QUAFFEO FLOWING BOWL
Honeymoon Trail to Ham
mond Beset With
Difficulties.

They were on their honeymoon and
they were both too drunk to spoon,
Not quite that bad
Jack O'Connell and a young woman,
who gave her name as Mary Doe to
hide her identity, came to Hammond
to secure marriage license.
AS usual they found that they could
not secure the much coveted document
here and would have to go to Crown
Point to get it. That was indeed a
sad state of affairs. In fact it iso
got on their nerves that they both
went into a local saloon and started
to burying their grief in the flowing
glass while they waited for the train
The train came.and went, but before
it arrived the sparkle of champagne
bubbles had become more interesting to
both of the young people than a trip
to Crown Point for a marriage license
and SO they let the old train go to
Crown Point without them
1t was not long before they were
both intoxicated, not to say, drunk OF
anything else you want to call it. anc
at o'clock when they ventured out
into the open they were picked up by
the vigilant officer. This morning ths
chief of police took compassion on then
and they were both released.

good one
