How THE TEXAN GIRL MARRIEs.-
While social philosophers have been try.
ing to explain why young men do not
marry, Texas girl has pluckily proven
that they sometimes do. 1t appears to
have been this young lady's misfortune
to have had backward and bashful
lover. There was reason to believe
from his constant visits that his passion
was intense enough for even that volup
tuous cline, but beyond an occasiona
glance that only irritnted the girl who
was waiting very impatiently for some
more substantial evidences of affection,
he gave little sign of the fire with which
he wasn't being consumed. The dim light
of turned. down lamp TO which she
resorted now and then frightened him
beyond the power of speech. He would
neither clasp her hand or her, and when
she hitched her chair closer toward him
some invisible power crowded his away
to respectful distance. 1t wasn't a
very cheerful courtship for either.
Time flies, and the average girl wants
something more from her lover than
awkward looks. The young man came
night after night and spoke eloquently
Of the cholera in Spain, the territorial
uprising of the Indians, the way the
political rascals were being turned out,
and where his fellow citizen, Mr.. Flana.
gan, would likely go to next.
He commended Cleveland's policy and
spoke Of the growing crops yellowing
in the golden sunlight. But he drew
the line on declaring his love.
Several times she held her breath as
he walked dangerously near the de.
sired point, but something seemed to
warn him in time and he swallowed the
lump in his throat and drew off in tol.
cradle order. Then when patience had
ceased to be virtue and the old folks
were growing about the oil bill, scant as
it was, she leveled pistol at his head
and proposed herself. OF course he
didn't refuse.
Rumor says that they were promptly
married and that neither has evel
regretted the impetuous bethrothal
Perhaps not, but the young man
probably wouldn't tell all he think,
for reasons ofpersonal safety. The girl
who keeps a revolver in close proximity
for use on bashful lover would prob
ably train Gatling gun on the head o.
refractory husband Still, the expert
ment might be tried by the eastern ant
northern girls, as it may be bashful
ness, not fear of expense, tina
prevents so many men in these sec
tions from marrying. Perhaps, though, il
would be wise not to use loaded pistol
occasionally weapon of that kind i
dangerous when handled by man. 1t
death dealing power can only be surmiset
when turned loose by an irate woman
