YOUNG WOMEN PLAY
JOKE ON BRIDEGROOM
PRESS FEEDER ASTOUNDED AT
MARRIAGE LICENSE OFFICE
Man Twenty=seVen Years Old Faced
with Supposed Note from Father
Protesting Against Issu-
ance of Permit

When Charles Ellis Lincoln, a press
feeder, obtained marriage license
Monday to marry pretty Conchita
Marie Hernandez, his mind was in a
peculiarly muddled state, for while
he was positive no opposition to his
wedding had been expressed by his
relatives or those of the young woman,
he was led to believe he was playing
the role of a Lochinvar
Let me see," mused Clerk Louden-
slayer, at the License bureau, when
Lincoln applied for the permit. II be-
lieve l have something here concern
ing this matter"
He fumbled about in the pigeon holes
and produced typewriter communi-
cation bearing the purported signature
of Lincolns father.
''I am informed my son will ask for
a marriage license, and I, his father,
protest against its issuance" was the
curt wording of the note read by the
son.
Applicant Astonished
'Wh-, VIII, What's that for?'
calculated Lincoln pinching himself.
Dunno; you've reached the mar
riageable age, haven't you?" responded
the clerk.
Lincoln said he was 27 years old, and
for further information of the clerk,
Salu ne was not ol unSoulli hiliu.
"Wait minute" said the clerk, as
he turned to answer a telephone call.
Returning, he explained to the mys-
titled Lincoln that the girls in the
printing house where he is employed
promised to say nothing about their
little joke if he would make the clerk
trustee for sufficient amount of
money to assure to each of them a
two-pound box of bonbons. The candy
was purchased and delivered later in
the day.

Venetian Coffee Houses.

The first cup Of coffee was drunk In
Europe at Venice toward the end OF
the sixteenth century. The Venetian
chroniclcr Moroslni In his records OF
the events In the year 1885 mentions
the beverage called 'cavee" drunk 10y
the Turks and noted for Its anti'sopo-
rife qualities. In the year 1891 a
Venetian doctor introduced the berries
from Egypt. taught his countrymen
how 10 crush them and brew the bev-
erage. and the use Of coffee soon be-
came general-so much so. in fact. that
Venice was full OF coffee houses where
the people idled away their days drink
Ing the aromatic beverage. A pecul'
larity OF the Venetian coffee houses
was that their patrons did not pay for
each cup Of coffee they drank. but
settled their bills for all the coffee
consumed at the end Of each year.
The regular price OF a cup OF coffee
was soldl. about 2H cents. aud In
come Of the old cafes Of Venice today
the same price Is stIll charged.-New

Forest fires spring up from innumer-
able causes. but they are usually the
result OF carelessness. Sometimes
camping party neglects to put out its
campfire before leaving. Sometimes
n match or a cigarette or cigar starts
the blaze. Disastrous fires have been
caused by gun-wadding which fell
among dry leaves. No one in the
woods can exercise too great care in
the matter of preventing fires. The
chief damage done by them is not so
much to the matured timber as to the
young trees, to which we look for our
humber supply in years to come. We
insist, and in this we are supported by
hll who have made a study OF forestry,
that only through the exercise of wis
dom in the use and care of our forests
will it be possible to make our natural
ly matchless timberland permanently
productive. There is nothing about the
practice OF forestry that is difficult, or
mysterious, or in any manner beyond
the grasp OF the ordinary, everyday
mind. 1t does not mean circumscrib-
ing or abbreviating the use of the
land. Far from it, On the other hand,
conservative, common-sense lumber

the young growth from fires, will bring
