BASHFUL MAN COMES HERE TO
 WED DIvORCE:E:

Michael Flanagan. clerk of the Su- periOr court was accoated this morn ing in the Court house by Mrs. Frank Futile, nee Miss Ruth Itaynor, who appeared to be in the neighborhood of 30 years. Mrs. Futile told the clerk that her friend, George Lang, who was about the same age, had a question to ask him but he was very bashful. The clerk asks Mir. Lang what the Quesion was but the inter rogated one merely turned his head and blushed.
 Mrs. Futile came to the rescue and said: He wants to get married"
 ''To who?" MT. Flanagan inquired.
 ''Why to me" said Mrs. Futile. You see I was divorced about 25 years ago. but he ain't never been married before and he's awful bash ruI. We're from Waiting River, L. l. and because I was divorced in Long Island I have to go out of the state to be renarried, so this morning George and me drove down to Port Jefferson in the buggy and then took the ferry boat over to Bridgeport"
 The bride-eIect seemd quite dis appointed when MT. Flanagan in formed her that they would have to remain in the state days before they could get a marriage license. So the lovers retraced their steps to the ferry boat and the buggy and horse, waiting at Port Jefferson and thence to Waiting River where tneo will wait until opportunity presents itself.

(Coutinued from Page One) number of inventions have been aplied to procure a majority de- cision. In some cases all the candidates run in a primary; the two highest run in the election; one or the other must have a majority. Another solution is the preferential ballot, by which the voter expresses his first, second, third or more choices which are added until some can didate has a clear majority.
 
 George points out that the Labor party may at any time seize England upon this frag- mented ballot. In America, the Socialists have seized some cities in a three cornered fight.
