Sentimental Hoosier Would Like to Marry a Census GirL

Mr. Pyles, Jr., R. F. D. No. 2, Colburn, Ind., would like to correspond with a girl in the government census office with the object of matrimony. There are some 2,000 girls in the office and Mr. Pyles’ letter looks like a proposal to all ot them. The letter was received by Chief Clejk Viles a few days ago. It reads: - Hello Census Girls: Hearing so much about your beauty and fine qualities and knowing you must be good workers or else you would not ba holding your jobs, I would like to coorespond with some one of you with the ultimate object of matrimony. I am forty years old and am a natural home body and of mild temperament. I am a farmer by profession and birth and am noted for my gentle disposition. In order that you may have some idea of my personal appearance • 1 might say for your benefit that I am of graceful stature and have brown eyes—considered dreamy—and blond hair which is Inclined to be of the curly kind you read so about in novels. I think I would know how to make a wife happy, and if she knew how to cook, wash, iron and to take a hand in a little farm work I would see that she got lots of fine clothes and a mirror for her own use. I prefer a woman who is between 17 and 30 years old and one who has not been married before and is naturally loving. Trusting to have an early reply from the right party, I remain, Mr. Pyles, Jr., R. F. D. No. 2, Colburn, Ind.
