Celebrate Tin Needing,

MIR. and Mrs. Claire A. Galley cele-
brated their tin wedding last Thurs
day evening and the members of the
Anniversary club, with one or two
exceptions, were there to participate
in the festivities. That it was a tin
wedding was clearly apparent from
the presents which were forced upon
Mr.. and Mrs. Caley-the- house was
full Of all sorts and conditions of tin
ware and goodly pile was stacked
up outside the kitchen door. We
say ''conditions'' advisedly, for Doc
McRae and Heine Plaas disfgured a
dishpan or two by using them for
drums.
+ The supper :. was served on tin
plates and the lemonade in tin cups.
while the piece de resistance-a big
roast turkey-reposed on tin platter
made especially for the occasion.
Although everything was served on
or in tin, it tasted just as good as if
the dinner, service had been gold
plated, say the boys, and there were
some veritable epicures present.
There was a feast of plenty followed
by a flow of soul and games of cards.
i During the celebration Doc McRae
slipped out into the night and
organized chariyari party, which
proceeded to the back of the house,
seized tin pans, and KETTLES and
created a pandemonium which
brought the party, to the. door en-
masse. There the serenaders de-
manded money and Claire was COM
PEELED to pass over couple of dollars
before they would disperse. And
they would have carried off the tin
ware had it not been for Heine
Plaas, who, with the aid of a club
and German epithets, persuaded
them to drop it. When they re-
turned to the house Doc McRae was
found sitting in an easy chair pre-
tending to be asleep. The occasion
was one round of fun. and frolic, as
are all celebrations. where the Ami
yersary club is present.
