CUPIDS DARTS
OUR WIRE WORKS WELL—CUMT FREELY MAKES DISCLOSURES—MOR AND MORE WHO ARE VICTIMS—SOM NEARER "GONE" THAN OTHERS- MAMMAS WHO WILL LOSE BELOW DARLINGS.
One of our first messages this week tells of what now seems to promise successful archery in the affairs of a prominent young miller and the charming young daughter of a recent investor in the milling business. All now seems well. Former barriers are now beaten away and the target now faces but one archer and he is becoming more and more skilled. He has his distances well, has studied past failures in his archery, mended defects, grown more and more intent upon gaining his object, with determined aggressiveness is exhausting every quiver and at last victory seems to be about to crown his efforts.
The prosperous young lumber merchant of south Massachusetts street at last thinks he sees the Star of his destiny on the second. So long has he listened to its sweet music, growing brighter and brighter year by year, that his joy is now about complete, with the future promising light only.
Unable through orthography or grammatical construction to decipher the following gory sounding dispatch we give it in full thinking perhaps some of our readers may secure the cue and give the public the benefit of it. It seems quite portentious and should anybody secure the cue, please hand it at once to the young city editor of the Journal, that he may through the columns of his valuable journal relieve the good people of this city of their anxiety. It is evidently a case for "The Terror of the West."
THRON OF HIS ROYAL MAJESTY CUID,
December 21, 1885
Special to the Courrier:
Your city is promised a great surprise. It has been developing slowly coming rapidly to the elimax within the past month. A deem has been gored in your city, the last stroke given last night. An effort is being made to keep all quiet. Developments may be expected at any time."
Through his "magical touch" one prominent young, instrumental music teacher has at last secured the right impression upon one of his most popular young pupils, and though it may be long, ere the bells will ring, we have evidence that ropes of such texture, as to be 'e'en by diamond edge inseparable, are tied thereto and held by the pupil, requiring only the pull, to do the deed.
Darts pass weekly from Lawrence to Adrian, Mich., in the interests of the ever happy young gentleman who presiding over the genteel appearance of the young men of our city does so much for the success of His Majesty Cupid, in our midst. Looking after the welfare of others he now finds a little time for self and if at any time he is missed from the famous "103," for any length of time, don't be surprised, if something happens.
The charming young songstress continuing her studies in the East seems to be the target of two gallant archers. Distance considered we understand the contest wages warmly. The young jeweler opposite the Journal office seems holding his own. A message of peculiar tenor comes in the first of the week for the benevolent of our city's popular, young cool dealer of the Pacific express corner. Notwithstanding his version thereof the recent trip westward we fear had peculiar significance. Do not be surprised if another is taken soon.
The pleasant young job printer under the Douglas County bank, who has furnished so many happy, happy "announcements" for friends will
soon give the office a job for self—the far land having been reached. The young railroad man from Omaha will soon claim "for better or worse," the young lady of the large brick house opposite the Central school—northward.
One of the prominently connected young men with the "little bogus Courier," it is reported tri-weekly (and offender) worships at the shrine of the only daughter of one of our prominent jewelers. A message this week however saves the goal recedes.
On the road to happiness with prospects brightening is the young boot and shoe clerk who is assisting his propeller to close out his stock to quit business. Charmed by the young Moss of K. S. U., the gentle spirit reciprocated, all promises well.
The young man of fancy horses and who knows how to handle them well, at last finds it requires something more to satisfy the want in his many bosom. He has evidently found the Moore.
The young bank teller, of Pratt Center and the accomplished young Miss of Lee—Massachusetts street seem to bear the world's ills contentedly in each others understanding.
The accommodating young mail carrier of the west side of Massachusetts street and the "young lady of his heart" since their enjoyable evening buggy ride of sometime since seem to have bright view of the future. We'll man that ride be forgotten-lost in the brightness of the future time, distance, all, received no recognition—with what result (?) Later—A message says this may be to old.
The son of our hardware merchant thinks if not *Warn-ed*, things are *Good good* for him.
The young man of "smiling countenance" in spite of business requiring the caring entirely for the after shadows of life, seems for himself to be looking entirely to bright years to come. He will soon return from the Buckeye State with the partner of his joys.
Whispers are prevalent of a young type and man of letters being severely snithed on first sight with one of Toneka's fairest daughters.
The every body-likes-him-young man of one of our stationery stores, and the queen of North Lawrence seem to be arriving at a better and better understanding.
The son of one of our prominent physicians and the ever accommodating and generous young lady of Central telephone office seem to be under a like kindly influence.
The young auditor of the southern Kansas seems to be devoting considerable attention to one of tha fairest of the fair on Vermont street
A very prominent city belle smiles sweetly on Lawrence boys until the young gentleman of K. C. arrives, when Lawrence is forgotten.
This week we print merely what is given by "our wire." Nobody is "responsible" for the "Darts." Spleen must be buried in the joy of a Merry Xmas and Happy New Year.

It is sometimes bewildering to simply gaze on the array of beautiful things spread out at this time of the year for our delectation. It gives one a feeling of genuine pleasure merely to wander through some of the stores on Massachusetts street; but be sure to call at the store of J. S. Crew & Co., and see the handsome stock of articles suitable for Christmas presents. Call early to make a good selection.
FIFTY ladies were in attendance at the L.C. Sorosis convention. A business meeting was held Thursday foronoon, followed by a Thanksgiving dinner. The delegates accepted an invitation from the Usher Guards to attend their ball in the evening. Friday morning the grand officers for the easing year were elected. The convention adjourned on Saturday to meet in Hacienda December, 1889. The members were then given an informal reception by the Betas and Phi Pis. The delegates report as a whole an elegant entertainment.-Simpsonian, Indiananota, Iowa.
ART LEAGUE.—The Lawrence Art League met in regular session Monday evening last, and pursued the study of Ruskin's Modern Painters. The discussion became metaphysical at times, as Ruskin splits hairs in defining terms. The handling of such subjects is valuable to students of art — it tends to show them that they don't know any too much, and makes them think "powerful." Two new members were taken into close communion, Miss Mary Glenson and Miss —— ——, (name we failed to get). The treasury received a substantial addition as the result of the last exhibition. Between four and five hundred people visited the exhibition in the four days it remained open. We note that in New Orleans, this year, some of the finest pictures on exhibition are marked "to rent." Think of it. High art sunk to the level of a puppet show. All a rich town has to do now o' days to make itself an art center, is to rent a lot of fair pictures and make itself an enviable? reputation. Lawrence, sleepy Lawrence, as she is sometimes called, can muster up an exhibition of original works at any time, of lesser merit it is true, but how much more praiseworthy when compared with "to rent" lot of pictures made especially to travel. Mark it down — Lawrence don't pretend to what it don't have.

The encouragement we received the past season from the best trade for the superior quality, style and make of our Goods, convinces us that the trade requires a better class of CLOTHING than formerly.

While it is our aim to introduce to the trade a superior class of Clothing, we also keep in mind that our prices must be such as to meet with the favor of the trade.
We shall at all times be pleased to have our Goods and Prices compared with those of our competitors.
