The other day candidate for mat
rimonial honors applied to the Clerk
for license which was promptly grant
ed. The Clerk suggested to the candi-
date that County Judge Bullock (being
an expert in the tying of connubial
knots, and having on hand large and
extensive assortment of styles -"coun-
try orders executed with neatness and
dispatch, would gladly make two low
ing hearts one. The swain, without
hesitation engaged the Judge and re-
tired to bring his loved one. When he
returned. his intended was with him
bearing in her arms a child, who had
evidently first glanced at this world
about seven months ago. A difficulty
arose in the fact of the want OF apprecl-
alton of the youngster of the magnitude
and Importance of the ceremony,
and the embarrassing position the lady
would be placed in during the perform
ance of the joining-hands act OF the
drama. What was To be done? The
question did not long remain unanswer'
ed as the basso profundo of Clerk Ho'
gins voice warbled ''rm a father to the
widow and husband to the orphan" he
took the child in his arms and hummed
a variety of nursery rhymes to the hor
ror of the child, who, having good eal
for music, was terrified into silence
Judge Bullock then blandly said
"John, do you take Jane?" eyes,
said John. "Jane, do you take John 2
Eyes" she replied. "Then join you
right hands-man and wife-one dol
lar" said the judge. AS the two pass
ed out hand In hand, the bystandsri
sweetly warbled the "Dead March il
Saul" p. S.-They took the babl
with them.
