meeting between the couple an under
standing was arrived at and it seemed
to be mutually understood that matri-
mOny was to be the paramount issue
in the mountaineering The only
question which seemed to be trouble
some at all was What shall the price
be-" It was agreed that there should
be an ante-nuptial agreement and Mr..
Cooper proposed at the first offer that
he would settle $4,000 upon his wife to
be, providing that she outlived him and
that if she should die first that her
estate should receive $500. This did
not suit Miss Stookeye, who wanted an
even $4,000 before she would enter
the matrimonial deal with the "old
gent" as she referred to him. After
considerable dickering, which consum-
ed the major portion of the four
months of the courtship, a compromise
was erected and half of this amount
accepted, and on the 10th of April the
ceremony was performed by the pro-
bate judge in Kansas City. There were
numerous misunderstanding in refer
ence to the matter of the marriage
ceremony, for Mr.. Cooper felt that
there should be a wedding to which he
could invite his friends and this did
not suit the bride.
