One of the best April fool jokes perpe-

young lady in a daring way asked a
bachelor of forty-odd summers if he
would marry her. He replied that he
would.
He at once went to the telephone and
called for the probate judge.
Please issue a marriage license to J. d.
B. aged As, and a. c. l.. aged
D." he said.
The young lady collapsed and began to
weep.
Il thought you could take an April fool
joke she sobbed.
Il can but you can't he laughed as
he observed that he hadn't rung on for
connection even with central.
