AFreck|edCupid
By Wilbur D. Nesbit

1t Is not written in books Of fate
that the Fourth of July Is any day to
propose to girl.
Christmas day, Thanksgiving day,
New Years day, or any other day will
do, but the Fourth is not romantic;
1t is patriotic. On that day a man is
supposed to love his native land. He
Is to listen to speeches, or make them,
about the indivisibility of our country.
He is to watch the flreworks-where
they are permitted-and not do any
sparkling on his own account.
Every day Is Fourth Of July to some
men. They have made up their minds
that they hope to marry a certain girl,
but when it comes to stating their de-
cision the tongue cleaves to the roof
of the mouth and the right arm seems
to have lost its cunning.
Jim Hicks was such a man. When
love making was concerned, all days
were the Fourth for him. Otherwise
his name would have been Armand
Decourcey. AS it was, he was just
what you would expect Of a man of
that name.
Jim had been keeping company
off and on with Luella Miller for a
matter Of three years. This guaran-
teed him a certain standing as her
beau" but what woman wants to go
on forever that way?
On Luella's mind was the one i'm
portant thought which rests upon the
mind Of every woman when she has
found the right man. That was to
make Jim propose. The romantic no
ton that woman in love is coy,
blushing thing. timorous. trembling,
afraid of the great masculine c>eature,
may be justified in some cases. But
with the Luellas and Jims Of this
world it does not obtain. Luella had
exhibited to Jim her deftness as a
cook; she had acquainted him with
her cleverness as a needleworker, she
had demonstrated over and over that
she would make an ideal wife.
Put Jim hadn't proposed.
Consequently. on the Fourth, when
Luella saw Henry Nelson, the bad boy
Of the village, with huge cannon
cracker he had kept secreted since
last year, and which he proposed to
explode somewhere during the day OF
evening, she made war plans.
Henry" she said. don't you know
it's against the law to have such 8
flrecracker?"
"Aw," Henry muttered. 81 dom
know"
"Well, it is. And if the marsha
finds it out he will put you in the
lookup as an example"
Jaw! Somebody's always maxim {
example O. me. l s'pose you're goip
to go an blab on me now"
II won't, If you'll do something fol
me-and it will be a whole lot O
fun for you. Henry"

"Wot:"
Don't you want to play a good joke
on Jim Hicks?"
Jaw! He's your feller."
well, anyhow, Henry, I'll tell you
how to play good joke on him, and
I'll help you to do it. You come up
by our house this evening, and Jim
will be there. I'll get him to stand
at the gate and talk to me, and you
slip up and set off your big firecracker
right behind him. That'll scare him
half to death, and will be just lots OF
fun for YOU"
cav! Wot dye want to scare him
fer?"
"Well. you know how big and strong
he is, and how brave he acts. Let's
see If we can't get good one on him,
Henry"
Jaw! I was goin' to shoot this of
behind the school teacher"
But at last Luella managed to con-
vince Henry that he could have more
fun with the cannon cracker by ex-
ploding it behind Jim than If he set
it off anywhere else.
Jim never has understood why Luz
ella was waiting at the gate for him
that evening, nor why she kept him
standing there, talking Of the weather
and the crowd down town and this,
that, and everything. 1t had always
been her custom to greet him at the
front door, and to express surprise at
seeing him. This is one of the enjoy.
able fictions Of courtship.
II think it is so lovely when the
stars come out as they are coming out
tonight, don't your" Luella was asking
Jim.
Bang!!
Luella shrieked and tainted dead
away, apparently. but she tainted
toward Jim in such manner that the
gate swung open and she reposed
Imply against his manly bosom.
Under the circumstances, there was
but one thing Jim could do, and that
was to keep her from falling to the
ground. This is best accomplished in
the case Of fainting lady by placing
your arms about her and allowing her

comes natural to most men. What
else Jim did, and what he said to
Luella to calm her fears and to re-
vive her to consciousness may only be
conjectured.
Henry Nelson, however, kept up a
derisive series of yells and bowls Of
laughter, and Luella at last opened
her eyes and asked dreamily:
where am II"
Henry shouted: "Aw! He was a.
huggin' you, an he kissed you!"
Then Henry turned and fed. Jim
shaking fist after him.
'Luella." Jim said, Tin ashamed
but Henry told the truth. When you

"Why, JIM"
AN now he'll tell it all over town,
an l don't want to have people talkin'
about you without good reason, So
so-hadn't We better have 'em say
we're engaged?"
And then it looked as though Lu
ella had tainted all over again.

many Hail. he would not vote for
him. In changing to Wilson, Mr..
Bryan said he reserved the right to
switch again if New York or any
other states controlled by the in
terests" should go to the standard OF
the New Jersey governor.
From the floor a score of delegates
hurled questions at the Nebraskan
and Kissed or applauded as he en-.
deavored to make himself heard in
answer. Several delegates demanded
to know If Mr.. Bryan would suppaSt
the ultimate nominee of the conv9l-
ton in the event that his nominating
vote included the ninety from the
state of New York

make his protest in advance of any

was committed, but would not be per-
mitted to defend "the criminal If he
had abetted the crime.
Some of the delegates believed Mr..
Bryan was making a final bid for the
nomination. If 1t was intended as
such, it appeared to fail, for there
seemed to be capitalization OF the
forces against him and their strength
seemed to indicate that Bryan
stampede, SO often expected, was out
of the question.
Late Saturday night Speaker Clark
issued the following statement:
To-day in the national convention
an outrageous aspersion was cast
upon me and through me upon the
Democratic party by one who of all
men ought to be the last to besmudge
or betray his friends or his party.
So far as l am personally concerned,
| 1t is enough to say that the charge
which reflects upon my personal or
| party integrity is utterly and abso-
| lutely false. I might afford to for.
| get myself, but l am by the choice of
the Democratic majority of the house
of representatives the ranking Demo-
cratic official in public life l cannot
be false or corrupt without rejecting
upon my party in the most serious
way.
ANY man who would enter into an
alliance with any selfish interest or
privileged class of this country to
gain the nomination for the presi
dency is unworthy of the presidency
and of the speakership of the house
If have not entered into such an al
lance then the Democrat, however
distinguished, who wantonly charges
me with this act is traitor to the
Democratic party and to his pro-
fessed friendship to me.
Il am not here to plea for nominal
ton or attempt to influence any mans
political action. Let every man pro-
coed in this convention according to
convictions and the expressed will of
bis constituents. ask no undue
consideration from any man, be he
friend or foe, but demand exact JUS
tice from every Democrat, either in
this convention or throughout the ma.
ton. With William J. Bryan and his
charge in the convention today the
issue is proof or retraction. l shall
expect him to meet that ISSUE"
