People who have lived in cities where

have great difficulty In understanding
the system in vogue here. They cannot
realize that the services Of minister or

the impression that license was neces-
sary he started ont to secure one. He
wandered around the postotfice and the
various municipal and county buildings

place where licenses were to be had.
Finally he managed to explain TO .
policeman that he wanted license, al
though he was unable 10 make IL clear

officer directed him to the place where
dog licenses are issued, and the happy
suitor paid his fee and received the
precious paper.
That evening the German and his
blushing affianced went 10 the house of
q minister to have the Gordian knot tied.
When the bridegroom proudly handed
over his dog license the worthy pastor
could hardly perform the ceremony for

Relative Strength of Men and womem.
