that seem to cut like a knife into the tender flesh and
nerves. After Rheumatism becomes chronic there is al-

The secretary of the Bachelor's Club
is In receipt of the following letter:
.Oklahoma, Feb. 14, 1901 To our dear
Bachelor Friends of Astoria: At the
last regular meeting of the Spinsters'
Club, your letter, urgently requesting
our speedy return , to Astoria, was
; read. The enthusiasm with wtoioh It
was received Is beyond the power of
my pen to express. The tender-hearted,
sympathetic, clinging maidens find
ing it no linger passible to turn a
deaf ear to your earnest appeal, and
propose to return at an early date. A
motion was duly made, seconded and
thlrded that our annual convention
be held in Astoria, at Flsber's opera
bouse, Friday evening, April 4, 1902.
The motion was unanimously carried,
amid expressions of great Joy. It may
,be well, dear bachelors, to inform you
now that the following dear sisters
are .taken: Ophelia Arvllla Pitkin is
now Countess Ketcbum; Rachel Re
becca Short Is Mrs. Malaprop; Jessie
' Juliet Smith is Mrs. Launderstadt,
and Anastasla Melissa Hugglns Is
' Mrs. Afraid-of-His-Face; they are
, anxious to introduce their husbands to
their Astoria friends.
In happy anticipation of our meeting,
I remain as ever, sympathetically and
. clinglngly, ,
