One of the club members interrupted the clearing away of the plates to su gest that he had found a key which he thought might ‘belong to a guest. No one recognized it upon its being dis- yed. “Just a moment,” was suggested, *the tag might -identity it. ‘Key to the back door of nations.’ On the other side it says be slipped in the pocket of Secretary Hughes, when he is not looking. Signed, Lloyd George. “Does the Secretary of State want the key?' was asked. His Pockets Sewed Up. A club member standing back of the Secretary of State reported that “Secre- tary Hughes declines the key and gives notice that he has all his pockets sewed ?I‘hen there was the sad case of the Amierican business man wheeled into the hall in a rolling chair, a sorry- looking spectacle. He seemed pretty nearly “all in.” He had been run over by a motor truck of the Interpational Deflation Company. Asked l! there was no cure for him he replied, “not while I pay a forty-cent tax out of a thirty- cent income.” It was suggested that a big tax be placed on burlesque shows, whereupon he protested that the ouse , of Representatives re- fuses to tax itself.” A word tax on speeches in the Congressional Record was rejected because “something was needed to turn the farmers’' wind: mills.” A tax on bonehead politicial was turned down because “the; keep any record of their sales. Finally after many suggestions had been declined he was asked if nothing could be done for him. Through Witk Quacks.

I am._ willing to take a prescription from Dr. War- ren G. Harding, but I am through with quacks.” A skit on books and authors served to introduce several writers who were present as guests. Members of the club gathered around a'table and dis-|. cussed a pile of books thereon. “Here i8s a book, the ‘Outline of His- tory. by H. G. Wells,” said_the spokesman. “Who is H. G. Wells?

He was asked to stand up, whereupon some fifty men arose in their placei ith gladsome smiles. “8it down,” was cried; “the author- ship of that book is anonymous, not unanimous.” A song was dedicated to Chief Jus- tice Taft, the chorus of which ran ay follows: , He looks for the silver lintig When'er a cloud appears in the blue, Eems that somenhers the un is shining And toat the right thing to_do Ts make it shine for you. iways ‘Our great Cutef Justice William Of course, & play on th- “farmers’ bloc” in Congress was to pected.
