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.
