came disguised with single blessedness
and decided to take unto himself wife.
So he came to Phoebe and procured several
Eastern weekly papers and read over the
lists of young ladies names who We're de-
sirious of opening correspondence with
young gentlemen, with view of matri-
mony. Being young man particularly
fond of sweet things, he selected the girl
with the sweetest sounding name, and
wrote her letter. The correspondence
was carried on for some time and photos
were exchanged. The picture the young
man received was indeed beauty. In
fact the young lady, judging from the pic
ture, looked as though she was too pretty
and good for this wicked world The
match was made, and according to agree
ment, the young Pahranagater sent $500
check to his darling with which to pay
her passage to the glorious Silver State.
Time rolled on, but no lump of sweetness
came to the young Pahranagater. He
wrote, and wrote, and wrote, but not an
answer did he receive to any of his let
ters. He came into Phoebe last week,
nearly wild with grief, and swore that he
would sift the matter He went to the
bank and enquired if the check had been
returned. The check was found and was
endorsed with her ''X," and the name of
man was also on the check, certifying that
she was the rightful owner of the check.
The truth is, the Pahranagater had been
carrying on q correspondence with a
sharper in the East, and he got an ignor-
ant woman to pass herself off as the right
full owner of the check, thus succeeding
in getting it cashed. Let this be warm
to several young bucks in Phoebe.
