Don't All Speak at Once.

Mondays mail brought the fol-
lowing pathetic appeal:
'PITTSBURG, PA, May 3, 1902.
DEAR Mr.. PECK,
''Help this fellow out If you
can. care there no women left
in Fulton county?
"Yours." "
Enclosed with the above note,
was a clipping from last Fridays
Pittsburg Dispatch, which reads
-'Frank Hansen, who operates
a skiff ferry on the Ohio at the
foot of Mcclure street, Allegheny,
just below the Western Peniten-
tiary, found a bottle floating with
the current yesterday. 1t con-
tanned a note written with an in
delible pencil, which read:
MIR. w. B. Mellott, of Need
more, Fulton county, Pa, wants
a wife. Rite soon.
Knowing few marriageable fe-
males Hansen is in a quandary as
to whom to give the note"
A friend in the eastern part
of the State had seen the same
days Dispatch, and his eye fall
ing on this item, his heart was
touched, and he clipped it out and
sent it to us-it reaching this Of
flee by the same mail as that from
Pittsburg.
We have read the Fulton County
Directory through from cover to
cover and failed to find any W. B.
Mellott at Needmore. Hence we
conclude that he is Pittsburger
who saw the write-up "Traveling
Observer" gave Needmore in the
News last week, and decided if he
could get wife, that he would
buy a corner lot and locate in that
town.
