cOnsutnWGte the marriage tias oNcii-
ing. When everything was ready for
the ceremony to begin. Hans was
called upon to produce the legal per-
nit. He drew from his pocket what
purported to be a marriage license, but
which upon examination proved to be
a summons issued from the DISTRICT
Court on the 18th day Of July last. 1t
had been returned by the Sheriff and
had been filed BY the County Clerk.
Hans insisted stoutly that the docu-
ment was correct and waxed very
wroth when the Judge declined to tie
the connubial knot. Pending the de-
Law in the consummation Of the a
rage, some beer was ordered for the
bridal party. One OF the bridesmaids
got considerably enthused n called
poor Hans hard names. The latter
iabors under the impression that he Is
the victim Of conspiracy, and intends
to make It lively for some one on duty
in the County Clerks office.
