MR. AND MRS. ALFRED
NOYES, noted English poet,
and his wife, guests at

The perspicacity of the young
widow in Texas who wrote to Post
master Wharton to find her a hus

Since her letter and the postmas
ter's appeal were published In The
Bee last Monday fourteen . letters
have been received by Colonel Whar
ton. He is sending them on to the
widow as fret ss they come and is
sending the widow's address to the
would-be husbands. The widow is
25 years old, five feet seven Inches
tall and weighs 139 pounds.
Two of tb suitors enclosed photo
graphs and five were thoughtful
enough to enclose stamps.
One waxed quite poetic. He writes:

Joy or sorrow gladness or sadness an end comes. Perhaps this is, well Without it there would be no progress. With it comes always the
hope that goes with anticipation. Year after year we and other merchants buy liberally for autumn and winter trade, because we remember, per
hapsthat we had a heavy snow storm on McKinley day in October, or we recollect that winter always used to set in for keeps about Thanksgiving
time, and so year after year we buy and buy so as to be ready when winter comes. Now most years we don't get any winter till after the first of
January AND THAT'S TRUE OP THIS SEASON.
RESULT: The buying public is wise to the situation and purchases are deferred until after the first of the year when ONE-HALF PRICE IS
THE RULE. WE HAVE HAD THE BIGGEST SALE EVER. . We started with a huge stock, but at last it is petering out.
