Didn’t Have So Much Unincumbered Property.

A young member of the Chicago Produce Exchange, who was courting the daughter of a citizen of Indianapolis, didn’t waste over a month’s time before asking for an interview with the father, and saying: EL, “I understand that Kate’s dowry will be $25,000.” “Yes.” “I’ll take her, but as times are preearious l should feel safer if I had a first mortgage on $50,000 worth of unincumbered real estate. Give you two days to think of it Send-the abstract of title over to me as soon as possible.” He hasn’t married Kate yet.— Wall Street News.
