An entertaining article entitled " Tony
Wclicr's Widows" appears III the Pennsyi-
vania RcpuJlicG1t, from which the follow
ing is an extract:
another very courtable widow was a
young lady OF Washington, Ia. She be-
came engaged to Il young man named RoG-
ert -, in 1916. Her father, however,
objected to this match with ono Of his
! clerks, and when the young lady received Il
/ tempting proposal from wealthy sllltor,
/ the Datc!llal influence soon effected a mar
riace, despite the former engagement. In
less than three months her husband was
/ killed by a kick from a horse. Robert was
a second time then 4 sllitOr, but delayed the
| important question until fifteen months
had elapsed, When, to his horror, she Ill
. formed linn that she was engaged. In three
! months thereafter she was married. Two
wears elapSed, when the married couple re-
| moved to Syracuse, New Ork, where,
among the victims OF the cholera, when the
pcstilence swept that cit, Was the second.
Robert again sought her hand, and when
year had elapsed, was on the eve OF Il de-
claratiOn, when 10! he received an invita-
ton to hc.. wedding. Her late husbands
business was found i'll such a state that to
avoid immense losses She married the sur
yiyiu~ partner. Shortly after, she removed
with he: third husband to Detroit, Mlcfl
gan! 4 few years elapsed, when herself

sentiments i'll her breast that she married
her brave prcscTycr a few months after her
third WiI0Vnood. The happy pain re-
l moved to PittsbllIg, where her husband was
: engaged in mercantile business. Ihithel
