riage license.
Mr. West gave bis occupation as
a druggist and stated that he is 75
years old. He said Mrs. (Jlpsou, who
was only last week granted a divorce
by Juge Blnckstone. was 73 years
old, and that they would be quietly
married on Thursday. Mr. We?l
sold he had never married before
and described his wife-to-be as a
divorcee. ?

little surprised to have a request
fir a license from a man of Mr.

Oi net's age was stated the clerk
?w.i'j "shocked" beyond expression.
The combined nges of the pair Is
just 148 years.
