THE DISPERSAL OF ANIMALS.
How Chance Agencies Convey stray

The manner in which animals may

A WOMAN WHO ADVERTISED.

Mrs. Hopper, of o radell, N. Y, is,
according to New York paper, DEM
onstrating effectively the value of ad-
vertising, when one possesses some
thing that goodly r.umber of people
want. In this case, Mrs. Hopper, q
buxom and well-to-+1o widow, had q
heart and hand to di spose of that since
her husbands del ,arture was free
from mortgage. Some time ago she
inserted two lines i'll personal col
umn to the effect th at she would like
to receive a proposa al from proper
party to enjoy with her the blessings
and pleasures of matrimony, and to
suitable mate would make marriage
easy for the man by providing ample
support for both.
Since that time the business of the
postoffice at Oradelr has increased be
yond all precedent, Where formerly
few thin letters and an occasiona
postal card filtered into the office, the
mail is now delivered in dozens OF
sacks, and it is all for Mrs. Hopper.
She has received offers of marriage
from all sections of the country and
from all sorts and conditions of men
She is being wooed by mail by men
enough to furnish husbands for all
the minated spinsters of New Eng
land, and she has q larger eligible list
to select from than any other woman
of her time.
The success of Mrs. Hopper's pro
ject must be problematical, however.
1t is true she has been brought into
touch with more mt en- than she could
meet ordinarily in lifetime, but this
is but the beginning of her task. From
the men who have offered themselve:
she must select one, and only one,
and much depends upon her selection.
Should Mrs. Hopper succeed in Sc
curing one really good husband ou
of the lot who have applied for the
position she will have solved great
problem. and will have illustrated
better than any previous agent the
value of the advertising columns o.
the daily newspapers.
