of excellence by a continual round of
applause, which the troupe appreciated.

and blended to perfection. While they
were darkies. not coon song was ren-
dered but it was classical, religious
and familiar music that even every

What You Must Tell When You Get.
M0rried.

Are you thinking of getting married?
If you are you must post up. for you
will have to answer lot of questions
These are in addition to the usual ques-
tions asked you by the Probate Judge
when you get license.
They are sent out by the state board
Of health and the answers must be re-
turned to it These are not asked by
the man who issues you the licence to
marry, but the man who commits the
ceremony.
You must tell him your name and the
maiden name of your bride; the name
of your father and the name of hers;
the maiden name of your mother and
the maiden name of hers; your color
and hers; your residence and hers; what
you do for living and what she does
for living; the date of your marriage
and by whom were you married; were
you married before and how 0ftens was
she ever married before, and how Of
! ten.
Well, that's about all, excepting the
signature of the probate judge before
the blank goes to the health board.
And, by the way, there is another
thing that maybe you didn't know; yoU
don't have to get married in the cOun-
ty you get your licence in. Just so yor
get married in the same state. it's al
right. = Salina Journal
