Passing It On.

The clerk filled out the marriage 11 cense and handed it over. “Thank you,” said the young man. “Hold on! That's $2.” “Two dollars!”—-—— - - “Yes; did you suppose we gave those things away?” “I certainly did. Chargin’ a man $2 for a sheet of paper that didn’t cost the county more than a nickel, at the 1 outside, is robbery. Have I got to pay it?” “You’ll pay it or you’ll hand back that document.” “All right,” said the young man, tak« Ing a bill out of his pocket, tendering it to the clerk, and waiting for hie change; “but I can tell you right now you ain’t robbin' me! You're robbin* the preacher! He’ll get just $2 less than I was goin’- to give him!” Pocketing the change and tilting his hat back on his head, he stalked out of the office with the air of a man who had been imposed upon, but who knew how to get even.—Chicago.Tribune.
