A Widow’s Offers of Marriage.

In a mining center some eighty miles from Coolgardie, in Western Australia, a carpenter died, and his widow had offers of marriage from the doctor who attended the deceased, the undertaker, the clergyman who read the burial service, the, local apothecary who made up the medicines and prescribed for the departed and the custodian of the cemetery where he was interred; likewise from about a score of mine managers and miners. She did not accept one of the suitors and departed" for her home in Melbourne.
