CUPID BRINGS GOOD BUSINESS
TO MARRIAGE LICENSE
MAN.
Fifty-Four of the Cherished Permits
Granted During Flowery Month OF
June-Cupid Scattered Some Thorns
But Bells Have Rung JoyfuIly.

Despite an i'll fated beginning, Gu
pid. who has played curious pranks
in the marrying business during the
month of June, has done nobly during
the past three days and has brought
the number of marriage licenses up
to the proud number of f1fty-four.

corded during Tuesday. Wednesday
and Thursday Of the present week.
While in the main the marriage
bells have rung out joyfully, as they
should in the flowery month of June.
and glad hands and happy hearts have
been united in an unusual number of
beautiful weddings, yet Cupid has
thrown his thorns in the pathways of
some of those who longed to be mar
ried. The record kept in the big
leather volume in the Wapello county
