Tim CAt.CU LATINO HACUEI.OI! AKI1 nil:
WILY WIDOW.
Hiram Appleton was fond of inonnjvmd,
as he lived In the most economical manner,
nad managed lo accnuiulato n considerable
sum of It. As nn instance, of his economy,
ho had worn tlia samo blue coat with brass
buttons for ten years, to chtncli and to
muster, and there was considerable proba
bility of Its having to servo for as much
longer. Hiram was a bachelor. Ilo con
sidered a wife an expensive luxury, from
which ho abstained from economical mo
tives. In the course of time, however, Hiram
camo to take a different view of tho mat
ter. He read somewhere that It was a say
ing to be married, as tho work that, a wife
would do would more than pay the expens
es of her board and clothing. On reflec
tion, Hiram considered that, nndcr his cir
cumstances, this was a consideration of
somo Importance.
"Besides." thouRht he, "wo might take
boarders, and taking hoarders Is profitable
f jou don't keep 'em too well. I've heard
that Aunt Jane Doolittla made a thousand
dollars clear In one year from keeninc
ooar.lers. 'And all the labor comes on the
wlmmen folks, too. 1 guess I must be
married."
Mr. Apiileton decided, on the whole.ito
marry a widow.
Wo ijiye his reasons in his own words:
"It stands to reason," ho soliloquized,
'that a widow must havo more experience
bout household matters than ono who
lasn't been raarrlod. Now, one that Isn't
experienced Is very apt to waste thlngj.and
it takes n Rood deal of time to teach 'em
better. Now a widow's already broken In
to the wajs of a household. 1 must bo on
iho lookout for a widow."
Mr. Hiram Appleton,' according!), began
to look about him.
Just at this time there came into town a
certain Widow Jones, on a visit to a rela
tion. As Mr. Appleton was well acquainted at
the house vvhero sjio was visiting, ho soon
found it In his way to "call round."
The widow was sitting in tho "keeping-
room" with Mrs. Felton, her relation.
'Mr. Appleton," said the latter, "let me
Introduce to vou my cousin, Mrs. Jones."
Hiram bowed.
"I wonder whether she's a widow," he
thought to himself.
When Mrs. Felton accompanied him to
the door, he ventured to mako the inquiry.
"es," said Mrs. Felton, "her husband
died two years since."
You soo, Mis. Fcltan," said lliraru in
a bnslnosa-llke tone, "I've been thinking
of getting married. I think, on the whole,
It would ho good policy. I gntss I should
prefer a smart, industrious, economical
widow, if I could hear of ono anywhere."
Then," said Mrs. Felton, "I am quite
sure that my cousin would suit v ou. She's
as Industrious a crcetur as you ever saw.
Always has work In her" hand."
There's one thing I want to know
about," said Hiram, auxiousl , "Is sho
fond of dress? I don't know much about
it, hut I've heard that somo wimmcn spend
a sight on tbelr dress. Now, I can't stand
ihat anyhow, I calc'late that my wife If
f ever have any shall dress decent; hut as
to silk dresses, and gold chain, and such,
they won't coma out of me."
Mrs. Felton assured her Inquirer that no
one could ho inoro simple In her tastes
than her cousin an nssuranco that grati
fied Mr. Appleton exceedingly.
Yoit need not tell her what I've been
saying," said Hiram. "I'll come lu again
two or three timos, and sec how I Hko her
ways, and, If I do, I II propose pretty
quick."
'You'd better," said Mrs. Follon, "for
thero's no knowing how Boon somebody
else may pick her up."
Instead of regarding ulram's Injunction,
Mn. Felton straightway communicated
the substance of tho conference to tlie
widow.
Now It so happened, for reasons which
will appear, that thn widow was by no
means luJUposed to a second marriage,
and, on hearing that Hiram was a man of
property, she concluded to "set her cap for
him."
"You mint appear to bo very Industrious
and economical," said Mrs. Felton. "He
laid particular stress on that."
t'Don't fear forme,'' said her cousin.
"It takes a widow to manage tba men."
When Hiram made his second call the
widow Jones was arrayed In a very plain
calico, which, at tlie utmost, could not
hive cost more than nine-pence per yard. I
"You must excuse the plainness of my
dress, Mr. Apple-ton," iM she, "but
don't approve of rich' dresses. A calico is
Just as warm as a silk - or, at any rat,thre
1888.
i Isn't inucli illlTe'rfnce, and there Is a imt
ileal of difference. In the prie-.''
Hlratn was delighted.
'Yon'ro a eonslhlo woman, .Vrs. .limes,''
said lie. "You've -got a soul abovo tho
' msjotlty of ,vnur sex."
"Thnnlc yon, Sir. Applet or," said the
t widow, demurely, "t don't tnhe no credit
to myte.lf for It. it's natural !o me. !!
makes mo sick to see hnw fond most wo
men are of flummery, and putting all they
can eiirn on their back."
'"That's a fact," said Hiram. "That's
Just tho cITecl It has on m. N'mv, Mrs.
Jones," this h- said In a rontl.lontls.1 tone,
"how loutt do yon think I have ui.ide this
coat do for bests'" '
Mrs. Jones could not possibly-tell.
"It's lasted ten years,'.' said Irani, with
becoming pride. "Ton years, nnd It's a
Rood coat jot."
"So it Is." said tho vvlduw, "and I com
mend your prudeuco. Mr. Applcton, how
long do you think It Is since 1 bought this
dress?"
Hiram ventured to guess 'five 'JJ.'
"You're wrong,'' said the widow, shak
ing her Head, "I had It just twelve yrare,
come spring."
Mrs. Jones did not think it necessary to
mention that, although It had breu boueht
at that limn, It had been cist aside some
ten years since, and had only txv-u resusci
tated for the sako of producing an impics
sion on Ilir.niu
'Twelve years!" nxclainu-d Hiram, In a
glow of admiration. "You are a perfect,
treasure, Mrs. Jones."
"X.a, now, you don't mean it," said the
widow, bashfully.
'Yes. I do, and ydu aro the woman I'yo
been seeking for years for a vv ifo. So love
ly and'so economical! Hear widow Jones,
may I hope that you will favor me with
your hand that you wjll become Ars.
Appletou?'
L his is so unexpected,' murmured the
widow, 'and yet I fuel that a man of your
just sentiments and prudent habits is not
to be slighted. I will accept your offer in
the samo spirit in which It is made.'
'Thcro Is ono other thiiu;,,' said Hiram,
after a short pause, 'that 1 should like to
mention. I am a straightforward man and
I watit everything to bo understood. Would
you have any objection to taking a fnw
boarders after we arc married?'
Not the slightest,' said tho widow. 'In
deed, I Intended to mention something of
tho sort to yon.'
'Did yon though, really?' Inquired Hiram,
with delight.
Yes. The fact Is, Mr. Appleton, I am
coal Is by temperament, and it Is rather
acrecablo than otherwise lo have a large
family about me.'
Hiram began to think that tlie widow
was an admirable woman, and that he
could not have mado a better match If he
had sought the world over.
In tho coursoof time,' i-aid he to him
self. 'I shouldn't wonder if it oroved
thousands of dollars In my pocket. If I
could only have met with such a woman
twenty years ago. However, better late
than never.'
Preparations were hastened for the wed
ding. Hiram feared that something would
turn up to prevent the marriage, on which
he had set his heart As for the widow,
sho had no serious objections. Ard', ac
cordingly, ono morning they rode over to
the minister's and were united without any
lisplay. Hiram wore the same bluo coat
with brass buttons which had served lilru
so long and faithfully.
It looks well enough,' lie said, 'and
there Isn't any uso of colng to any foolish
expense.
The widow wasdressed in n plain delaine,
with no ornaments.
How much shall I give you?' asked
Hiram of the clergyman who had united
them.
Whatever you please,' said tho clergy
man, politely.
'How much does tho law allow,' persisted
Hiram.
'One dollar and a quarter.'
'Then,' said Hiram, 'here's a 'two,' and
you can give mn back seventy-five cents in
change.'
Tho clergyman made change with as
sober a face as he could and the happy pair
departed for home.
The next day Hiram broached the sub
ject of boarders.
'Thcro ain't any use In delaying the mat
ter as I know of,' said he. 'Wo might as
woll begin first as last. Suppose wo ad
vertise.' r'There isn't any need of that,' said the
new Mrs. Appleton. 'I kuow of some
friends in the place where I used to live
who would bo glad to come and board with
us.'
'Do you?' askud Hiram, with eagerness.
'That's a good Idea. It will save the ex
pense of advortlslng.'
'Yes,' said Mrs. Appleton. 'That is very
true. However, It will bo necessary to go
and see iliein, and that will cost some
thing.'
How much?'
'A dollar and thirty-seven cents each
way,' leiurned his wife.
- 'That will make $2.73, said Hiram. 'I'll
give yiRl three. Tho oxtra quarter will dB
for miscellaneous expenses.'
This was an unexampled stroke of geu
erosityon the part of Mr. Appleton; but
the tUoucht of the profits which ho was
going to mako made him feel unusually
generou.
'How Ions will you bn cone?' asked
Hiram.
'That will depend a little on circum
stances. I think I can bo back by the end
of the week.'
'And vou feci pretty ur of bringing
back some boarders?'
'I think 1 can prorale vou six at least,'
said his wife, confidently.
'Six!' returned Hiram with satisfaction.
'Six, at threo .dollars a week, will mako
elzhtceu dollars. Then the actual cast of
boarding them need not be more than a
dollar apiece. That will make twelve dol
lara clear weekly, or lx hundred dollars a
year.'
This was a rcrv gratifying calculation,
and Hiram awaited Ills wife's return with
eagerness.
On Saturday night the stage stopped at
the door. It appeared to be unuiuallv
full.
Mrs. Appleton cot out first. Then sue.
eesilvely alighted three boys and three
girls, varyla lu age from fifteen to fivt.
