," replied MT. Holsapple. l offer it as one of those things they have in the tin-shop, for strengthening stove pipe elbows" "
 "That being the case, " said the chair, i've will now adjourn, disperse and go to our several homes." That ended it.
