The widows of Chicago, or, rather,
a progressive portion of them, have
organized to protect themselves from
married men, triflers and the economic
stress due to living the artificial life,
says a Chicago dispatch. An applica
tion for a charter Tor tbe Widows’ as
sociation has been made.
The object of the association Is to
provide o sort of a community home
for widows, where they can have more
freedom than In hotels and boarding
houses and more congenial company
than they can have in their flats or
homes. As many of the widows have
children, wddows with children will be
welcome In the home. Because of the
“little encumbrances” they now find
themselves boycotted by hotels and
flinty landlords. This Is one of the
crying evils that the association Is to
remove.
Only real widows are eligible to mem
bership in the organization. Divorcees
and grass widows are barred. The can
didate for membership, be she young
and pretty or old and plain, must pro
duce evidence that “ho” Is dead for
keeps. A death certificate may bo re
quired by the bylaws.
The widows have discovered that
married men consider widows their
prey. The rules governing the home
will seek to prevent men from sailing
under false colors. No married men
will In* allowed t<> make sentimental
calls on widows, tint. married men
friends may call if accompanied by
their wives
There Is a class of unmarried men
whom the widows put down ns triflers
who will not be welcome in the home.
Experienced widows can always tell a
trlflcr, but real young widows are pie
for him. The organization is intended
to assist ill members, and the ox purl
enood widow will see to 1 it that tin*
young and hcxpcrionced are not tool
ed ly the d L ivid species of male.

There are fifty other widows In tin*
combination. The majority of them
nr'* under thirty-five. While they will
not discourage Cupid, they will see that
there Is no whirlwind marriage panic.

side of the home will be n special fea

ballroom, library, play rooms and

thing that modern conditions require

A Terrible Banishment.
Herr Hager, a wealthy and absent-
minded banker who lived in Berlin
many years ago, frequently bad watch
es picked from hl« poekot. At first be
had recourse to all kinds of safety
chains; thoo one tine morning be took
no precaution whatever and quietly al
lowed himself to be robbed. At night,
on returning from business, he took up
the evening paper, wiiefi he uttered an
exclamation of delight. A watch had
exploded in a man’s hands. The hands
of the victim were shattered and the
left eye gone. ’Hie crafty banker bad
tilled the watch case with dynamite,
which exploded during the operation of
winding.
Salt anil Epilepsy.
“Whenever we get n call to attend a
case of epilepsy, said uu ambulance
surgeon at Bellevue, "we always find
the patient's neck and face covered
with salt. The effleieuey of salt as a
cure for epilepsy is evidently a relic of
some old country superstition, though
just what it is we’ve never been able
to find out.”—New York Sun.
