4 Chicago Mans Matrimonial venture
with q Pretty widow.

A Chicago Mans Matrimonial vonturo
with Pretty widow.
II live to be a thousand years old /
shall never forget how q stranger took
five Of us in one day at Syracuse in a
manner 20 slick that he walked off with
our cash before we had a suspicion. II
was q rainy, dismal afternoon, and 4
dozen men-agents, drummers, drovers,
and others-were sitting about the office
Some one read a newspaper clipping
about bigamlst who had seven wives,
and pretty soon each one had an opinion
to advance. Finally a well dressed, good
looking man ventured the observation:
"I myself could have married dozen
women on an hours notice. It's all in
the FIRST impression created"
Some agreed and some differed, and
the discussion began to assume more
vigorous tone. By and by the same man
again observed;
"You may think me conceited, gentle
men, but I'm only telling you what 1
know / can do. I've always had extraor-
dinary luck with women. I'll venture
to say that can go down to the depot,
pick out the best looking woman In the
waiting room, and, II she is not already
married that can take her to the par
son'S inside Of an hour"
There was a grand laugh at this, but
he looked very serious as he continued
Perhaps this crowd has some cash 10
lose on that2 II so, let's talk business"
After q bit we came to an understand
ing. Five Of us were to chip In 9100
each against $500 Of his money. We
were TO 60 to the New York Central de-
pot, select female, and II she prove to
be unmarried, he was to persuade her
into marriage inside Of an hour, or for
felt his money. We could have raised
thousand dollars as well rs half that
sum, but he could not cover it,
Nine Of us went down to the depot.
Among the waiting passengers were sew
enteen females, but on looking them
over our choice was limited to three.
We finally selected woman we believed
to be a widow. She was fairly hand
some, well dressed, and had two or three
parcels on the seat beside her. We got
seats near by, and then our masher ap-
preached. He asked what train she
was going out on, spoke about the
weather, and, TO our surprise, was not
rebuhed. Within ten minutes he asked
II she was a widow, and she had scarce
iy answered in the affirmative when he
began to plead his case. It was only
forty minutes by the watch when he
came over to us and said;
Gentlemen, I'd like two or three Of
you to accompany that lady and myself
10 the parsons as witnesses to our mar
Eiage."
We went, and they were duly married
and the stakes passed over. The lady
acted7a a. coy and shy and embarrassed as
you please, and confessed that it was n
case of love at first sight. They took =
train two hours later, and when they
were fairly off we learned that he was q
horseman from Chicago, and that the
woman had been his lawful wife for the
past fiftoen years. New York Sun.
