suit.
I'VE put the clerks to a lot of
trouble" said Mike. Every dollar
counted and we were out looking
for the best bargain in wedding
suit we could find. Finally we de-
cided on very nice one that cost
$l2.50. | tell you | certainly was
proud of that suit when | wore it
next day.
Henry Dunn, at that time a cap
tain on the police force, was my
best man, and we certainly had a
fine wedding. A bunch of boys
eharivareed us and after they had
kept up the riot for while one OF

them a dollar. | made a speech
and said l was ashamed of them
for asking for a dollar. l said /
had been in many a charivaree my
self and we never took less than
$3.50. Then | gave them $3.50 and
those boys have been my friends
ever since"

in his whole life was to get mar
