Show WOMAN'S WAYS. A Colorado man recently returned to his former home in Missouri and among other acquaintences [acquaintances] he renewed was one with Annie Lawless. In a joking manner he offered the girl's mother twenty-five cents for her. The mother accepted the proposition and the girl assented in similar spirit of fun. The Colorado man then grew serious and procured a marriage license. An irresistable [irresistible] influence, as the girl claimed, prompted her to go to the Justice of the Peace. They were married and then the girl got mad as soon as the ceremony was over, and she went home to her ma. The young man much puzzled, returned to his Colorado home. |
