ard office. whose names and addresses
will be forwarded to her by w. A Hob
litzell. manager of the matrimonial de-
partment of the postotlice. at whose re-
guest the Standard announced that
Alleen Sale wanted rich young hus-
band from Montana. The remarkable
number Of responses to Alleen's request
has been a surprise, even to those who
are acquainted with the value of the
standard as an advertising medium
Men from all parts of the state have
applied for particulars regarding the
conditions Of the race. They have sent
their applications by telegraph, by mail
and by messenger and they have regis
tered in person and by proxy 1t has
been warm scramble. Local BARRIERS
report largely increased business in
hair dyes: the conditions of youth i'm
posed by Alleen having placed several
sraybeards on the anxious seat. Griz-
zled Veterans of long western eXper-
fence have blossomed out with black
mustaches. or else have had their
faces shaved clean to remove the
tell tale gray hairs. Youths have
spruced up until their friends have
hardly been able to recognize them and
even if Alleen fails to secure her de-
sired husband. she will have accom-
appearance of the male population of
this city.
Accompanying the list of names
which will be sent to Miss Sale will be
a brief prospectus of the present con-
dition of each of the applicants and the
outlook for each The Standard is in
no way responsible for the statements
contained in these. They are prepared
by the applicants themselves and they
alone must stand good for them. When
they are read. the natural opinion of a
stranger would be that there is an
army of youthful millionaires in Mis-
soula The race for Alleen's favor has
re1uvenated old men and has added
dignity to frivolous youths. Ever since
the morning that the first announce
ment of Alleen's desire was made in
the Standard, this work of transforma-
ton has been in progress and the re-
suits are little short Of marvellous. Nor
has the good work done by Miss Sale
been confined to the University city.
From Seattle and from Elkh0rn have
come earnest pleas for the favor of the
fair Tennessee maiden. Most of the
intermediate points have furnished
candidates and all are eager to have
their claims preferred. Each has been
listed III order of its receipt and each
applicant must take his chance in the
| race.

present a full and complete list, of the

young woman of Indian Mound. but a
