"Tu shave the back OF your neck

minister agreed. While the neck was
being shaved he recounted the we'd
ding OF a middle aged couple who
had driven 20 the parsonage one
Saturday afternoon.
They had gone TO the county
seat for their license, he said, and
were on their way home for the
wedding. The town in which we
lived then was abOut eight miles
from their home town, but they had
decided they couldn't wait a minute

the damages? 1 replied that the
matter was entirely UP to them, and
after great deliheration she handed
me a dollar and a quarter.
AT o'clock one evening a young
woman and a young man came to
inquire if I would marry them. I
expressed my willingness, but dis
covered that they had no marriage
license and weren't aware that they
had TO have one. After being ap-
praised of the fact they drove to the
county seat, u miles away. found
that the office Of the county clrek
was closed. but finally located the
gentleman at the theater. At 1880
o'clock that night they got me out
Of bed 10 marry them.
AT another time, in the middle
Of the ceremony the groom pulled
out his watch. and asked if I would
mind waiting two minutes before
pronOuncing him and the lady man
and wife. We waited quietly, and
when the time was up I finished the
ceremony. The groom then explain
ed that he had been born on the
18th day Of the 18th month and that
he wanted to be married 2 minutes
after u. In view OF this fact
thought that a fitting wedding fee
would be S12-but it was only two.

not regard the wedding vows and
the wedding ceremony seriously

the spendthrift starts saving the

circles gossip from afternoon TO
afternoon on the possibilities of this

tives begin a tentative selection Of
silver vases or candle sticks. Dress
groups of excited young ladies are
seen in the department stores dis
cussing the relative merits OF a sim
lie lace over drape or a full length
train, and the red headed bridesmaid
lives in hopes that the color scheme
will be one into which she will fit
Just what element it is that makes
the spring the time for weddings
has never been discovered. Balmy
breezes, perhaps, and full blown
flowers are partly responsible, but
more responsible is the young lady
who appears in her spring ward
robe, too alluring TO be resisted.

Good Force Promised.

All the newley elected policemen
were called to meet with the Mayor
and the members Of the police COM
mittee of City Council on Friday eve
ming. They were informed Of their
duties in general and then instructed
to read the statutes and city ordin-
ances in order that they become thor
oughly acquainted with the laws
which they are expected to enforce.
Mayor Samuel and each member Of
the police committee let the police
men understand that tho Chief Of
Police is to be given their hearty sup
port in the enforcement Of law and
that each policeman is supposed and
will be required to strictly obey or
ders.
Policemen are expected to be cour-
teous to all citizens and more espe.
cially to women and children and are
expected to make themselves useful
in every emergency arising on the
public streets. They are to be espe-
cially attentive to strangers and assist
them in finding their way to various

VALERA RESIGNS irish
REPUBLIC PRESIDENCY
But Retains Hold Until Vote On the
Br1tsh-Irish Treaty Comes
Before Dali.

Dublin, Jan. 6. - Eamon De Valera
resigned the presidency of the Irish
republic today, presenting also to the
Dali Eireann the resignation of the
cabinet. He told the Dali he would
offer himself for reelection standing
on the principles of 1916.
Later, however, he was understood
to say that he would postpone his de-
cision to leave office pending vote
on the peace treaty with Great Britain
If the vote was taken within forty
eight hours. He coupled his resigna-
ton with the statement that, whatever
happened, he would retire to private
life, but almost in the same breath he
spoke of selecting a new cabinet if he
was reelected Chief Executive.
From these conflicting assertions
the inference was drawn by those at
tending the session of the Dali Fire
ann that If the treaty was rejected Mr..
De Valera would remain in office and
endeavor to negotiate new treaty
with the British Government on the
basis of his alternative proposal, but
II the Dali accepted the treaty he
would definitely retire from public
life.
De Valera said he must have cab
met which thought with him, and he
would demand that all resource be
given him to defend the republic.
When De Valera announced his res
ignation Arthur Griffith objected chat
the matter before the Dali was a mo-
ton for the approval Of the ANGLO
Irish treaty.
