TOO YOUNG TO Wed,
GIRL GETS PROOF
Mayor Rage is Convinced and
Marries Addie Rhodes and
Albert TackwelI.

After they had been refused mar
riage license on account Of the extreme
youthful appearance of the bride, Al
Tackwell and Addie Rhodes, yesterday
afternoon managed to put through a
deal whereby they obtained their IL
cense and were married by Mayor
Rage.
The couple employed an autoist to
take them TO Jackson where they ap-
piled for their license in person before
Recorder c. S. Siemers.
There seemed to be little doubt about
the age of young TackweIl. The cou-
pie presented happily spectacle as
they lined up before Siemcrs and re-
quested the license. They were we'll
dressed and the girl was pretty.
SiemerS baked on the girls age. He
was skeptical as the girl protested she
was more than Is and old enough to
get married
What the couple said was worth
hearing. Eventually Sicmers remark
cd:
"Tell you what I'll do. I'll fix out
a marriage license and send you back
over to Mayor Rage in Cape Girar-
deau. You have someone verify the
age on this application and it will be
all right. Mayor Rage then can go
ahead and issue the license to you on
that condition"
The couple assented and after OBJ
tanning the papers from Siemers sped
back to the Cape in their auto. In the
Cape the girls aunt, Mrs. Clark James
swore to an affidavit that the bride
was of a manageable age and the
wedding nuptials proceeded, the Mayor
performing the ceremony.

CHAUFFEUR STUDENT.
FINDS AUTO BALKY.
J. p Langford of Chaffee Unable
to Start Machine When it
Stops to Rest.

When J. Z. Langford, of Chaffee,
superintendent Of the Ruch Hoop and
Lumber Co., last night started out to
try out his new motor car, an instru-
ment he purchased and had received at
p. M. yesterday, he had his conf
dcncc in motors and magnetoS sadly
shaken when he got stuck with dead
machine carly this morning in the
Cape.
Langford, who has driven machines
for considerable timC-but other makes
than the one he bought-got his new
pet from J. W. Miller of Jackson.
Miller drove the car down to Chaffee
to make the delivery.
Langford was so impressed with the
running Of the machine he decided he
would deliver Miller back home in
Jackson. He got couple friends of
his at the lumber yards, W. NJ. Gray
and James Luman, and the four men
started out for the Cape.
The new ear worked fine. The en-
CINE didn't hum, like a great many
motar car engines. 1t purred.
1t took scarcely no time to drive into
the Cape, where Miller announced he
would go to Jackson in one of the reg
ular Cape-Jackson automobiles.
No! Nothing must do but Langford
was to try out his car on the Jackson
road. He got Miller home and in bed
in good time. Then the party returned
to the Cape.
As they approached the Cape, Lang
ford noticed the working parts seemed
to resent the absence of the dealer and
manifested their displeasurc with all
occasional grunt or a wheeze.
Things went well, however, and in
the three men started home. They
proceeded south on Spanish street to-
ward Good Hope, where they expected
to connect with the Rock Levee road.
As the car carefully approached
Merriwether street things began to
happen inside. This was at half hour
after midnight.
The engine sputtered along and
Langford began trying various switch
es and things that you push with your
feet and pull with your hands to make
the thing go.
The engine heaved a tremendous
sigh at the interruption by the tyro
at the wheel and after few whirls
of the driving apparatus, the engine
went out-went to bed as one of the
occupants expressed it.
After several minutes tinkering with
the inside of the strange car, Lang
ford applied for help at the office of
The Tribune. He got Miller out of d
dream in which the latter was plan
ming what he would do with his COM
mission on the newly sold car.
"Pm busted down, Mr.. Miller. |
want help. This car O. mine is getting
cantankerous and Pm afraid it needs
your guiding hand. Won't you please
come over and get me home.
eve got to be at work by o'clock
in the morning-that's all we ask"
Miller rolled out and made the trip
in double quick time and got the en-
CINE to humming again. The new ma
