groom was saying, but according to
the old story he never finished the sen
tence, for the clergyman just here
CHANGED to look down at the ring and
he refused to conclude the ceremony.
1t was all because the wedding ring
provided by the bridegroom had set
in it. and. although the set was dia =
mond. which some consider Symbolca
of domestic felicity, the Clergyman was
ohdurate.
Perhaps he was q descendant of Ger
tain Irish peasants who have long be-
iieved that no marriage was legal an
less the bride wore a plain gold band.
But if many clcrgymcn are of such belief
today there will be, hundreds of inter
ruptcd weddings in our country, for

gold hoop ring and the plain band one
of mothers and grandmother day.
Clarice's new wedding ring, bought

proper thing, so Clarice says, gave n
shock to mother and grandmother and
other elderly relatives.

The purchasing agent was sure that
he ordered the goods correctly. The

weight was correct.

he never spoke if he could help it.

Here's the answer. The straw
boards came in January 10. I looked
up weather for that day and it rained
hard all day. Stuff stayed there a
week. This room opens to the street
and it's quite damp there. The pack
age was weighed and removed and it

Ing Man racing toward it could see il
from far away Cranky Jimkins got
such start by meanly rushing past
the Laughing Man after the latter had
pulled him out of the clay hole that it
seemed certain that he would win.
But Cranky Jimkins was taking no
chances. He drove madly--forcing all
others out of the road. About mile
from Farmer Fields home he came
upon an old farmer driving n one horse
rig. When the farmer didn't get the
rig out of the way fast enough, Cranky
Jimkins cut around to, the side instead
of slowing down as he should have
done. There wasn't room enough for
the truck and rig on the narrow road.
Crash Cranky Jimkins smashed into
one wheel of the rig, and over went the
buggy into the ditch on top of the old
farmer.
Cranky Jimkins never stopped, but
spcedcd up faster than ever.
The Laughing Man was right behind
Cranky Jimkins. He still had chance
to win, for his truck was fully as
speedy as that of his rival. But when
the old farmers rig was tipped over
Laughing Man again forgot about the
race. His only thought was to aid
the man under the buggy. He brought
his truck to a quick stop. Billy jumped
off and caught the horse before it could

rescued the old farmer.
