MILWAUKEE, Wis, May 22.--

cern. The young pepole had known
each other since last September.
The little girl, however, knew that
her mother approved of the mar
riage, for the wedding had been
planned to take place in Milwaukee,
with the mothers consent. When
the mother accompanied the young
people to the marriage license clerk,
however, it was learned that all
sorts of legal technicalities must
first be met before Wisconsin's laws
would allow the youthful girl to be-
come bride.

Doctor Who Dreamed of
Owning Circus, Does Buy
One; It's a Dream Circus

SAN FRANCISCO, May 22.-As a
boy DR.. James Brown dreamed of
owning circus. To be the boss
of the big top" was his life's ambi-

the opportunity to buy a real circus
presented itself.
n't was one day last week that op-
pOrtunity, in the form of an attrac-
tive young woman and man of dis
tinguished appearance, walked into
DR.. Browns office.
The man, A. B. Clark. owner of
"Clark's Wonder Circus and Wild
Animal Show" wintering in Gurney-
vile, New, wanted to sell out. DR..
Brown could have the circus and
everything that went with it for
$4,000.
Give me $2,5OO," said Clark, "and
pay the balance as you earn it,"
DR.. Brown accepted. He was now
a circus proprietor.
But before closing up his medical
office and departing to take over the
show. DR.. Brown thought it advisable
to wire the man in charge and tell
him that he was the owner. The
message was returned, for two reas
ons:
There was no such town as Cur
neyville. New, and the telegraph
company never heard of the circus
in question.
DIR. Brown swore to q warrant fol
