not often that one Is favored with music

known, as the "hungry seven," on his
wedding night, as was the experience of
Leroy B. Cramer. He and Carrie Delia
Seal were married at the home of the
bride's parents, 429 East Thirteenth street
North, Wednesday night. Soon after the
ceremony was performed he was sur
prised to hear the band strike up a merry
tune. This was augmented by fire
crackers and cowbells" In the hands of
s-mall hoys. The bride ventured out to
thank the musicians, but Cramer re
mained indoors. It is Intimated that em
ployes of the Oregon Electric Railway
secured the band for Cramer's benefit.
