"Helen Try" who has won some
fame through the columns of the
BAzoo has again written and as will
be seen her high hopes have not yet
been realized. The following is the
letter:
DEAR BAzoo:
Two weeks ago when reviewing my
past. and specializing ON my future
possibilities" hope was at a very low
tide; the past had been fraught with
failure and disappointments, and the
present had no favorable outlook,
and 1 was well nigh into the valley of
dispair, when the idea of sending you
a letter and soliciting the aid of your
valuable paper came to me like an
Inspiration I; my hopes began to rise
and in couple Of hours got as high
as the postofice, continued reflections
on what might happen, enabled them
to rise above the BaZoo
OFFICE AND CONTENTS.
Just think Imagination now ran
riot amid houses and carriages, and
many visions of greatness that might
be received by the "strategem" to
which | resOrted until hope gszed
downward with sublime contempt
upon the steeples of Sedalia's tallest
church spires. All the while anxiety
vas not absent for fear it might find its
grave.
THE LETTER, I MEAN,
In the waste basket, or worse, still be
returned to me inscribed respectfully
declined" but when on Sunday morn
ing, with a "pitty patty" heart, |
scanned the paper to find Its fate,
10 and behold, with another bound
upward, my hopes went higher than
the highest point above the dome of
the court house, as / read my humble
petition in full, preceded by kind and |
graceful words of comment by eye
editor" urging my suitors to hurry |
up. So far so well. But, now, as /
came with a petition then, ! come
with a grievance now. Tuesdays
paper stated there were three letters
there for me. Wednesday evening /
called at the office and asked for
them. Only one was forthcoming,
with solemn assurance from a gem
tleman whose resemblance to George
Washington impressed me forcibly,
that there were no more, notwith-
the BAzoo's statement to
The contrary. | can scarcely describe
my feelings, but had the aforesaid
gentleman observed closely he
might have noticed that
ny movements showed much
more strongly of disappoint-
nent than "my item." The paper said
here were several communications
here for me. Now Mr.. BAzoo do
Tou fully realize the heavy response
'iliiy resting on you? You see my
IOpes nave Deen HourlSnlng Ike
'reen cherry tree and perhaps some
ne else could tell similar tale. They
nay all die a natural death or at least
e misdirected by unfaithfulness in
he ''free delivery" ofmy letters. Now
I'LL you please tell me what must do
, get them all, l braved the dam
ers and the inclemency of the wealth
r Wednesday evening and / feel
,mehow | have been unjustIy dealt
18th. L am very much in earnest In
sed about this getting husband and
Irthermore have decided that / must
ave one by spring, so you see / have
time to waste, beSide. L want
give every eligible man in Pettis
unity chance. | don't care te say
o much In praise of myself, for I
mt like to hear people quote their
IN virtues, but | can cook excel
ntly and do all kinds of sewing. Ila
low how to scold quite briskly, but q
mt do 1t unless the occasion requires. '
,an read aloud quite well, too, and e'
