Two Beautiful Wives-A Gay Lothario Of
the Period ...

From the Des Moines State Leader
1t is said that the ladies of this city intend
to fully enjoy the privileges of leap year, but be
they ever so ambitious and energetic we
doubt if they can equal the rate at which one
of the male sex enjoyed his privilege in a year
that was not leap year. A short time ago a
young man came to this city from Davenport; !;
his name is immateriaL as to use it now
would tend to defeat the ends of justice. He
came, as he said, in search of work, and be-
ing good carpenter soon obtained employ
ment in the planning mill of Carver & Young,
in the outskirts of the town. He pretended
to be single man, aud being of good address
dash among the young ladies that he became
acquainted with her, and everything seemed
to be going along swimmingly. But on an
evil Friday, just three weeks ago, a strange
lady came to town and inquired for our friend
and on being directed to his clearinghouse
on Mulberry street, she went there, and meet
ing him at the door, elapsed him in her arms,
with "Oh, George, my darling husband, you
never wrote me; why did you not ask me to
comeP' George conducted her into the
house and made the best of it, by his smooth
young creature, seemed to idolise him, and
again the tenor of Georges life ran even. But
alas for the thorns that intrude in the smooth
est pathway; only two weeks had elapsed,
when, one afternoon, another lady, dashing
blonde, called at Georges boarding house.
George himself went to the door, there was a
passionate greeting, and again the words
"wife," husband" smote the ears of the
eaveseropping landlady. George ushered the
lady into the parlor and excused himself for a
moment, since which time he has not been
seen. OF the scene between the two ladies
we have no details, but like sensible women
they are firm friends, and have made common
cause against the wretch who has committed
this great crime against them both.
Where George has gone no one knows, but
there has been call made on lawyer by the
two ladies, and the divorce business will be
liv lier. There is also chest of fine carpen-
ter's tools for sale cheap at the planning MILL
Though George has gone, we look to behold
his face again, ere long, as the police are on
his track and his race will be short.

How to Increase Wealth.
A BIT OF CHICAGO HUMoR.


The Chicago Times is responsible for the
following disquisition:
Mr.. Smith, of Ogle county, who is philos-
opher as well as statesman, tells the public
that ga promissory note for horse enriches
a State as much as a horse" Mr.. Smith has,
further, discovered that ''promissory notes
are constantly and silently enriching the
owners thereof, and are as tangible and as
much property as a section of land"
The advantages of Mr.. Smiths discovery
will be obvious to people who have been
wishing that somebody would find a way by
which they can increase their wealth indefi-
nitely, without any more laborious effort than
is involved in the process of arithmetical null
tiplication. Mr.. Smith has discovered the
long-desired method of getting rich without
work. 1t consists simply in multiplying
wealth by issuing promissory notes, after the
manner of the now nearly extinct race OF
wildcat and stumptail bankers.
Mr.. Smith and his friend, MIR. Cunning
ham (who certifes to the excellence of Mr..
Smiths discovery own, each OF them, a
horse. In other respects they are as poor as
Job. Each of them, by the use of his horse,
is able to earn living, and no more. But
each of them desires very much to be a rich
man, and the owner of two horses. Mr..
Smith has just made his wonderful discovery
that promissory note is capital, and that the
easiest way to increase capital is to make
promissory notes, He goes to his friend Mr.
Cunningham and explains his discovery
which MIR. Cunningham admires very much
Now" says Mr.. Smith, ''give me your horse
and will give you my promissory note for it:
value. You will be as rich as you are now,
and L, having two horses instead of one, will
be twice as rich as l am now. Between us,
you'see, we shall have added one-third to the
ham and Mr.. Smith strike bargain
and then Mr. Cunningham, who wants
to grow rich as fast as Mr.. Smith
proposes a bargain. "Give me YOU
two horses" says Mr.. Cunningham, "and
will give you my promissory note for thei
value. You will be as rich as you are now
because you win have capital (promissor,
notes, you know, are capital,) of the value o
two horses, while shall have two horses an,
note of the value Of third horse; therefore
