PPARENTLY little Danny Cupid
"A has a variety of darts in that
= - amazing culver of his, which he
handles with such inconsequentiaI
recklessness- All Of his darts produce
immediate effect when they first enter
the human heart, which is the bulls
eye Of the chubby rogue's target but
they do not seem to produce the same
effect at all Once hit by one OF Dan
ny's arrows. some men will love with
all the intensity Of their being. but
one woman for the rest OF life. All
other arrows of Cupid have no result
With the very next man the effect Of
Danny's archery will last but a short
time. at best a month or 50. Then
he goes into fresh ecstacy over the
next girl he meets, after Cupid has
fired another arrow in his direction
This Will sometimes happen so often
that one is inclined to believe that even
the wind, stirred by the arrow Of
Cupid as IL passes near such a man,
will make him have a new and des-
perate affair. With girls il is the
same. One girl. having once given her
love to a man will carry that love in
her heart to the end of her mortal
days. The girl beside her may fan
in and out OF love as easily as she
changes her gloves. The tragedy OF
II is that Cupid is so rascally careless
Of his arrows. He usually gives the
constant man to the girl OF the vacil-
lating heart and binds for life the
heart Of the constant girl to the tickle
love-trifler OF a man.
IF Danny only could be persuaded
to be a sensible little sod, he would
mate kind with kind and give love-
trifler a coquette for a sweetheart,
while awarding to the girl OF con-
stancy. the lover who may be faithful
so very rarely that It makes US all be-
Iieve IT is purely accidental on Cupid's
part. he does unite two really true
hearts. Then the world IS cheered out
Of its wretched establishment and
people say well, look at SO and so;
there may be such a thing as true love
after all, for so il seems with them
Little Cupid has been playing such
reckless tricks with FL PasOans lately
that after all we have known Cupid
to do, we are amazed. Before the de-
parture OF the regular troops for Mex
leo, last spring, Cupid had a rOllick1nE
old time His arrows whiZzed around
athe army camps and. when the troops
left, the intimate friends Of at least
six couples knew of promises pledged
in the last tender moments Of parting
West Point class rings thereafter
ornamented the third finger Of the
FL Paso girls. But Mexico is long
ways off, and-absence sometimes
makes the heart grow fOnder of some
one else One Of those farewell
pledged maidens has become the bride
OF another man. One of those parting
torn officers has chosen q bride. but
not the girl from whom he was so
wretched at parting. You see tickle
ness isn't a sex affair; the game IS
even so far. About the others OF those
love-lorn couples. some are showing
the symptoms of "a hot friend cool
ing as dear Billy Shakspere de-
scribes it In the meantime, we are
wondering and waiting while We ask:
What next"
Have you ever noticed the mills be
= ing cut down about FL Pasz To me
there is something very inspiring
about it The nerve Of mere men TO
roll I'D their sleeves and change the
man where they don't like it, Isn't
il really thrilling, 10 think that peO-
