A GRAVE and dignifed gentleman in
~ the uniform of major Of the United
- = States Army stood, not many days
New York. If one had been observing
him closely one would have seen the
Majors shoulders straighten suddenly. his
eyes brighten, look of intensest interest
spread over his militarily stern face. Had
the observer followed his glance it would
have been seen to rest upon a daintily
curved, piquant damsel who, with friend,
was tripping along to the corner of Forty
fourth street.
Watching further, he would have seen
the Major dart down the steps, take a
position close behind the two pretty
maidens, and follow them to the very en-
trance of the Fortyfourth Street Theatre.
At the stage entrance of that theatre they
vanished.
The Major meditated for minute.
"H'm!" he said, and "hm!" again.
To-day the lady upon whom the ardent
glances rested is Mrs H. B. Clark, wife of
the military gentleman to whom the
glances belonged.
And thus 1t is proven that the curiously
romantic love germ which made famous
the old Florodora Sextette was disin-
TERED after twenty years with the comic
opera and is still busy and doing business
in the same old way at the old stand. For
Mrs. Clark was, when Major Clark saw
her, the leader Of the new sextette Of the
lesuseitated opera and was even then on
her way to rehearsal.
First of the sextette, she is the first to
60 the, way the Florodora microbe has
always led. How soon will others follow?
To philosophers, both on and off Broad
way, it is extremely interesting to note
that the germ is still running true to form
and that the new sextette is beginning to
marry just as did the .old-that is, marry
suddenly after somewhat unconventional
meetings and wooings. And also, marry
well-which means wedding millions or
high position or both. For, while the curl
Gus careers OF the old beauties had their
share Of hectic happenings and tragedies,
1t is, nevertheless, a fact that "sextette
luck in love" has passed into a proverb
in stagedom.
Back in those days girls strenuously en-
deavored to get into the number because
they believed 1t would change their luck!"

Boulevard Please
The Tourists

The Karsas-C Colorado boulevard is
being given some good advertising by
at least two tourist .partys who have
recently gone over the road.
Last Sunday William Hartmann
end family came in from the east
over the boulevard and he stated
that 1t was by far the best road he
encountered on his trip from Okla
homa. and that it was about as fine Il
highway as one would with. He is
of the belief that the Kansaa-Colo-
rado boulevard is deserving of all
the good things that may bo said
about it.
Another good boost came back in
q card written to j. B. Estes by Nick
Carter, former resident of Ordway.
Mr.. Carter had stopped off in Ord

He took the boulevard road out of
here and in a message to Mr., Estes
he said that it was the best highway
he had yet travelled. Both Mr.. Car
ter and Mr.. Hartmann stated that
car could be set at high speed and
kept that way without q change, for
miles at stretch. Mr.. Hartmann
set his speed at 40-miles an hour on
one stretch and did not make a
change for a distance of 25 miles.

BRYAN IS FACING
HARDEST FIGHT OF
POLITICAL CAREER
Convention at Present Organ
lied Solidly Behind
Pres't Wilson.
BY HUGH BAulLIE.
United Press stan COrrespondent.l

SAN FRANCISCO. Calf. June 25.
William Jennings Bryan, arriving
here Friday, faces one OF the hard
est fights of his career TO wrest from
the administration control Of the
democratic national convention.
The convention as at present or
ganized is practically solidly in
charge Of the friend OF PRIEST viii
son, and the program is 10 put il
on record as indorsing the execu-
tive's policies. particularly the
league OF nations, and 10 go into
the campaign on that issue
Bryan is believed TO be determin
ed 10 break up this control, prevent
the convention from fatty indors-
ing the league and making the race
on Wilson's record. and 10 inject
a number of new issues into the sit
uation. When he steps from the
train in San Francisco this after
noon, however, he will find his OPP
ponents, who have been on the
ground for two weeks, apparently
sitting pretty and confident that
the commoner's eleventh hour ar
rival will not seriously annoy them
Present Situation.
The convention situation Friday
is this:
The temporary chairman will be
Homer S. Cummings. chairman OF
the national committee, whose re-
signation Bryan demanded several
months ago.
Cummings has prepared a key
note speech applauding the record
Of the administration, ii is under
stood and putting forward the
league issue.
The permanent Craftsmanship is
scheduled TO go 10 cambridge Col
by, secretary of state, who was ap-
pointed by Prest Wilson after he
practically removed Robert Lans-
ing because he disagreed with the
executive. Colby is now on his way
here from Washington and If elect
ed he is expected TO make an ex-
temporaneous speech which will
amount 10 a statement from the
president TO the convention.
One chairmanship of the import
ant committee on resolutions, which
will frame the platform, is schedul-
ed 10 go 10 Sen Carter Glass of
Virginia. who is now on the ground
with the league OF nations platform
plank adopted by the Virginia state
convention, and approved by the
president, as q model for the one
he wants to go into the national
platform.

DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION
TO FURNISH MORE NEWS
WITH COMING OF BRYAN

OF varying degrees of avowedness.
and loquacity. namely: Vice Pres't
Thomas r. Marshall, Sen. Robert L.
owen. Sen. Carter Glass. James w.
Gerard. Gov. Alfred Z. Smith OF New
York. and Homer s. Cummings. Still
others are on the way and those
who will be absent are steadily re-
enforcing their armies OF occupa-
ton.
Atty. Gen. A. Mitchell Palmer is
on the same train with Bryan.
Tcday's meeting Of the national
committee also helps to lift the pre-
convention news situation from the
plane OF speculation, rumor. and
forecast 10 that OF actually. Ditto
the arrival of various earnest outside
folk seeking TO assist the party in the
construction OF a platform.
According to latest information
Bryan has already achieved his first
pre-convention victory in the deci-
sion CT the Nebraska delegation,
after much argument, to let him be
its representative on the resolutions
committee, although nearly all it's
members are opposed 20 his League
OF Nations policy and they are even
~ divided on the wet or dry issue.
