A lad not over 20 years old decided
a few days ago to give his mother
little surprise. He planned to take
her with him when he went to call on
his girl and then to her establishment
summon preacher from some con-
venient hiding place and stand up
with the girl and get married. The
bride agreed to the scheme, and the
husband-to-be set out for the license.
He gave his age to the license clerk
as 81, but as he appears even young
er than he is, the license peddler was
impolite enough to question his word
and insist on proof. Inquiry revealed
the fact that the applicant had made
a slight mistake in figures, and that
there was noticeable disparity be-
tween his statement to the official and
the one made to the man who wrote
him for insurance. Thereupon, he
was commanded to run along home
and bring back with him the written
consent of his parents or guardian.
To add to his embarrassment, he
found that he not only could not keep
the secret from mamma, but that he
could not even spring a surprise on
the neighbors, as the woman next
door had to be called in to witness his
mothers signature, and as the news
had a day and a half to spread itself,
it made good its reputation for its
penetrating, carrying qualities
