    Summary

     

     

    The advertisement: Chance for a spinster. A young man named Ben Solo in De Smet, Dakota Territory, advertising for a wife, speaks of himself as follows: “I am 24 years old, have a good set of teeth, and believe in Andy Johnson, the star spangled banner, and the 4th of July. I have taken up a lot of eighteen acres last year, and seeded ten of it down. My buckwheat looks first-rate, and the oats and potatoes are bully. I have got nine chickens, a pig, a two year old bull, two heifers, two horses, besides a house and barn. I want to get married. I want to buy bread-and-butter, hoop-skirts, and waterfalls for some person of the female persuasion during life. That’s what’s the matter with me. But I don’t know how to do it.”

    The respondent: Rey

    The submitter: Ben Solo...or was it his interfering mother??
