We believe in n clean kitchen, a
neat wife in it, clean cupboard, a
dairy, and clear conscience.
We believe that to ask mans

come tired of it, Children are frequently

Who Intcrferes With the Securing Of
Marriage License.


Marriage License.
After the juvenile swain has worked is
frenzy up to the matrimonial pitch, and h as
crowned his aspirations by gaining the con-
sent of his inemorata to speedy marriage,
he generally considers that his cup of earthly
bliss. is filled, and that in arranging the
matter with his sweetheart, the thing IS set
tied. So at least thought O young man of
this city, who vowed eternal allegiance to
the mistress of his heart last Sunday even
ing, swearing by all the stars that she Cnly
was the damsel of his choice, and that not
even death could mildew their lofty and
immortal affection. In the calendar of alb
surdities, there is nothing that SO
captivates the spoony boy Or girl
as the idea of clendestine marriage, and
when his or her progenitors object to the
consummation by marriage Of thoughtless
vows, made in ths moods of abstraction in
cident to confding and callow youth, about
the first expedient thought of is the suoter-
fuge of secret marriage. The subjects of
this narrative are young people Of well-to-do
and highly respectable parehtage, but in
making up their matrimonial programme
they overlooked the fact that, as both were
minors, that their actions were still subject
to parental control and family jurisdiction.
However that may be, tho young people
we're bound to be married, and fearful of
having their hopes frustrated in the event of
their secret leaking out, they decided to
forego consultation with their seniors OF the
matter and take the chances of going il
alone. There is threadbare saw that
speaks about woman not being able tc
keeps secret, and whether the young lady
in the present instance is to blame for Civ
ing the thing away is not known, but certain
it is that their intentions became known Il
theryoung mans father, who proceeded to
take measures to anticipate their realization
With this object in view the young gentle
mans father called at the Office of the dis
trict court, yesterday morning, and afte
explaining matters requested that should hi
son call for license it be not given to him
About two hours after the father had notifie
the clerk to the above effect, the young ma
came into the Office and with half radian
visage politely poured his wants into th
confding ear of Cupid's emissary, MI. jim
my O'Brien. The latter was 10th to shatte
the young mans expectations, but the dut
had to be performed, and was discharged
the pleasantest manner possible. The effe'
may be imagined, but it is safe to aey that
greater shock could not have been produce
had the young man been suddenly plunge
into an ice bath.
