DRUNK
MAN
WANTS LICENSE
Appears at County Office nnd Asks
for Marriage License Is Re
fused in Spite of Ear
nest Pleading.
(United Press Lonsed Wire.)
EVERETT Wash.; Nov. 10. Any
man who desires to obtain a marriage
license to wed In thlsf- city will have
to convince P. T. Lee, auditor of
Snohomish county, of his sobriety.
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."
Lco ohdurate and tho party
left.
Hl Boots.
Major Green said to his servant one
morning; "James. I have loft my mess
boots out. I want them soled."
"Yes. sir," tho servant answered.
The major, dressing for dinner that
night, said again. "I suppose, James,
that you did ns I told you about those
bootsr'
James laid 35 cents on the bureau
"Yes. sir." said he. "and this Is all
could get for them, though tho corporal

'Oh. dear." sighed' the pretty heiress,
"I'm so nwfully miserable!"
"Why are you miserable?" queried

twners, Messrs. Root and Bnyart, and
a now business building on that spot
will probably bo erected in tho spring,
