SKETCHES FROM
 EVERY DAY LIFE


true husband. No children, and a good cook Address, etc."
 She did not have long to wait before re- ceiving several replies She answered them all, but the correspondence finally dwin- dled to one faithful admirer who lived somewhere in Ohio. Photographs were ex- changed. Madame Santes told about the hair and the result was an engagement.
 
 A day was set for the wedding. Madam Santos spent what little money she had saved in an elaborate rousseau The com bination of her yellow hair, purple waist and bright green hat was something won derful to behold. All this the kind and true" husband had seen in a photograph so that when he got off the train at the little town in Alabama where Madam Santos lived he was not as startled by the original as might have been expected. Still it is useless the deny that the groom was disappointed in his prospective bride, but 1t had cost him lot of money to come all the way from Ohio and he resolved tc "see it through" as he romantically ex- pressed it. So the wedding took place and the kind and true husband went to Madam Santos house to keep the wolf from the door,
 It so happened that his idea of keeping the wolf from the door was to sit in It all day long and smoke bad tobacco. Certainly if the wolf had been human he would never have entered that house with Madam Santos husband smoking in the doorway. But alas, not even bad tobacco will drive away the wolf of poverty. In fact, he growled the louder, for Madam Santos, who had been able to keep body and soul together on $9O a month, found it hard to keep two bodies and one soul on the same amount-for Madam Santos soon discov- cred that her husband had no soul.
 The discovery was made about a month after they were married. Her husband had whiled away dull hour or two by getting drunk and beating her. This was a great shock and disillusion to loves young dream, and when a month later the husband mortgaged the house, gave his wife a final beating and left for parts un- known it was with a feeling of joy and re- lief that Madam Santos gathered up the broken strings of her life and went bravely to work to pay off the mortgage and work off the black and blue spots on her body by giving extra plano lessons at reduced rates.
 Fortune favors the brave. In the course of years Madam Santos had not only paid off the mortgage but had accumulated the sum of $2OO. Only once in all these years had she had any serious trouble. Her hus- band, learning in some way that she had saved money, reappeared unexpectedly one night, demanded that she give him some money, and on her refusal had given her
The age-herald., 1900-11-18

N AT ADAM Santos wore golden hair MN and sDeetaeles. Both came out 4 ' Il of stores, and both were honest
 enough to proclaim the fact at all times-especially the hair. There prob ably never was such another golden har- vest of hair since blondine was discovered To Madam Santos, however, it was beau- tiful, and she had paid a large price for 1t out of her slender earnings.
 Madam Santos was music teacher. She did not teach the young idea how to shoot but the youthful finger how to strum. Madam Santos was a genius at keeping time. Her pupils could always be recog- nized by certain mechanical strum strum which every one knew belonged on ly to the Santos method of piano forte in- struction.
 Some people In the community were bold enough to say that Madam Santos was humbug. That she could give more bad instruction to the hour than any music teacher in the state. But there are always kickers and soreheads who do not own pianos and cannot afford to give their children music lessons; and it is needless to say that these were in the minority The majority of the community owned pianos and swore by Madam Santos instead of swearing at her and her reputation sur vived the slings and arrows of the out rageous misfortune of the minority.
 Whether Madam Santos could play or not was, after all, matter of no consequence from financial standpoint. She had a monopoly of instruction on the piano, there being no other teacher within reach ac- cess of the inhabitants. Thus she went her rounds from house to house giving les sons at 50 cents an hour, and collecting in cash the small and uncertain sum of $50 a month.
 Thirty dollars a month is not a princely fortune for a woman over fifty who in addition to other things, has to buy new glasses every year in order to read the notes on the music books So with the wolf ever scratching at the door she decided to get husband who would be able to drive him off,
 Love at fifty is more apt to be an affair of the head than of the heart, and Madam Santos realizing that at her age there was no time to be lost in signing and wooing, although it was true that hair, a woman's crowning glory, might accomplish wonders decided to come at once to the point and insert an advertisement in the matrimonial papers. It may be we'll to state that Madam Santos was widow having mar ried French musician in early youth. He had not survived 1t long, and she was left a widow, which condition she had culti- vated for many years. So having some knowledge of the masculine heart, Madam Santos inserted the following advertise ment
 .'Widow middle-aged, seeks kind and
