Wanted to Be Bare to Hold Hubby Number Three.

The officers of the thumb-print bureau were just wishing for something interesting to turn up, when a telephone message offered timely diversion. A woman was speaking. “Do you make prints, of anybody’s thumbs except criminals?” she asked. The bureau did. “Well,” said the woman, “if I come down right away with a man will you make a print of his thumbs?” The bureau would. The man and the woman came. ...' ” “W;e wapt his thiimb prints for identification,” said the woman. “We are going to be married tomorrow. ,He is my third husband./ The other two ran away and I had the hardest kind of a time to flfid them because there was no sure way of identifying them. They say thumb prints never change and that a man cap* 4e tracked to the ehdß of the earth. I hope I shall never have to use them, but it is just as well to be on the safe side. Will you make them?** The bureau did.—New York Sun.
