PREVARICATORS ELECT OFFICERS.
i he Largest Attendance «r Any Meeting
—All Want Office— Good Stories.
The regular meeting of the Ancient
Order of Prevaricators met last Tues¬
day evening in their hail, and owing
to the absence of Chief Prevaricator
Holland, who was busily engaged in
writing a book, “IIow to Play Whist,”
and the absence of Colonel Way, who
is attlie sea shore taking his regular
annual bath, Stewart McCollum, a
newly elected member, but who al¬
ready has gained considerable noto¬
riety among the members, was asked
to take the chair. Bro. McCollum
said: “Now, brothers, we have gath¬
ered together this evening for the
election of officers and also talking
over this “ice war.” I want no long-
winded speeches or arguments why
this club should bind itself down on
whose ice we should use. Supposing
one ice firm should fail and the other
firm would not sell us ice, where would
we be if Captain Dickens couldn’t get
ice to cool off his celebrated “Malt
Tonic?” This is a serious question,
Prevaricators, and should receive your
hearty consideration.”
“Willie Johnson will take the office
of the Little Pee wee, and Harry Iva-
brich the chair of the Big Pee-wee.
Owing to the absence of Chief Jones,
who has sent in a good and sufficient
excuse, Sheriff Handley will guard the
doors of the outside portals in his
usual happy way, not forgetting to ad¬
mit all well qualified Prevaricators.
Colonel Rj man will take the position
of Tyler, as he has the reputation of
seeing farther through a key hole than
Ed Burch. Frank Papworth will take
the office of the exalted bung-starter
and W. J. Josey the royal can opener
chair. If there is anything I have for¬
gotten, brothers, please correct me, as
this is my first attempt in calling to¬
gether so exalted a body. What will
be the pleasure of the meeting?” “I
move, spoke Bro. Cohen, that we hear
from the ice men, and why is it we
can’t have ice for 5 cents per hun¬
dred,” Serious objection was made
by Mr. Stansborrough. Mr. Littlefield
and Mr. Smith. The chair ruled that he
had no power to make the gentlemen
speak on this question, but they were
at liberty to write a few newspaper
articles. The following applicants'
names were read: W. O. Wilson, E.
Clute, Wm. Ritchie, E. K. Nelson,
Dr. Deniston, Charley Renard, Sam
Jones, J. T. Boyd, T. W. Hayde and
Frank Bauder. The ballot was spread
and it being found clear, all the can¬
didates were declared elected to take
the bung-starter degree. On recom¬
mendation of Ed Stallings, an honor¬
ary member, Dave Hall and Major
Glessner, of the Georgia Southern &
Florida railroad, were unanimously
made honorary members for life. Ob¬
jections were made by Frank Pap¬
worth on the grounds that Dave Hall
was in debt to him to the amount of
SI. This was denied by Willie John¬
son, and the objection was withdrawn.
On motion the following officers were
elected for the present term:
Grand Exalted Prevaricator—Perry
Holland.
Keeper of the Outside Portals—
Chief Jones.
Big Pee-wee—Harry Kabrich.
Little Pee-wee—Willie Johnson.
Tyler—Colonel Ryman.
Grand Bung-starter—Frank Pap¬
worth.
Royal Can-opener—T. W. Hayde.
Treasurer of the funds—Fred Clark-
On motion it was unanimously de¬
cided that the initiation fee be placed
at $5 annually in advance to the
Grand Prevaricator. On motion of
Captain Dickens, it was agreed that
all surplus funds at the end of the
year should be devoted to the building
an air line from some point near Ivlon-
dyke to Fitzgerald to furnish ozone to
the members of the organization. The
following original story was told by
Professor Childs:
STORY OF PROF. CniLDS.
My experience in Alaska. My
friend, Charlie Lincoln, and myself
were located at Sassista Pass about
100 miles from the now well known
Klondyke, Alaska, in the winter of
1887. We had built a comfortable
cabin and were each working on our
own mining claims; mine being about
half mile west of our cabin and
Charlie’s about two miles in the other
direction. The days were short, and
as we would each work until dark, I
reached the cabin earlier than him,
and would be preparing supper when
I would hear his voice approaching, as
he was a remarkably good singer and
yoddler.
After a few weeks Charlie’s music
ceased, and thinking he was getting
low-spirited I spoke to him about it,
but he stoutly denied having stopped
his singing on his homeward trips, so
it remained a question of veracity be¬
tween us, each doubting the other,
until a passing voyager explained to
us that on account of the extremely
cold weather all sounds in the open
air were frozen up. This settled the
matter between us, and everything
went on again swimmingly, until in
the early spring I had the misfortune
to break a limb, and Charlie started
out to the nearest settlement (a dis¬
tance of 180 miles) to get a surgeon.
I lay there alone six days with food
and water within reach, thinking how
long would it be before Charlie’s re¬
turn, when the afternoon being warm
and pleasant, I heard, softly at first,
then increasing in volume, Charlie’s
old familiar yoddell. I heard it for
an hour then it gradually died away,
and I knew that Charlie had lost his
way, and perhaps his life in the woods.
So I lay for two days’ longer, bemoan¬
ing Charlie’s fate, and my own proba¬
ble death, when the door was thrown
open and Charlie walked in, a cheery
greeting on his lips and accompanied
by the doctor. After some question¬
ing Charley said that two nights pre¬
vious lie was ninety miles away from
the cabin—and proved it by the doctor.
The mystery of the familiar yoddell
then had to be explained, the solution
being finally reached by the doctor
who explained that the warm after¬
noon had thawed out Charlie’s song
of the last three months that had been
frozen up, and the familiar strains
that I had heard two days ago, had
been stored up in the atmosphere for
months only awaiting a warm day to
release them.
