* 1B = i. ! WANTED TO MARRY TWO AT SAME TIME ' Chicago.?Abu Nardin. may his tribe increase, although it looks rather \ doubtful at the present writing, tried to get married today. He put on his best fez and his reddest sash and arrived at the marriage license window - . .i in the county building:, with tne omm optimism, peculiar to swains who ar- j rive at the marriage license window j in the county building. Abu's mastery of the language ne | hadi"learned in the last five years was J a bit vague. But this did not dete? j Abu. For two years>Abu had been courting, with a fine 11. partiality, a buxom waitress in South Halsted street named Bessie. And the time had now come for marriage. j For half an hour Abu fumbled with j the blanks which are handed the optimists on the public's side of the ! marriage license window. The clerk in j charge, catching sight of him, asked if nonld be of any assistance. Abu. i with a merry laugh, answered that he ! could. "I get married today," said Abu in j his own dialectic way, "and I want two blanks." , "Why two blanks?" inquired the clerk. "1 marry Emma and Bessie." said Abu Nardin. "I have promised them both." M/uch argument followed. Abu. growing more and more indignant, demanded finally to know why a man j couldn't marry when he wanted to, I i pointed out that Emma and Bessie were in love with him and that he would be doing either a violent injustice to marry only the other. After which argument. Abu left in high dudgeon, his face set in grim Itnes. It appeared from Abu's excited remonstrances that he deemed the socalled freedom of his new country a snare and delusion, for in Stamboul, where he had once been a citizen, he could have married as many Emmas and Bessies as he liked.
