hunting the license office" says the
Detroit Free Press.
When he found it and had drawn up

"She doesn't look it," responded the
gallant clerk, with bow.
Perhaps not; but she is, mister"
The girl gave him tender little shake
and told him to hush up.
Listen to her, he said to the clerk,
with chuckle; listen at her. Don't
know nothin' bout herself at all, she
don't. Wants me to hush up, but 1
won't. Say, mister, can't we get Ii

"A marriage license1" inquired the
clerk.
That's what, he answered, with con-
ident pride.
For you and this young ladyl asked
the clerk again.

said, slapping the clerk across the shout

over, and took the fee.

fool in ten States, he said, as he stuck
the license into his pocket.
Look at her, will you? Slick as o

Ter like me. Now say, mister, did you
