MINISTER GETS REPUTATION
IN A NEW GRETNA GREEN

Washington.-There is a time wher
the gentlemen belonging to "the learn
ed professions" Stunned notoriety and
advertising. That day, however, is
passing, and now some very reputable
physicians and lawyers as we'll as min
listers Of the gospel are using the
press and other means of publicity
to extend their fields of activity and,
possibly one might add, usefulness.
One of the latest to seek the benefit of
printers ink is Washington evange-
list, Rev. James Madison Little, who
conducts nilsson in the chapel He
has but lately filled lony-felt want
by opening an office near the marri-
age license clerks office and he re-
mains there daily during business
hours to welcome lovesick couples who
want to be welded with as little de-
lay as possible. He has a parlor, and
completed his first month in this Of
flee, and he has married 40 couples
and hopes to do better. One reason
why such marrying parson" seems
to be necessary in Washington is the
fact that the law requires that ap-
plicants for marriage license must
designate who is to perform the cere-
mony, and as many strangers come
here to wed, they are sometimes at
a loss whom to designate. Rev. Lit
ties fame is sure to spread, and with
Il the fame Of Washington as a new
Gretna Green.
