Here's the chance, girls, even though the leap year privilege is soon to expire.  Widows, also, providing they are young.  Chance to secure as husband a "gentleman of good family, thirty years of age, great figure, physically agreeable, amiable character, well educated and enjoying a good position!"  What more could be wanted?  Even the hero on the stage doesn't possess greater desirable qualities.  Best of all, this rare species is willing to marry.  No dillydallying, not even a tedious courtship, but business from the jump, a straight and short path leading direct to the altar.  There are only one or two minor requisites.  The girl or the widow must be young, of sweet character, be independent and possess a fortune.  That's easy.  The Times-Star presents the opportunity, in behalf of the gentleman of great figure, and positively refuses to charge for his advertisement, although he wants to pay.  The opportunity came through Thursday's mail, when an imposing-looking envelope was delivered.  It is from Duisburg, Germany, and reads thus:

"Gentleman—Good family 30 age, great figure, phys. Agreeable, amiable character, well eductade, (sic) good position, desire to marry miss or young widow, sweet character, independent, having fortune.  Write L.A.M., Duisburg, postlagernd (general delivery), Germany."
