stated mat a WIZ
ow, handsome brunette, worth $3.50
600, wished to correspond with a gen
tleman of honor. Address box 5S2,

Among the many who answered was
Henry Franks of Ell Paso, Tex. A
week after he wrote he received a
blank to fill out and return with So,
registration fee, giving all the informa-
ton about himself that was possible.
With the request came a circular tell
ing him that Mrs. Hopkins, a San
Francisco widow, worth $40, 900, 900,
married Edward F. S%earles, a poor
man. Mrs. Georgia Reyes Nordholt,
a wealthy Spanish widow, with proper
ty in Los Angeles worth 500 900, mar
ried Henry Bentley, a poor German
coachman. Mrs. Rose Lally, a wealthy
San Francisco widow, worth $3.50, 600,
married Charles Ostwald, a hotel walt
er. Mrs. Mary n. Schudder, a a
Francisco widow. worth $500 600, mar
ried Myron P. Walker. an insurance
agent. Peter Olsen, a poor sailor,
married a widow in Alameda, Cal,
worth 10000. Henry Bentley's Span
ish wife died and he soon ran through
all she left him, and married again
Mrs. Honora Townsend, of West
Berkeley, Cal. worth 100000" And
twice as much more of the same glad
tidings. 1t went on:
IF you are DESTROYS of marrying a
woman with money, there are many OF
them. We have a list Of seventy-two
heiresses, compiled by a prominent
journalist. Twenty-eight of them are
reputed to be worth from one to TWEEN
ty million dollars, and forty-four from
$25, 900 to $3.50, 900. There are many
others besides them, and there are
thousands of wealthy widows in this
country that would marry. 1t is just
as legitimate and honorable and just
and fair, square and right, for a poor
man to marry a rich woman as for a
poor woman to marry a rich man.
Thousands of enterprisinE, ~persevering
men have married ladies with means
through matrimonial agencies, and in
stead of working and shaving for 9TH
ers for a bare existence are now happy

can be done again. Your chances are
as good as theirs; there are just as
many and just as wealthy ladies look
ing for suitable husbands now as ever.
Success in this world does not come
by chance; it must be sought after dill
igently. You can never know what
you are capable of until you try. WON

after rich men. Brains, good common
sense and enterprise win in many
cases where money and position have
failed. Women are alive to the fact
that men who know the value of money
and know how to appreciate it are bet
ter managers and money makers than
the sons of wealthy men and spend
thrifts, who have never earned an hon
est dollar /. their lives"
This was signed, Very respectfully,
j. w. Balm, Sec" And it was accom-
panied by a third document, which
closed like this:
In conclusion, dear reader, whether
you have business with us or not, ac-
cept our advice as a friend, and mar
ry. You do not know what it is to live
alone, uncared for, unknown, when old
age overtakes you. Solitude fills one
with horrible agony. Solitude at home
by the Preside at night, it is so pro-
found, so sad. The silence of the room
In which one dwells alone, is not alone
silence of the body, but silence about
the soul, with neither father nor moth
er, sister nor brother, wife nor children
nothing but a wasted past to look
back upon, nothing but a lonely, pain
full deathbed, and an unwept and un-
honored grave in the future. When
one Is old it is well to have a loving
companion, and to have children.
Women are romantic. Many a good
man in his W neighborhood Is over
looked or discarded for an enterprlsing
