I USED TO BIT AND BOLD THAT WIDDFR3HAND IH TUB MOONLIGHT

for the lost six months For whyBecause Jim was courting a widderwoman-

I am living with my fourth wife as-

I told you the other night and not oneof them was a widder woman when 1

married her but Ive had some littleexperience with wldders jest the same

e A widder woman IB a wife whosehusband has died and left her free toplay the devil with men for ten milesaround

She haint sure whether she wants-to marry agin or not but she is surethat she wants to make a fool ofabout twenty men before she does it

A widder woman is like a spiderin a web She is waiting for victims-to come along V

Shes a steel trap set on a sheeptrail You are slouching along and

I thinking of nothing in particular whenyou suddenly put your foot in it andthere you are

I A widder woman may not havesmiled at her husband for a year pre-

vious¬

to his death but four weeks aft¬

erward shes tittering and gigglingwith a tin peddler-

She way have fallen down in a

faint when they buried her husbandbut the next sewing machine man thatcame along found her singing-

Yes in my courting around I court-ed

¬

widder women as well as the other i

kind I thought it might be jest aswell to find a widder with a farmand plenty of live stock as to take awoman with nothing but what shestood in I found that widder Therewas a hundred acres of laud a goodhouse and burn and the horses cattle

I

sheep and hogs made ray mouth wa ¬

ter1 didnt let on that Id come court-

ing¬

I was in the tombstone businessthen and 1 told her Id called to seeabout a stone for her luisband I de-

scribed¬

the one Id put up for my wifeand when we got to telling each otherhow lonesome we was we both agreedwed never marry agin

I Thats where we both lied andknew we were lying

She Shed TearsThe widder shed tears as she talk-

ed¬

s of the many virtues of the late de-

parted¬

and of course I told her thatwhat was her loss was his gain Thatsalways a good thing to ring hi Shesnit that if ever I came that wayagin shed be happy to have me calland down in her heart she knew thatId be back in about three days I wasI made the excuse that I wanted tobuy a cow and she pretended to be

i awfully surprised to see me hut both

I

of us were lying agiuThat widder woman drawed me on

in fifty different ways but mostly bytears when she spoke of the departedI never saw tears in her eyes that I

didnt want to put my arm wound herwaist and wipe them away She saidthat wan was an oak tree and womenonly a wilier and that it was naturalfor the wilier to want to Jean aginthe oak She pitied me in my Jonelinew and I pitied her and at last itat s tbftt I dared to iwat a skceter

I

<1 l rat

that had settled on the back of herneck Say now 1 jest as much calkerla ted to marry that hIder as I do toget a quart of molasses In this jugafter thi mail is distributed After 1

had courted her for six wcoks 1 hadno tore doubt of her saying yes thanI lucre that Hiram Baker over thereought to IK ashamed of the old hathes wearing-

One day 1 decided to sot Mo thingsI drove over and she had the samesmile for mo until 1 begun to talk busi-

ness¬

Thou she said she irircssel Idmule a mistake In the house and hlnttHi that Id lu t tel drive OU for a mileand a half

What dye spose she had donewhile appearing to bo as innocent andchildish as a spring chicken Jot afeller torlook up my property andfound I was under mortgage and shelet go as if I had been a hot taterYes she diJ and all the time the wastelling me that If she ever did marryagin she didnt care how poor thewan was if he only had a many heartin his manly bosom meaning me IfId been courting long Duff to be headover heels in love Id have come home-to hang 1l1 sir in the barn

A widder woman dont hit fair fromthe shoulder

You dont know when to believe herand when not to

When you think youve got her she >

somewhere else When you begin toflatter yourself that youve tat all theother fellers on the run sites working-her cards to ring in n new hunch

One experience with a widder wom ¬

an wasnt nuff for me Its jest likewhen you git bio wed up with powderYou know youve been blowed but yetyou hanker to go hack to the spot andlook around for the fragments I wasbuying hay that summer and I called-on the widder to see if shed sell molive tons

She wasnt five minutes finding outthat I was a wjdower

As she knew that Id quit thetombstone business and she would besafe she begun to talk about her deadand gone Moses lie had spilt her lifeHe was dead and she didnt want tofalk ugln him but she bad to say thathe was a pesky mean man When shemarried agin she hoped to marry herequal and a man who loved her forherself alone and all that kind of non-sense

¬

Left House FlustratedI went away from that house BO

flustrated that 1 forgot all about thehay Id have bet steers to calves thatthe widder was gone on me at firstsight Of course I went back aginHad to see about the hay No hay forsale but we sat down onthe shadyveranda and talked and when we gotthrough talking I was asked to callagin

lilt haint no use in denying that 1

thought i had struck a good thingThere was a good farm and a nicewidder woman that could do a Mondaywashing and ironing and be ready tobake bread on Tuesday I used to sitand hold that widders hand in themoonlight and hear the whippoorwillssing and feel jest as ifl could mullaway like butter In Julys She keptdrawing me on and I should havepopped the question within two monthsif jhe hadnt stopped me at the criticalmoment She seemed to read mythoughts and shed bring me up shortbefore I could get the words out

Then as In the other case I wentover one day to lay my manly hoartat her foot She caught me up before-I could lay it by shedding tears andtelling me that she must rare a hun ¬

dred dollars or be sued My Mariarhe sued Never Never on this earthI humped for town and borrowed themoney on my note and carried it toher and I was to call next day when

when I didnt I had newer seenman spooking around there but I

learned that she had live of us on thestring and that she had borrowed thesame amount from each without se-

curity¬

Cant talk about security to awoman whos going to marry you youknow Yes sir made fools of thewhole live of us and that money paidfor her bridal tour with a wire fenceman to whom she had been engaged-for two years Inst got through payIng the last of my hundred dollar notethe other day

I My rase Is JIm Hopewells caseGot In love with a widder woman andgot the throwdowu and took It toheart Hell live to get over It jestas I have and though he may neverbe purty agiu hell know more Hellcome to realize that its a heap saferto court five old maids than one wid ¬

der and now Ill get my mail andMasses and go home M QUAD
