Having retired. The little daughter VINO
occupied her usual place in the family
bedroom aroused from her slu1nber to
greet him and. the mothers place being
vacant, he asked, Where is mammal"
The little one rubbed her sleepy eyes
and answered, Shes gone to the ball.
Now, madam being grave matron,
not given to tripping the light fantastic
toe. the astonished sire exclaimed,
Gone to the ball! Where is it?''
The little one sensed the fact that she
had made mistake and FASTENED to
correct it with. mo. she's gone to the

that two counties combine their

Will Pay $4,000 for a Wife.
[Chicago Inter Ocean.


Twelve thousand dollars in cash
awaits any body who will provide John
Fisher. of Willsesbarre, Pa, with a
wife, the only condition being that she
must be the sort of wife that John
Fisher wants.
And he is not so very particular. Ac-
cording to the specifications he has pre-
pared:
she may be a widow.
She must be ehildless.
She must be close to 35
She should be German.
She must be able to run poultry
yard.
She must know something about
farming.
She must be kind.
On the other hand, Mr. Fisher, in
order to help those who may decide to
send him offers, is free to say that the
successful woman will get a prize, for
he admits that:
He is kind.
He is true
He is fond Of home.
He is a bachelor.
He is just ~.
-
He is handy around the house.
He has not married because he never
met the right sort of woman.
All the trouble is likely to arise over
clause in the last two lines: He
has not married because he never met
the right sort of woman" From this it
is plain that. tho a woman may be a
widow, may be childless, may be close
to 35, may be German, may know how
to run poultry yard, may know some
thing about farming, and may be kind
beyond expression, she may not be the
sort of woman John Fisher is looking
for after all.
1t is strange that at some time in the
last quarter of century he has not met
the right sort of woman, for the right
sort of woman can not be rare even in
the neighborhood of Wilkesbarre, Pa.
Perhaps the difficulty is with Je/n
Fisher and not with the women he Z.as
met. 1t sometimes happens that way.
However. he is willing to pay $4,000
cash to any body who will find for him
the right sort OF woman, and here is a
chance for any body who thinks he
man and womankind.
