A Leap Year List of Young Men
Which Will Be of Great Inter-
est to Mexico Girls.

on the excellent qualities of each.
They are all handsome and bright,
but as nature wills, each one has his
own sweet popularity which gives
him a certain individuality that none
of the others possess.
John Arnold is a rising young bank
er, as handsome as Apollo, and his
quiet disposition and exemplary habits
would certainly make him a splen-
did husband.
George Pearson, who began to re-
ceive applications three months age,
has not yet been taken and, as all the
girls know, George is as full of fun as
an orange is of juice. George has a
good position and would be an "out-
of sight, husband. He will certainly
be caught before the end of the year.
John Orear is a. rising legal light
and, though it is rumored that he has
had his heart wounded lately, yet he
is in the ring and would make a great
catch.
Ned Rodes is a well-to-do young
physician and would make a splendid
husband for some bright, pretty girl:
and as Mexico has plenty of such he
will hardly get through the year.
Rozier Hall is a young business man
who is fast getting rich, so M says,
which, combined with his personal
charms and his owning a millinery
store, will certainly make him a pop
ular target during the year
Butler Guthrie has a handsome in
come and a winning ways, and al
though he seems a little inclined to
single blessedness, yet there is no
telling what the right kind of a girl
might do in a year.
Charles r. Macfarlane is little, but
oh, my! The girls all smile at "Roy"
and there's no telling what a smile,
kept up, may amount to. The end of
'96 may find him a faithful and loving
husband.
Wat Woodbridge is still with us.
His heart is a trifie lacerated, but is
yet intact. His drug business is -four
ishing and though first ideals are last
ing ones, some Mexico girl might try.
Greedy Talbot is hardly considered
in the market any longer. He seems
to be taken, but we might be mistaken.
Elon bearing has a good business
and is possessed of many personal
charms. Sly rumor says that he didn't
have to wait until leap year, but there
is no telling and some of the girls
might try, anyway.
DIR. Frank Spence does nothing but
work with silver and gold, ONE of
which he would undoubtedly give to
the lucky girl. This is a regular snap.
Paul Shouse is said to be badly
tangled up in the golden chains of
love, but if the girl would take him
to all the plays and send him a box of
cigars every week she might come
out victorious.
Charles Criswell is a promising
young man and takes to pharmacy like
a duck to water. Charles heart is
as yet whole, they say, and the right
party could win him easily.
DIR. Dale has a bewitching air, a fine
voice and a good position. He would
adorn any family circle and should be
snatched up in a hurry.
Charley Graham is a first-class cleo
trician and the lucky girl will get a
jewel when she gets him. If he gets
through this leap year another will
surely find him in the fold.
VIII Wilkins has a splendid posi-
ton and a snug salary. His mustache
is fascinating and his charms are
many. He's a "gay'' fellow and
would make a model husband. Then,
girls, just think of the shoes you could
have! This is a soft snap and if you
don't hurry up he will be gone. (Later
reports say that Will is gomez
s. VI. Locke has long enjoyed single
blessedness. He is reputed a cor
firmed bachelor, but more aggravated
cases than his have been cured by
FEMININE tact.
Howard Buckley is a plum that
hangs high, but by a good jump some
girl might catch him. and, oh! how
lucky she would be!
Ed. Lawder has plenty of the stuff
and ia an all-'round good fellow. His
blushing mustache is r great attrac-
ton and he will hardly escape this
year.
DR.. Ramsay is a great catch. His
wit is unequaled and he is lawfully
handsome" If 1897 does not find
him a married man it will be a strange
fact.
Rodes Clay is fresh from Princeton
and it would be hard to find a more
model husband than he would make.
His blonde hair is rapturous and it is
rumored that hardly a day passes
without an offer. Hurry up, girls, or
you'll be late.
Joe LuckIe is as handsome q bru-
nette as ever lived and his chances
are among the best. Good-by, Joe;
you are a goner sure.
Ernest CAN'T has a good position
and is a candidate for matrimony as
well az for reelection to the Office of
City Attorney. Try your luck on
him and you'll not be disappointed.
There ar57osfrcrr,b trtey -fnvors-
quested that their names be omitted,
for fear that the rush would be un-
pleasant. Then there is a lot of the
younger fry who are just "too cute,'
but they can wait until next leap year
and still be young and pr-spossessing.
Girls, read this list carefully and then
make your selection. The LEDGER
guarantees hymeneal bliss, no matter
which one you take. Boys, be on
your guard and be sur to say: "Oh,
this is SO unexpected"
