mother and father despise him.
Noticing this coldness. Uncle Bim
leaves their home and is taken in by
a woman who owns a house near by.
She is a widow and Bim learns to
love her and she agrees to marry
hint.
On the night of their wedding
feast at which Chester alone (Mr.
and Mrs. Gump refuse)' is present,
I'ncle Bim receives a letter from
Australia that the telegram received
was a serious mistake by someone in
Australia and that his great fortune
is still his.
I'ncle Bim wills half of his fortune
to his wife and the other half to
Chester, but let Bim'be ery happy
with hi wife who in very beautiful
and love bim for himself and pot
hit money.
SECOND PRIZE.
(Tb tllilrlit Klr4 !.)
If you have any pity for poor I'n
cle Bim, don't let him marry that
painted vamp.
She only wants his money and he
won't get any happiness out of the
deal.
She will just break his heart.
Can't you arrange to have a beau
tiful, good, old maid relation of
Min's, who will love him and not his
money, come and visit Min?
Uncle Bim can fall in love with
her.
I am sure the Widow Zander
would be just as happy if she mar
tied Carlos.
P. S. I need a bird cage.
I couldn't use the hay because our
bald-headed Dicky bird doesn't rat
hay.
'e have our Dicky bird lariated
out to the table leg.
We might use the mouse trap in
tae our cat die.
We could ue the hay to fill a
mattress, but the bird cage would be
more acceptable.
THIRD PRIZE.
(The Mmjfmtl Nxm Trap.)
Of all the cartoons,- the Gump
are "there." My husband and I are
very much interested in the love af
fairs of Uncle Biniby.
Now, it matters not to us if he
marries "Heaven Eyes" or not. for
the rest of your reader will have to
admit that the Widow Zander ts a
handsome (?), lovable (?) little
creature (?).
But we would like to see Min and
Andy pull hi leg for all they can
squeeze out of him before the widow
walks down the aisle with him to
the tune of "Blessed Be the Tie
That Binds."
Where i Mrs. Zander's husband?
Did she talk him to death, or did he
"go while the going was good?"
Please don't send me all three of
those handsome prizes. This way
out.
