Some years ago there was a Fourth
of July celebration at a town In north'

pastor of a church. During the day
several out of town' couples came to
the parsonage to be married, and one
husky bridegroom as soon as the knot
was tied, asked : "What are the dam.

no particular charge for marrying peo
ple, but left the amount to the gener
osity of the groom. "Thank you,'
said the. young man, "I'll do as much
for you sometime," and walked out,
leaving us all convulsed with laughter,

bride would go no farther until
