Portland Woman Wants Him
and Also Bay Mare With
White Stripe on Face.
HER NAME IS BIRD
AND SHE is BRANDED
Missing Roberts Brands and
EarmarkS Not Given by
His Deserted Wife.

Elsewhere in this issue, in order to
give a young lady Of Camden, New
Jersey, a chance to get up correspon.
dence with some one or more OF the
brave and desirable "nice" young
men Of the state, and to give the latter
chance to rush into correspondence,
matrimony or whatever might be the
result, we print touching little letter
written the governor inquiring as to
the state Of the market in the way Of
" nice" young men out this way. Last
night the governor received another
epistle, which shows the child-like faith
the Indies, God bless 'em, have in the
ability Of the governor to do any STINT
required of him from pardoning
prisoner to quelling saloon or locating
a stray dog.
In this case 1t is lady, who had
already assimilated one of those nice
young Oregon men, We know he is
nice, for the lady says SO, and at the
same time admits she is married to him,
which should make the statement indis.
putable evidence Of the fact, and es-
tablish his goodness beyond all cavil.
They May Return.
In the laudable desire to unite two
severed hearts and at the same time
return the bay mare to the family barn,
wherc her condition SO urgently sug-
gests she should be, the governor hand.
cd the lady's lettor to the press, and
we give it publicity in order that il
may catch the eyes Of the wandering
boy and the bay mare with a white
strip down her face, and reunite
widely severed family.
There are several clues that the EN-.
bryo sleuth should be able to follow
up and locate the missing ones, The
mares name is Bird, and she is six
years old. Her appearance indicates
that she will soon have to take out a
state license to run dairy to supply
an individual horse restaurant. That
is, we suppose, she will have to take
out u license for there is nothing ex-
empt from this formula, but the bal.
ance Of the statement is straight goods
He Is Kind and Good.
Besides having a white stripe down
her face she had a white foot on the
port side aft, and Robert, chad a lively
turn Of mind and was so kind aud
good,
However, in our deep feeling over
the family distribution we forgot to
present what the lady has to say, aud
here IL is;
