II you studied for a half year hard,
in some one definite line, you could
prepare yourself to take an examina-
tion in that line and would pass. How
soon you could then get an appoint
ment would depend upon many cir
cumstances, none of which you could
control. After appointment you could
earn perhaps eight hundred dollars,
possibly one thousand dollars year.
But you would have no time for your
children. There are hundreds of
widows with children in the service
here and elsewhere, but few OF them
have any such wealth" as yours.
There are several thousand villages in
America with from one to five or six
thousand population whore ten thou
sand dollars for three people is a
fortune. In one of those villages you
will discover that your husband pro-
vided for you we'll. In most of them
you would not care to live, but some
are attractive, indeed delightful. Some
of them have good schools. good
churches, good climate and beautiful
locations. You will find them In
Connecticut, in New York, In Kansas,
i'm Oregon and elsewhere. To which
one of these many towns or villages
you should go will depend somewhat
upon whether your children are boys
or girls and upon whether you have
any relatives for whose sake you must
stay in the east. You know that in
several localities of the west you can
invest your money in mortgages to
pay seven and even eight per cent,
safely. There are not few villages
and towns in which you can buy q
good house with an acre or more for
n garden at less than two thousand
dollars. You can do that in the state
capital of Oregon, the beautiful little
city OF Salem. And your house and
your income will be as good there as
the average of your neighbors.
