WENT WEST FOR NAUGHT.

A Pennsylvania Damsel Travels to Spokane Falls for a Husband to Meet Disappointment. An advertisement inserted in a Chicago matrimonial paper by Harry F. Fleming, a wholesale baker, of Spokane Falls, Wash., caught the eye of Miss Grace Glassgow, «f Marklesburg, Pa. She is a petite brunette of 30, 'and is the e'dest daughter of Professor Samuel LoGlassgow, a leading educator and prominent figure in Huntington County politics. An ardent correspondence ensued, photographs were exchanged and Miss Glasgow finally accepted a proposal of marriage from her unknown Western wooer. The gallant Fleming furnished her with a through ticket and an abundance of money for the trave ing expenses, and Miss Glasgow left quietly for Spokane Falls. The other night shereturned unexpectedly to her parents’ home still unmarried, weary and dejected over her fruitless and fatiguing journey. She had met her fiance, but hia material and physical charms were not in keeping with his written and pictured representation of himself, and so the disappointed damsel nullified the engagement with a frigid farewell bow.
