"HOSA" IS A BLAOKSMITH.
A Smart Scauip Who Pooled Mr. Olark
scn of Oastle Sock.
For some timo, Albert G. Henry, a
slender, thin-faced jouth, stood before
the smithy fire in Nebraska City, Ne
bwska, tnd made the sparks fly in
true, old-tiine fashion. But hi3
heart ""as not in his -work;
his thoughts -were ever elsewhere
as he deftly beat the white-hot i
iron into shape. The truth of the
matter was, Albert was awfully, aw
fully hard up. and upon the one sub
ject" of how to raise successfully the
needed cash without any great amount
of physical labor weio all his thoughts
intent.
A few mouths ago the following ad
vertisement appeared in a Chicago pa
per:
"G025 Nebraska: I am an orphan,
twenty-five years"tf age, good-looking,
practical housekeeper, neat in form,
&c. "Won't some honest gentleman in
need of an affectionate wife, whose age
is between twenty-five and forty-five,
Tnlrmfvir tr lifdn mi Tnalrfi a livinrr?
Those in earnest need only to reply if
they inclose a stamp."
Just about this time the postmaster
at Nebraska City noticed a perceptible
increase in his mail and the addition
al letters were all addressed to '"Nora"
Henry. One day, Blacksmith Henry
strolled up to the postoffice and said
he would take all the mail addressed
to "Nora,'" of whoso existence the
postmaster had previously been ig
norant. The next evening the black
smith was closeted in his room, and
before he retired he walked to the
postoffice and deposited there a bun
dle of letters, all of which were ad
dressed in a feminine hand.
Soon thereafter letters and packages
without end began to arrive for
"Nora,'' until the postmaster's life be
came so little worth living that he
was almost upon the point of becom
ing desperate and sending in his resig
nation to the Philadelphia merchant.
While pondering upon the advisability
of this step he received a letter
adressed to hhnself in his official ca
pacity. This was the letter:
MiIjI.iaiidvii.Tji:, I;u, Oct. tJ, ISS9.
I saw this lady's advertisement in a
newspaper called the climax printed iu
Chicago, TJ. S. A. and i answered the
same, this Miss Nora henry claimed
to bo a Orphan i though i would try
my luck for a wife as a fool will some
times and i think i have bin duped,
that is the long and short of it she
promised to marry me the 15 of Nov
ember 1880. further more she asked
me to send her a watch to pack til we
were married and i like a fool mailed
her a watch at this office the 18 of
September 89.
After i mailed the watch to her i
went home and got to studying over
the matter and went bacek to the
office to remand the letter Back. But
the mail had gone so i was left, i have
got all the letters i have reseived from
her. i got to comparing them to eeth-
er and they did-not jibe just to suit
me so that is the reason I rote to you
to forward the letter Back to me. i
got none letter from her since i sent
the watch to her.
i sent her a registered letter wonce
before and the card came Back signed
By a man his name sign on the card
was i. J. Henry, enything more that
you wish to know i can help you i will
be most happy to do so. James Jones.
Then the postmaster smiled know
ingly, winked his left eye slowly but
empatically, and picked up another
letter addressed to himself. This, was
from a Dakota fanner:
"I never squeal. I guess I've been
badly bit, but I would not trade my
lesson for a good deal. If you see
Miss Henry tell her that while my
love for her has entirely cooled, my
respect for her gall and slickness will
remain forever. That girl is a hun."
"Vengeance is mine" muttered the
postmaster, and forthwith told all he
knew to the authorities, with the re
sult that Blacksmith Henry and his
brother Isaac, were arrested and
brought here. Isaac, it seems, was in
the secret, but he kindly agreed to
turn state's evidence, and told the
officials all they wanted to know.
The blacksmith was indicted and a
few days ago was arrainged before
Judge Dundy, where he pleaded
guilty and asked for mercy. The
judge said:
"It is not the business of the court
to protect fools, but I can tell you
now that if you return the property
of which you defrauded these people
the court will be better disposed
towards you. Any man old enough to
marry ought, to have more sense than
to bite at this orphan business, and I

time to think over tho matter, and
perhaps you will conclude to deliver
up the propertj'."
Upon the judge's table were mail
bags full of the letters which had been
scut to the blacksmith by his dupes.
His scheme was to answer the replies,
iuelosiug in each a photograph of
"Nora."
Oai' of tho lirat to respond was
Howard Charlson; an old farmer, at
Castle .Rock, Wash. The old gentle
man sent a lottcr filled with endear
ing terms and proposing matrimony.
And, Nora, responding, said her heart
wa9 touched and she was willing to
trust herself with the agriculturist.
Then .as a starter, Farmer Charlton
sent Nora a little pin, costing perhaps
several dollars.
Yet Nora was too poor to pay her
faro to Castle Book, and would her
husband kindly send her tho amount
Of course he would, and Parmer
Charlson went down into his jeans
and sent Nora $75 in good hard cash,
at the same time urgiug her to -come
o i and be loved. Nora acknowledged
the receipt of the cash in the follow
ing, written in a delightful feminine
hand:
Nebraska Crrr, Aug. 12.
Dear Heward: Your highly es
teemed favor containing tho necessary
car faro reached me to-day, and I
hasten to thank you. I must hurry
to get my things ready, so write has
tily. I will come by the Union Pa
cific railway, and will stop atPortland
if nothing unusual happens. I am in
experienced in traveling. I will tele
graph you. I cannot leave until tho
23d, as I'havo a sewing maching to
sell. Overlook all blunders, for soon
we will be together and so happy.
Nora.
Then Nora would follow this by an
other letter bemoaning her sad fate.
She had lost tho money and would be
forced to remain away from her
adorer until he duplicated the carfare,
and in many cases tho poor dupe dup
licated. Meanwhile matters looked
bad for Blacksmith Henry, but the
postmaster at Nebraska City is happy
once more.

as tho average of Englishmen, and
the French and Italians aro paupers in

Osages no penniless people and none
in want, except that insatiable waul i
that always wants more. There are f
1,591 of them according io last j oar's i
census. They havo in the United

This amounts to a capital of

of laud, equal to just 1000 acres
apiece. The liud is mostly line and
amble, and would sell for un average
of 10 an acre or 10.000 for each in
dividual's portion. This makes each
individual Osago Indian worth
$15,172. Eacii family possesses
$60,000 on an average, and tho hed
