There are various other letters OF similar ma
turc from anxious swains who, under some mys-
t<rious spell, rave over the charms OF this Span
ieh maiden, who will not write often and will
not fy 10 their manly breasts.
The various epistles show that in Tacoma
here is another II. C. Wilson, who is engaged in
5 the matchmaking trade, and who is wringing
Detsy coin from creduious victims by the whole
nle. His plan appears to have been to get 81
rom the matrimonial speculator aud then
write letter closing with the charms of this
real or imaginary Spanish Dulcinea He ad-
yses his clients to write to the lady, who, real
or imaginary, appears to have been his sole stock
10 trade. She writes and promises to join each
Of the applicants, but though they wait anx-
ionsly, even TREMENDOUSLY, for her advent. the
tsrk-eyed beauty from the land of the Inquisi-
ZION never materialzes. The double of Mr.. II. G.
wilson, of Seattle, is just ~ richer by his tricky
operation.
Mr.. Wilson, OF Seattle, is busy soliciting freight
ior the Northern Pacific. He las no connection
With the Acme Matrimonial Bureau, and hopes
that his Tacoma double will take care in the
future to secure the mail TO which he is entitled.
