Stop Game of Cards to Get Marriage License

INDIANAPOLIS, IND.-A suggestion
u from friends that they get married
at once, made half in fun, it is said,
caused John Patterson and Miss
Emma Shepp to disturb a penuchle
game in which John Rauch, county
clerk, was playing. They sought
Rauch in order to get marriage
license, and they aroused Mayor
Shank from his SAUNDERS shortly
after midnight that the mayor might
perform the ceremony.
1t was not a full dress affair-far
from 1t. The mayor was clad in a
pair of trousers, his nightshirt and a
Prince Albert coat, and also wore a
pair of shoes, which were unlaced.
Patterson and Miss Shepp were out
calling on friends, when some one
suggested they get married at once
1t was agreed it would be lark"
and an automobile was called.
Rauch's home was visited, and he
was induced to leave penuchle
game and go to the court house about
11:00 p. m. and issue a license.

suggested.

make the devil blush, and he would
hesitate to introduce them into purga-
tory.
There was a time when statues
were made of graceful dancers, but
today there is a crying demand for
statutes against dancing which is dis
graceful. The dancing whirlpool of
society has drawn into its drowning
depths many of the best craft that
ever sailed LIES sea- The dance YOU
have witnessed has degenerated from
devotion and diversion into dissipa~
ton and debauchery. These rag
dances are animal In name and ma
ture and often as much more passion
ate than the oriental dance as Vesu-
vius is warmer than an iceberg.
We seem almost ready for the
naked dance proposed by Plato in his
ideal republic. The animal world is
libeled. Mr.. Bear and Mrs Turkey
were never guilty of such antics and
doubtless look with surprise and
shame at the dances which bear their
names"
