When a man, probably lutoxlcated, applied for a license yesterday, Leo turned him away. "I am not familiar with tho law upon this point. If there Is a law governing my refusal to Issue mar riage licenses, tho requirements have been fulfilled," said tho auditor, "but I know my duty, nnd I will not Issue a license to a drunkon man." The would-be brldo, an attractive young woman, nnd her mother wero with tho. man and seconded his plea for tho license. "I haVe .known this man for sev eral years and he Is not an "habitual drunkard," pleaded tho motbor. "He met somo companions and tbok a few , drinks too many; that is all."

According to present Indications, two large buildings will go up on Enst Main street during tho next few months, replacing somo of tho old wooden structures which have here tofore by their tumbledown nppear nnce created adverso criticism.

A Fleet Little Animal Found Among the Sand Hills of Arabia. How long the Arub has inhabited the deserts of the near east is a much dis cussed question. How long he has iu duiged In the old time sport of faleonrj It is equally dlllicult to say, Sure It is that' this keeu blooded race has not lived nil these centuries In those sun scorched wastes without some sort of recreutiou. and his delights today are probably much the same us those of his ancestors n couple of thousand rears ago. Curious to see what natural sport taese barren regions could afford, the writer accepted an Invitation to, Join a party of Syrian . Arabs for a week's hunting. Our quarry was the rock bare, an animal about the size of an ungnsn rnuiut. put wuu very uue ie voloped ears., whlcj) frequents theso deserts In small numbers, living on what scanty hOrbace It van And. We started .straight it way In search of It by forming a chain about n quar ter of a mile long and drawing like ly tracts of desert In long neiniclrculnr sweeps. " The herbage was very scant Indeed. These sand hills. belngHcorch ed by n tropical sun nnd having a yearly rainfall of only some three Inches, support but few plants of any kind. I noticed 'n few Insectivorous birds pilrsiilng their prey with keen voracity, ns (hough they found It hard to tunke it living, but saw uo trace of wild animals. On we marched In silent order, mere ly following the lend of our falcon bearer, whose face seemed Invariable; his manner unmoved. Hours passed by. It was now 11 o'clock. The sun was hot above us. drying up our parched lips. I began tu think thai rock hares must he a myth when sud denly the hound leaped forward with sreat bound, uur Imrwes Instlnrtlvi lv following nt full gallop. But we hail nor far to go. It was only a "irnr hour." The hound was sunn up l" ! and 1 thought It wahll over: but no - the little creature leaped, as It wero right out of his mouth.
