The Wurra Wurra Club

1hTh! Is IlhE Ille IelepnOne NO, It's the clock striking 7:46, or eight minutes to eight. The moon is not yet up, but in spite of that it is chilly, although the wind is blowing. All of which denotes conditions of weather, or the science of heat and cold, better known as the seasons, and sometimes called meteorological phenomena for short, although goodness knows, but it controls what we astronomers call the i ver1al equinox and influences the sub- strata, or air, to wit: "Trifles light as air." that is, feathers, or down, such as ''Drink 'er down, drink Ter down, drink Ter down." which denotes the rapid approach to state of intoxica- tion or hilarious joy, as follows: "Therell be Joy By and Bly," mean. ing ill the future, which is only a species of time measured by the suns revolution on its axis and depending on the conjunction of the equator with the ruling planets consisting of the Big Dipper, the tropic of Cancer and Zodiac, to whom the Almanac is dedicated and prints his photograph on the first page with gaping wound ill his foreground and showing all luis insides ready to be operated on us a warning to others to shun the flowing bowl, let cigarettes alone, an never whittle toward you. Therefore when the president, MT. Ned Roberts, got ready he ordered the meet ing to come to order, which it done so, and Lew Rhoades called the roll and read the minutes. He was succeeded by Joe Blair, who sang the Opening Ode, accompanied by Attorney and Counsellor -at-Law J. Clinton Roraback, on his mandamus. Here ended the first lesson.
 MT, Fred Collin got up and made motion that every member who had made good resolution on New Years day be required by the chair to stand up and tell what luck he had had with it, up to date. The motion was seconded by ex-Mayor Rowe, but George Ford spoke against it. He said it was out of order, unconstitutional, an infringe ment upon individual rights, unparlia- mentary, bad taste and worse judg- ment, and altogether undesirable.
 "Aside from that is there anything the matter with it ?" asked MT. Collin, sarcastically.
 "Yes sir," retorted Ford, "aside from that it is contrary to the statutes, from which will read a chapter. '
 "Mr. President," said George Har- denbergh, II move that the gentleman be requested to dispense with the read ing, and sing us a song, instead. '
 fl,A al, Messrs. David Whittlesey, Dr. Adam, Rev. E. c. Gillette, Gus Caldwell, Dan Sweeney, A. w. Holsapple, Lester Adams, Horace Humphrey, MT. Ross, (the dentist,) Al. Hugins, Howard Slats, Frank Whiting, Con Hitchcock, Allyn Fuller, Bert Brewer, and one- legged man from Ashley Falls, who had gotten in by mistake.
 Clint Roraback butted in to remind the chair that there was already a mo- tion, made and seconded, before the house before this song proposition was launched, which must take precedence.
 Do you offer that us motion, too ?" asked the chair.
 "I de-" said Mr. Roraback.
 Do what ?" inquired Ford.
 ''Do hereby and hereon," replied Roraback.
 What do I do now ?' asked the chair, turning to Deputy Sheriff Rhoades.
 "Well. if it was me-" said Rhoades, "Id order Seneca to yell 'Firer out ill the hallway, and let the meeting ad. journ itself. :"
 But the chair had mind of his own, and got out of the fix by ordering the whole matter referred to the commit tee on foolishness.
 MT. Creevey then moved that the Club organize brotherhood supper. Said he: We have as good q mixture of religious and political creed in this Club as they have in the union brother hoods, and there is no good reason why we shouldn't have as harmonious u square meal as they have in the church parlors. ''
 But where are your lady walters coming from ?' asked Ed. Warner If our Woman's Auxiliary were or ganized now, we might talk about brotherhood supper. But where be they ?''
 "Why not swear in the suffragists ? or the Camp Fire Girls or the sopranos and altos of the Choral Society ?" per sisted MT. Crcevey. But nobody had the courage to second the motion, and the matter was dropped, and after the application of Marcus H. Holcomb for membership was referred to the com- mittee oil moral character, the meeting adjourned.
