CUPID NEGLECTS
HIS BUSINESS
MARRIAGE LICENSES SHOW
DECREASE
Eiqht Months Of Both 1906 ard 1907
Better Periods for Matrimonial
Ventures Than Same Time
in Present Year

For the first time in the history of
the county Cupid is taking a vacation
is sick or is too busy in other pleasant
pastures to attend to his duties in this
part of the universe. Whatever the rea-
son, it is certain his Incidence, forced
or otherwise, is affecting the county
treasury. for the number of marriage
licenses issued up to the beginning
of September this year showed fall
ing off of more than three hundred
compared with the preceding year, and
also fell below the number issued in
1906
When the clerk began his days work
Yesterday morning he was confronted
with the numerals 2979, showing that
double that number had been made
happy during the year. Up to Septem-
ber / a year ago 1856 licenses had been
issued. and for the same period in 1906
the number reached an even 3O6O. In
1905 the number procuring licenses was
1859. against 2170 in 1904 and 1861 In
1903.
A comparison with ten years ago is
hardly fair, except as showing the
strides the county has made in its pop
ulation. In 1898 there were 912 licenses
issued, almost three times the number
issued in 1888, ten years before. Going
back to 1S7S thirty years ago. 80 per-
sons are found to have taken out
licenses. and for the same eight months
in 1865 the records show 43 licenses. The
rapid strides of the city and county
may be gathered when it is remembered
that during the years 1852, 1858 and
1854. when Los Angeles was just slip
of a town, the number of licenses is
sued was IL.

HONORABLE ALIAS
OF HASHIMURA TOGO /
VISITS LOS ANGELES
WALLACE IRWIN ARRIVES WITH
THREE NEW JOKES
Author of Letters of a Japanese
schooIboy" Tells How California
Lures Him Away from
New York

Wallace Irwin, author of Letters OF
a Japanese Schoolboy," now running IN
Golfers Weekly, and many delicious
little bits of Josh" verse such as
who's Zoo in American" Senator
Copper's House, and the "Banad OF
Grizzly Gulch," passed a few hours III
--os Angeles yesterday, told three new
Jokes and left for San Francisco. The
interviewer was requested not to re-
peat the jokes as they had not yet
been copyrighted.
Mr.. Irwin, who registered at the
Alexandria, Immediately led the way
to a place where liquid enthusiasm is
dispensed and ordered two glasses Of
a beverage whose ingredients were
chiefly sour milk and hashish. Drink
two of these" said Irwin, "and you
will get the honorable stomachache.
This is the first time I have been In
Los Angeles in five years." said irwin
when the sour milk and hashish began
to fight each other. When l go back
east l usually say oh, yes, California
is great, but 1t is oVerrated. Then all
of a sudden 1 get a feeling around the
equator such as a small boy gets when
he smokes his first pipe. / do not rec
ogniZe il at first, but pretty soon II
comes over me that 1 am sick of the
east and the call of the coast grips
me hard. Then buy ticket west and
play MdTk 1Wdlil d ldlCWOll 6oAlS Va
billiards.
"I remember" said Irwin as he
tossed five kopecks to the bar boy,
when that very rhyme you were talk
ing about-the Ballad of Grizzly Gulch'
very nearly got me in dickens of a
mess. l once made a speech at the
Aldine club in New York and it almost
made hit. They let me say anything
| wanted to and / felt just as much
at home as j. 1 were laying down four
queens to a potful. Then year later
they asked me again. l supposed, OF
course, l was to repeat the dose, and
put the manuscript of Grizzly Gulch'
in my pocket and never noticed that
the invitation said Presidents night
on it,
when 1 got to the Aldine club they
made me sit down at a table simply
lined with white-haired respectability.
Every literary celebrity who had at
tained years of discretion was at that
table. Lyman Abbott George w.
Gable, r. w. Glider and Hop Smith
were there. The youngest, next to me,
was S. S. Mcclure. The poem l ex-
pected to recte, accompanied with IL
Eliminating remarks, was sort of
humorous distortion of some of Presi-
dent .oosevelt's characteristics. Just
before I was to speak Hop Smith got
up and said, I live in Italy, but three
months of every year I come to this
country to renew old associations and
to visit that grand man who occupies
the executive chair at Washington.
Any man who says a word against
that man here tonight is a cur,
caitiff and a What-not.'
"I shifted the manuscript of the
Ballad of Grizzly Gulch' from one
pocket to the other and when 1 arose
to speak I said something about it's
being a. lovely evening and sat down"

Should you read novels at meals or
should you TALK Which is the better
for digestion? There's a common sub
ject for hot-weather discussion on
piazzas Of summer hotels. One person
says: Don't read at meals. especially
an exciting novel. as It interferes In
directly with digestion. Ones mind is
6xed intently On the book. when all at
tention should be given TO the process
OF masticauon; consequently the
blood which should be helping diges-
ton is rushed from the head"
"A tranquil condition Of mind and
body is needed to insure perfect d.
gestion. I think It is far better for
one TO dine in company. When the
diner talks he naturally prolongs the
meal, thus giving more time for the
food to be digested"
