was selected to act as best man for a
number of important weddings, and
soon | found that the expense attached
10 such events was more than my
purse could stand. About two years
ago a man whom I had known a long
time asked me to act as his best man,
and ! farnkly told him that nothing
would please me more if | could af-
ford it, but that financially was down
and out | told him that besides the
iced of a new evening suit for the oc-
Casion it would cost me from $40 to
so to give his bride a wedding gift
that would be proper for such an af-
'air. AS a mere guest / could wear
my old dress suit and send her a $40
gift, and 10 one would think the worse
of me; but as best man | would be
dubbed a cheap John If / tried any
such trick.
The man who wanted me as best
man talked it over with me for long
time. PIE said he wanted me to stand
up with him because he knew that |

to- me. He figured out what my ex-
Nenses would be and then added 800
to the sum He offered to pay me
his amount If | would be best man,
and guaranteed to keep the matter
secret This gave me an idea, and
told him | would accept his offer,
but with the provision that he was rot
to keep the story of my fees secret
after the wedding. ! saw that if a rich
man. like himself was willing to pay
for aid at the crucial moment that
there would be others who W Ill want

Next morning / received a check
for my fee. Not only that, but he gave
me this diamond scarf pin I am wear
ing. In return / made his wedding the
success of the season. Everything was
done in the best of style, every guest
was loud in praises of the affair, and
not until six weeks later, when he re-
turned from his honeymoon, did he
breathe a word about my Part in the

Disseminated in telling about my fee
In the first place he tcld some wealthy
young fellows who we're contemplating

result was that | have had a fairly

Looking to National Convention.

The county committee met at
Hartford last Monday aud fixed
Thursday, May Z, AS the date OF
the next county convention,
which will be held at Hartford
This convention will elect dele.
gates to the congressional dis
trict convention called to meet
in Cassopolis, Monday, May H.
and also delegates to attend the
state convention at Grand Rapids,
Tuesday, May II. The Cassop-
oils convention will elect two
delegates aud two alternates from
the fourth congressional district
to attend the national convention
at Chicago, June Is. According
to the system of rotation in vogue
in the selection of national dele
gates, Barry and st. Joseph
counties should have the dele
gates this year and Allegan and
Berrien counties the alternates.
Marshal L. Cook Of Hastings
has been endorsed by the repub-
licans of Barry county and Mr..
Cummins of Centerville by st.
Joseph. AS alternates Berrien
county will present the name of
G. K. Warren of Three Oaks and
Allegan county Mr.. Watkins. 1t
is probable that the above named
candidates, who have been en-
dorsed by their home counties,
will be ratified by the Cassopolis
convention.
The state convention to meet
in Grand Rapids, May Il, will
elect two delegates at large to
the national convention. One OF
the alternateS will undoubtedly
be John w, Blodgett Of Grand
Rapids. Indications are that the
large majority, if not the entire
state delegation, will be for VIM.
III. Taft for the next, presidential
nominee on the republican ticket.
Since the fourth congressional
district was formed as it now
exists, Cass county has had two
national delegates, two alternates
and one elector, st. Joseph one
delegate, one alternate and one
elector, Barry one delegate, two
alternates and one electOr, Allie
gan one delegate and two alter
mates, Berrien one delegate and
Van Buren, two delegates, one
alternate and one elector.
