DRAM IN REAL LIFE.
Two Men secure Licenses. but
Younger Swain Prevails.
Chicago Post.

Chicago Post.
"She won't marry me- What shall I do
with this license?' asked Michael Voice
chouski to-day of License Clerk SalmonsOn
as he stood before the window with a sor-
rowful expression.
"Well, l will change the date and insert
the name Of any woman you wish. and you
can go and try again" suggested Mr.. Sal
monson in an effort to jest with the dis
appointed lover.
mo. l will never try it again. 1 knew
that women were tickle, and l waited until
! was thirty-siX years old before l made
an effort to get married. replied Mr.. Wo-
~jeechouski, and he pulled the license out
of his pocket which gave him the legal
right to marry JOsefa Tyharska, and
showed il through the window.
Il do not care anything for the money, -
said the man. Il have paid for every piece
of valuable experience have had, and
guess that l will not break the rule this
time
In less than an hour afterward a man
giving his name as Anton Kaminski ap-
peared at the marriage license Office and
asked for a license TO marry JOsefa Tyhar-
ska. He gave his age and that of his bride
as twenty-one years. He refused TO give
his address or tell anything about himself.
Mr. Salmonson asked him where Miss Ty-
harska was, and he went to the outer hall
and brought in the woman. She explained
her action by saying that she loved Ka-
minski and did not love W~oOjeechouski.

WASHINGTON AND JEFFERSON.
Social Etiquette of Their Time the
Same as Now.

Era Magazine.
The President of the United States and
Mrs. Washington request the pleasure OF
Mr.. and Mrs. -'s company TO dinner
next Tuesday. at 4 o'clock.
An answer is requested.
1t is interesting to notice that this OLD
form of invitation is almost identical with
that used by later Presidents down to ouI
own time. The theory of the survival oil
the httest is indicated in this instance by
the fact that. after more than a hundred
years OF experience in official etiquette, nc
more appropriate wording for an invitation
TO the White House has been found thar
that used by the first President and his
wife. The form of invitation TO dinners and
receptions varied somewhat during the
years between that early time and our own
especially when Mr.. Jefferson was pleased
TO accentuate his democratic principles by
emitting his official title, as appears from
invitations 10 the Harrison Smiths, Mr.. and
Mrs. Anthony Morris and other friends and
contemporaries. One of these invitations
reads as follows:
Tn. Jefferson requests the favor of Mr..
and Mrs. Smith to dine with him on Tues
day next (26th), at half after three, and
any friends who may be with them. April
%. 1903.
The favor of an answer is asked.
However Mr.. Jefferson might choose Ia
scant the measure of form and ceremony
at the White House. there was no limit to
the generous inclusiveness of his hospital
ity. Edmund Bacon, the steward from
Monticello. in his recollections, said of the
way chock full every one of the sixteen
days l was there. There were congress
men. foreigners, and all sorts of people to
dine with him."

A Thoughtful Charity.

An aged merchant in this city has planned
a unique benefcence-an institution which
shall succor worthy ~self-supporting people

physical disability. Ii is this latter service
that is likely TO be most valuable. This new
charity will not compete directly with the
present hospitals, for ii will draw neither
from the well-to-do classes nor from
the very poor. but from the average indie
