Some time ago, by means OF an advertise
ment, he came into correspop dence with
a woman at a distance. The letters were
agreeable and he soon began to think he
would like to have her nearer home. or
course he would not ask her to come on
her own resources, so he sent her some
SIS to use In reaching his home. He i'm
patiently waited for either the return of
the money or the coming OF the fair one,
but finally concluded that in attempting
the marriage lottery he had been buncocd.
He gave up hoping for The best and turned
his attention to the next best. Another
correspondence was accordingly formed by
the same means and as in the former case
the epistles waxed affectionate and bust
nesslike. Money for expenses was sent,
and in the course Of time, short time,
the woman came. So did the other one,
and with her daughter, too. He is now
entertaining the aspirants for his hand
and trying to decide which one to send
home.
