Some Marriage Yarns
JeffersonvilIe, Ind.
February 23rd, 1914.

Leader Enterprise,
While | was at home for the
holidays you published a story
about the marriage business in
Jeffersonville. A number of pee
pie stopped me and asked whetb-
er or not | could verify the story,
SO | have collected some data
and am sending it to you.
! am sending you picture of
this main marriage parlor of
Oscar L. Hay, which is situated
next door to the interurban
station. so that couples wishing
to be married cannot help but
lind it when alighting from car.
Magistrate Hay informed me
that he performed 1850 cere-
monies last year, and that he re-
celved anywhere from a tooth
pick to $3.50 as a fee He has
a record of eighteen ceremonies
In one day, and has married three
couples IN one ceremony. This
morning he married couple who
We're so poor that they had one
dollar less than enough to paw
for the marriage license. There
Is another magistrate here named
keigwin, who is a great rival of
Magistrate Hay. His marriage
parlor is at the ferry landing.
and thus couples who wish the
Knot tied have no trouble in hay
ing it speedily done in jefferson
vile. | am also sending YOU one
of Q. L. Hays cards with his
motto on it which reads as fol-
lows:
If a man loves a girl, That's
his business.
If a girl loves a man. That's
her business.
If they want the knot tied.
That's my business"
Hoping this will be of interest
and that you can find room for
its publication, l remain.
Yours truly,
M. B. Cohen,

Tourists Here in
Famous FPushmobile'

Ralph S. Miller and j. A. j. de
Lion, two youths from philadelphia
stopped in the city today on their
way from Philadelphia to San Fran
cisco. The two travellers are making
the trip in their "Pushmobile.
which was designed and built by Mr.
de Lion, and is the only one OF its
kind in the country.
The car is the most unique piece
of automobile machinery which has
ever been seen in this country. The
car resembles a cycle car, but is
widely different when it comes to
construction. The machine is
mounted on four 1S-inch wheels
with solid tires. The whole affair
is so light that it may be easily
pushed up any hill or through any
mud hole.
The two tourists made the trip
from Philadelphia direct to Chicago,
thence to Denver and from Denver
through Colorado Springs and Pu-
ebIO to Trinidad. From here the
trip will be made over the Scenic
Highway to Ration and then over
the Old Trails Road to the coast.
They are taking the trip lcisurcIy
and do not expect to reach their dcs-
ttnation until early fall.
