DID not tempt Jennie to confess, so Has
sen declared the marriage off and went
out and forbade the bans. He got the
dress back, but the 81 had gone the way
of all dollars, so Hassen packed his
wheelbarrow, strolled over to st. Louis
and advertised for another wife. Out of
Ifty-two st. Louis applicants Hassen
found one feebly Intelligent woman-a
widow with one child.

Subdued Hassen in six days, at the end
OF which time he proposed and was ac-
cepted. He bought an SIS ring
and the license, but at the last moment
the lady backed out
She had influential friends that got in
and queered me" said Hassen sadly.
Hassen pleaded with the lady, and
even offered to take the child along as a
STOCK family, but the widow was obdu-

great Hocks of females, but as he is well

love. He did not propose.
MONEY NO OBJECT.
While sojourning at Colorado City,
Texas, paper published there offered a
bonus of 81 900 to any girl who would

by those ladies who come out and sing
mother songs while protruding stimuli
taneously from both ends OF their ap-
parel. One of these women proposed to
marry Hassen whether he wanted to or
not and he had to invoke the aid of the
law to escape.
Hassen was compelled to have the lady
locked up in jail while he got start of
two days due west from Ell Paso.
At Los Angeles he was waited upon by
ten ham actresses, as he calls them, in
turn who evinced willingness to share
his wheelbarrow, but he did not care to
change his mode of life with the induce
ments offered.
