The Wurra Wurra Club

A balmy night i'll June, whose twi- perfume of roses in bloom, and musical with the cheery chirp of the cricket-a night for dreams of love and laIguor. We'll, it was not that kind of a night on which the plot of this story was laid. It was far different. There is as much difference between the two nights as there is between anything. And yet there is, between some things, a differ I ence without distinction, viz: "a gentleman of distinction" meaning a statesman, or a college president or perhaps hero of the flood, such as "a tide in the affairs of men, which, taken at the flood, " that is, when the water is high, as during a freshet, or cloud burst, a species of weather frolic popu- lar in Kansas, the breeding ground of wheat, which has gone up, like "Go up, thou bald head, a cranial affliction attributed to the activities of a scalp microbe, or bacilli. or german, thus: ''The Germans capture several thousand French" or a state of war, namely, "When Johnny comes marching home again." which he may come on crutches, or it may be forever, though his life might have been saved if it had been taken ill time, but the president, Mir. Ivan Cam, butted in at the critical moment and ordered the members to come to order for the transaction of such business as might. regularly come before them, under the usual sardonic Ha aclyaI Charlin paa,,5nY, to read the minutes of the last meeting, and Mir. Beaujon responded by reading Governor Holcomb's message, prefaced with the explanation that he had for gotten to bring the minutes. MT. Henry B. Ives then rose, cleared his throat, and sang the Opening Ode. accompanied by Deputy Sheriff Lew Rhoades on his physique, MT. Ives accompanying the accompanist on his own. After that came the olio.
 MT. Hosea l.. Ross, (the dentist, got up and said he would like to be so kind as to ask Messrs. Ives and Rhoades to repeat the performance, as it reminded him so much of something he had never heard before. They wouldn't do it.
 George w. Ford moved that the Club give a reception and banquet in cele- bration of Representative John Graves s appointment to the legislative com. mittee on Capitol, furniture and fix lures, and the committee on Constitu- tional Amendments. Henry Whitford seconded the motion, which was carried unanimously, and Al. Herriman, Fred Collin and ex-Mayor Rowe were ap- pointed committee of arrangements, with instructions to secure the services of the Bustanoby cabaret girls who so winsomely thrilled the bald-heads at Winsted last October.
 MT. Strong took the floor. "Speak ing of banquets. " said he, "I would like to inquire how many members of this organization are members of the Cornpop and Sasf 'rilly Club, of which have the honor to be president. Will they please hold up their right hands. " Fifteen right hands went up. "Thank you," said Seneca. "Do not forget the Herriman banquet, to be pulled off when the hotel repairs are completed. It will take the shine off any previous banquet given there" Then he gave the grand hailing sign of the order, which the other members could not understand, and sat down with great deliberation
 The committee on moral character reported favorably on the nomination of Marcus H. Holcomb and he was unanimously elected to membership. The meeting then adjourned.
