Steward. Yes, poor man, he took to his bed soon as he heard of it.
Mr. H. Heard of what?
Steward. The bad news, sir, an’ please your honor.
Mr. H. What! more miseries? more bad news? No! you can add nothing more!
Steward. Yes, sir; your bank has failed, and your credit is lost, and you are not worth a dollar in the world. I made bold, sir, to come to wait on you about it, for I thought you would like to hear the news.
HOW TO DRAFT
Constitution and By-Laws
FOR THE
ORGANIZATION AND CONDUCT OF LITERARY
SOCIETIES.
All permanent associations formed for mutual benefit must have a Constitution by which they shall be governed.
Where it is intended to organize a society for the intellectual improvement or social enjoyment of its members, a number of persons meet together and select a name for the organization. The next step is to appoint a committee, whose duty it shall be to prepare a Constitution and code of By-Laws for the society. These must be reported to the society at its next meeting, and must be adopted by the votes of a majority of that body before they can take effect.
