the champion advertiser. Recently
the following advertisement appeared

piece was to be produced: Young
lady, orphan. with $4,000 at her dis
posal and proprietress of one of the
most important retail businesses in
Prussia, wishes to meet a young man
capable of managing her business,
with view to matrimony. No spe-
c1al business training necessary, nor
need he be possessed of means
Write NJ. w. b., guardian. No
agents" On the morning of the rep
resentation each of those who replied
to the advertisement received a
beautifully Autographed note stating
that as it was important to ascertain
whether the lady was likely to please
the applicant as to good looks, etc.
she would be with her guardian at a
certain theater in box number so and
SO, on the following Monday evening.
The theater was crowded with young
men and during the play the lorg
nettes were all turned on one particu-
lar box, but it was empty, the only
vacant place in the theater.
