FOR REAL MAN, Here Is Frank Klickler, “the Handsomest ifan in Secau- sus,” Wb Offered Himself Yor a Quarter a Throw. BUT IT WAS IN NEW JERSEY. | This Queerest of the Odd Crop of Things That Comes Out of that State Did Not Take Place Owing to a Muscular Wise Brother, ‘There were several indignation meet- fngs in Secaucus, N. J., to-day, In which several hundred young women. aspinsters of uncertain age, and widows—they are always young—complained bitterly that fate had deprived them of a chance of @ lifetime to win the handsomest man in Secaucus at a raffle, and for only % cents a chance. What angered the women still more was that they had paid the admission fee to this raffle, fecring fully justified in this extravagance after reading this placard pasted up !n various prominent J about their native v Places in a’ lage: : : : x 1 HOTEL, 1 1 1 i Now Mr. Frank Kllckler ts only nine- teen years old, and he worked as aj} farm hand for William Seidel for the | last four months, He had only been on the farm a short Ume when he an- nounced that it was remarkable how the Seoaucian beauties were clamoring for Introductions to him. Sympathized for the Girls, “Of course.” he sald to Fritz Schreiber, his companion farm hand, “I am handsome and [ don’t blame them, white and black, young and old, rica and poor, for faling in love with me, but I don't see how I can marry them all.” Finally he hit upon the brilliant idea | of offering himself as a prize at a rate, | ‘end he went to a printer and had a hundred placards Iie the above printed, He pasted them up on trees, on fences, in the road-houses and hotels and other conspicuous places. He also had 60) hun- dred tickets printed, Hanging a piacard around his neck, he stood in the streets | and sold tickets for his raffle, In one | day, it {s sald, that he sold Then, | according to his story, the village swains | became jealous and began playing all Kinds of jokes on him. He was sent to some of the neighboring farmers, ‘who, he was told, had several daughters who wanted to buy a half dozen chances each. All these young women, however, were engaged, and when thelr flance finished with Mr. Klickler it was doubt- ful If he could Justify the, statement in his placards as to his beauty. Then the proprietor of the Washington Hotel told him that no man raffle would be allowed in his place, despite the protests of the 200 purchasers of the tickets to the raMe, ‘Tried to Steer Him Of, Finally a letter was sent to “the hand- gomest man in Secaucus,” containing @ suggestive drawing of a man riding on a rail and covered with a combina- tion suit of tar and feathers. ‘Though this hint had no effect upon him his em- ployer sent It to his elder brother, John Kiickler, who lives on Houston street. in this clty, The brother, who ts vig- orous and muscular, went to Secau to-day and brought Mr. Henry Klickle Rome with him, As the two young me: passed down the main thoroughfare of Secaucus, they were compelled to run the gamut of scores of women of all kinds, colors and. conditions, who had hoped to tempt the matrimonial whee! of fortune at the raffie.

He was everything to me, but I could not stand his abuse. I cou'd not live with him and stand his peating any longer." She turned her head toward the light as she spoke and a great showed on her brow and cheek. ‘That was where Johneon had smashed a big glass vase on her on Nov, 19 last, the day she shot him, “Ido not know why TI loved him,” she continued a moment later, “I cannot explain {t.

The prospect of appearing as a wit- ness In a court of law did not appal Mrs, Zevley.

Going to the window she looked out and saw a big horse atttached to a cart laden with coal slipping and sliding along the slippery pavement, Cooper was sitting on the cart, curs- ing and belaboring the horse with whip. Two or three times the willing animal fell to his knees, but he was unable to move the load. Finally Cooper, leap- ing from his seat, began to pound the animal on the head with the butt of hia heavy whip. This was too much for Mrs. Zebley, She hurried out of the house and made Cooper cease beating the ‘horse, Then ehe got @ policeman and had the driver arrested, Cooper had no defense when arraigned to-day, save that it was necessary to whip the horse to make him pull the load, He had no excuse to offer tor using the but end of the whip.
