Prospective bridegrooms say some queer
things and create some interesting and
amusing scenes when they apply to the
court for their marriage licenses. They
generally come alone but are sometimes
accompanied by their lady, and some
times, in cases where she is under age, by
her parents or when both are under age
by his parents also. in which case the mat
ter of obtaining license is gone at in
direct manner by the parents who soon
dispose OF the bashful pair.
when the man comes alone" says the
clerk, Miss Taylor. ''he generally asks
first: Is this the probate court?' and be-
ing informed that it is asks il the judge
is in.
"No, but he will soon be in. What is it
you want? Is it nothing can do for you?
mo, no: it is on very important busi-
ness. says he with emphasis on very i'm
portant.'
"If the Judge happens to be in it is gen.
orally: Are you the probate judge?' and
being informed that he has guessed Alright
the question follows.
rs this where they get licenses?" and
when the judge assents the earnest you ng
man. for they are all such, says II want
one of them"
Last week there appeared tall strong
man apparently dressed in his Sunday
broke in upon the sOlemnIty of the court
in great earnestness with 'Is this where
you get spliced?"
Get splired young mans You don't
appear to be broke, what do you want to
get spliced for?"
well Pm not broke but want to double
up. Me and Sailie have decided to hook
together for life"
''Oh, well' said the judge ''this is the
place. You want license" but as the
Judge started to fill out a license the young
fellow stopped him with ''Well l don't
know about that. How much does one of
them cost" and was only induced to take
one when it was explained that all judges
charged the same price and that it was
absolutely impossible to get along with
put one.
and wanted to see the judge very privately
md when he was asked if next week
would not do. he began to blush till IA
title bald spot on top of his head grew
led as he said, mo, NO. then it would be
,oo late. Another wss in a great hurry,
vas dressed in conventional black and
plainly showed that he was ready for the
whats the matter" said the Judge.

With "Oh. don't ask me. Hurry up, or
will be too late. l didn't think of license
i'll my partner asked if l had one. It's
lime now for the wedding"
Some young men very confidential tell
