On tlio opening of tlio meeting tlio secre tary announced n communication from Eu faula, Ala., making charges against MaJ. Drawbar Jones, an honorary member of tho club. Ho was charged wlthi 1. Going on a rabbit hunt while his wlfo lay at tho jiolnt of death. 1 Putting burrs under tho saddlo of hlsold mulo to got up an artificial enthusiasm. Brothor Gardner said that It was ft ques tion for dobate, and Qivoudam Jones nroso and observed that ho could novcr voto to con vict a brother on tho first charge, Whllo thero might bo no question that MaJ. Jonos went out to hunt rubhlta whllo his wlfo lay dying, what was his objoctf Was it for amusement, or was it to provldo her with rabbit soupr Tim accused should bo given tho bonoflt of tho doubt. As to chargo No. 2, that was a different matter. A man who would put burrs under his saddle, whether that Middlo was on a horso or a mulo, do servod tho severest condemnation. Wnydowu HoIkxi couldn't oxcuso tho ma jor forgoing on that rabbit hunt. A dying wifo docs not caro for soup of nny sort. As to tho burrs undor tho saddle, thoy might havo got thero by accident. Even if thoy woro put thero by dosign thoro was uo ovi donco that tho mulo objected. Ho owned a mulo whoso demeanor could not bo changed ono ioiu oy nu mo uurrs in tuo stuto or Mich igan. Shindig Wntklns, Elder Toots, Samuel Shin and others argued pro or con, and tho question of whothor tho major should bo bounced was put to a vote, Tho voto stood 43 for and -M against, and ho thus escaped by tho skin of his tootli. Dotrolt Krco Press. II o Clime to III Tormentor. A friend narrates tho following rather ;ocoso inciucnt: rrocoeuing down Joyktreot not long sinco, his attention was called to a llttlo negro ly who was crying pltoously, and alternating his outbursts by munching a glowing huod red poper. Tho tears were streaming down his ebony cheeks and ho was bellowing loudly alxjut tho burning bensa tion in his mouth and throat, totally oblivi ous of tho fact that tho iioppcr was tho causo of his troublo and that ho was continually aggravating tho pain by ondeavorlng to mas Ucato tho pungent nrtlclo. Tho narrator, noticing his troublo and its causo, stopped forward and snatched tho popper from his hands and throw It Into tho street, w hereupon tho black urchin sot up a mOSt VOClforOUS howl anil (Ifisliixl nftni- lila treasuro, whllo a burly nogrcss rushed out of u uuurwuy, uviucnuy imnicmg ner ciuju uau been abused. Tho well meaning pedestrian did not linger to explain. As ho departod ho caught a gllmpso of tho obonlzed gamin again in posiosslon of tho popper and yelling and munching as before. Adapting a frag ment of a common quotation, it was a caso whero Ignorauco is bliss. Bostou Budget. A Hotter Job for Illru.
