THE CLEVER GIRL
She Is Supreme for Time, But in the
End Is Passed By for Her Sister.

| Nearly every girl goes through a wish
| Ing to be clever age: se.,ae unfortunately
| reach it. A gift at repartee seems to af
| feet its subject like betting on the races.
| It would be much better in many cases
| If failure were experienced at the start.
Mere cleverness and the practice OF ii
seems intoxicating, though, and the one
who practices it seldom awakens from
the glamour Of her own artifciality,
which is perhaps a happy thing for her.
| Humor and wit are the spices which
make life worth while, but they are as
utterly different from mere eleverness
as day and night.
| Humor seems round, large, kind, and
! always mirth-provoking. C1everness is
sharp. insinuating. and more sensa-
tional than laughter-loving.
| The clever person is always like
great event. his shadow is cast before
him and he must live up to It He does
seem a necessary adjunct to society.
| Society must be amused. He carries
| talent about with him which society
overworks. Cleverness Is like sin, it
never stands still. The clever person be-
comes dizzy with his own success and
| oyerreaches himself. His so-called wit
nearly always has critical or risque
sting.

clever woman is passed by for the COM

JUSTICE MORRIS
SPEAKS HIS MIND
Criticises McComas for ''Un-
becoming Attempt"
WANTS FRIENDS TO KNOW

Justice Martin F. Morris. whose re-
tirement from the bench Of the District
Court of Appeals will take place next
Saturday, is not permitting his friends
to gather any wrong Impressions in
regard to the motives which impeile1
him to that action.
He wishes them to know that he
reached that determination out of con-
sideratien for the President in the deli
cate position in which the latter was
placed by ex-senator Louis E. McComas
of Maryland, who has now been named
to succeed Justice Morris.
The judge has no hesitancy in assert
ing this as his only reason, rather than
any willingness to play into the hands
of McComas. But when he had TO
choose between aiding the latter in
what he terms the ex-Senators over
anxiety or incommoding the President
by standing upon his rights and refus-
ing to resign, Justice Morris quickly
made his choice to relieve the Presi-
dent of the delicate situation which
McComas, according to the judge, had
r1recjpitated

Criticises McComas.

The selection of McComas was then
adverted to by the judge, in a manner
indicating clearly that the Morris resig-
nation was not sent in for the purpose
OF helping the ex-senator into a snug
berth at the Capital. His words indicated
that he had IN no way modified his view
as to the impropriety of the premature
announcement of his retirement, when
he himself had not authorized the NAM
ing Of the date. On this point the judge
said:
THE over anxiety OF ex-senator Nc
Ccmas to get the appointment consti-
tuted the only annoyance in the situa-
ton In my letter to the President II,

wculd retire upon a certain date, but

Best Ever

The International Bioscope com pany held sway at the Miners Union opera house last evening and drew a large and enthusiastic audi ence The Bioscope people lived up to the advertisements in every sense of the word and gave the best series of moving pictures that has ever been seen in this city. The pictures were free from the usual vibrations which make most moving pictures so trying on the eyes. The views are large size, all clear and per feet; there are no old and worn out pictures on the list.
 Among the ones which attracted especial attention and drew the heartiest applause were scenes from the Russian-Japanese war, the Moonshiners. which pictures were excellent and proved one of the best of the evening. An Adventurous Automobile Trip was very humor- ons and elicited peals of laughter from the audience and hearty ap- plause when the laughable scenes drew to a close.- Pioneer Times, Lead, s.

Quail Now on the Mountain

In the past there has been gen eral understa nding that the altl- tude here is too high for quail, and consequently no hunting for them has been done. Like all rules, how ever, there are sometimes excep- tions. Last Sunday Ed. Hackley was out riding near Little Supai when he ran against a flock of about twenty fine birds and was greatly surprised. On Monday he and Bob Kinser started out to see if they could find them again, and as a result brought in four nice ones. The flock had evidently strayed up from the lower country. So far as we know these are the only quail that have ever been killed near here.

Another "Hunting" Party

Last Saturday F. R. Nellis, Ralph Morrow, Bert and Amos Adams went out into the Martin dam coun- try looking for deer. Amos and Ralph returned Sunday evening, while the mayor and Bert did not come in till Wednesday. They saw a number of deer, they say, but were unable to land them. Guess the altitude worked on their nerves. They say a big buck got up in front of Amos, at which he fired three shots. He then filled his magazine and took four more shots before the deer was able to get out of sight. It is also said that Bert looked hard for deer in front, but not behind. Nellis once ran across Bert's trail and seeing deer tracks in the tracks made by Bert, thought he was lead ing one into camp. Only goes to show that it is a good idea to look back once in a while.

GRAND CANYON
Grand Canyon, Nov. ?, '05.

'i ioiiNt O]ii OA'j -'o'' ~, CI.
 There is plenty of noise and life in camp these fine days. The quiet solitude that we used to enjoy seems to have departed never to return. What with the sound of the car- penters at work. the blasting of the prospectors, quarrymen and log | splitters, the steam engines and the power house, and the stages hurry ing from one point to another with | loads of passengers, it is hard to find quiet moment anywhere. AS noise and excitement are enjoyed by so many, may be it is best that we have so much stir.
 The permanent resident railway employees have at last all moved their tents as requested. For few days this part of the woods resem- bled May-day moving in Chicago or some other great restless city. It may be fun to move tent, and we got all the fun, and grief, too, there was in it. There were not any very choice places to select for the tents, so each mover took that which seemed to serve his purpose best. We cannot inform you as to the street and number of the new locations, but this description may help those who are looking for any of them: Conductor Dearing, Agent Miller and Officer Patterson are all quite near neighbors up on the rocks south of the Hopi house; Engineers Lumsden, Kendall and Kibbey, Bremen Barton and Williams and the watchmen are all near each other along the west leg of the wye; MT. Lumsden still occupies the Platinum company's cottage; Con- ductor Dodge and Brakeman Selvy are in the east curve of the wye.
 Engineer Elkins with a compan- ion went for a hunting trip last week. Instead of game he brought back a good sized ghost story. After trying to solve the mystery for three days, he left it for some one else to investigate. The alleged ghost is in the vicinity of Grand view. MT. Elkins has always been disbeliever in supernatural things, but he now has his doubts aroused.
 A number of residents of the Can yon were called upon by whitecaps a few evenings ago. A chase of them failed to disclose their identity.
 The wedding that Father Bennett of Prescott came to the Canyon to perform did not materialize.
 MT. Ellsworth Kolb has been on the sick list for a week with ton silitis.
 MT. and Mrs. Emory Kolb re- turned last week from their honey moon trip, and have taken up their abode at Cameron's hotel. May they live long and happy life.
 Several of the Canyon residents are attending court at Flagstaff.

NOTES FROM CAMP THREE
November 1, 1905.

ROfetflDeT 1, 1JOo.
 Wm. Powers, map maker of the reserve, passed through last Tues day on his way to Camp No. ?
 Rev. E. G. Decker was a visitor last Tuesday. He liked the camps very much, and was sorry train ac- commodations would not allow him to visit longer than an hour. He signified his willingness to give the boys a short talk if they desired when time would permit. We hope to see him often.
 Miss Jessie Byron came up from Camp No. 1 last Tuesday for short visit.
 As reported in the Host sheet" of last Saturday, Amos Lindstrom is again at the old stand in Camp No. 2. Since his leaving. last January, he has spread the light of socialism in several states.
 'Tis we'll that page was lost. but you will have to ask Orie Smith about Shoots wonderful apples from 3-year-old trees.
 Quite an extensive camp of for estry has been established in the village this week. J. T. Wooleey. of Washington, D. C.. is in charge. His assistants are Assistant Super visor Farmer, Rangers Long, Rood, Powers and srricklin. They are preparing government timber for cutting.
 After many weeks of anxious sus- pense it is now certain this camp will be in Spring valley all winter.
 The cattlemen of this section are preparing to move their stock onto the Grand Canyon forest reserve. They are allowed to enter the first of November this year.

IN REAL SECURITY

Under the caption of "In Fancied Security" the NEWS last week had an article on the subject of county affairs. The fact is now evident that certain officials were resting in "real security" all the time and ev- idently knew it. There is but one way in which to find ont thing, and that is by trying. We'll, we have tried-and failed, evidently. We have always prided ourself on the fact that we had sense enough to know when we were beaten, and are not too proud to own it. It seems we are in that position now.
 In the last two issues of the NEWS we have called the attention of the public to the fact that the report of the public examiner regarding the affairs of Coconino county had been filed in the office of the governor, and that a copy of the same is also now on file in the office of the dis trict attorney of the county. We also published letter from the governor granting permission for us to obtain the report from the attorney, and letter from the at torney refusing the request. We stated last week that we had again written to the governor requesting him to furnish us with a copy o the report, as the attorney had re fused SO to do. His reply has beer received. It covers three type written pages and contains many ideas of which we were already cognizant, ending up with thiI statement: "As said to you in my former letter, I have no objection' to the fullest possible publicity O these reports; but I am satisfied that the district attorney is the bes judge in the first instance of tn propriety of publication"
 Now, good people we are goin| away back and sit down. Evidently a knowledge of the things contained in that report would not be gooe for us. and possibly it is none O our business and none of yours anyway. At least we are not going to find out what it contains. Prob ably it does not concern us in tht least, or, rather, you, who pay the taxes. It only concerns the county officera. May be it will be laic away in a pigeon-hole and forgot ten as soon as it's contents have been learned and mastered by the present office holders, and some day in the dim and distant future a member of the rising generation will discover it, read it carefully and if he happens to be descend ant of one of the men named there III, CoueiSH It to tile udLuSs.
 So far as we are concerned, per- sonally, we shall make no further effort to secure the report for pub lication in the NEWS, but if the public wants it and will go after it by writing the governor in force the NEWS will be ready at any time to assist.
 As matter of fact it looks as ii the whole thing might be summed up as follows: The democratic dis trict attorneys refusal to publish the report is evidently made through a desire for self protection, while that of the republican governor might be for political reasons, this being a republican county.

THE MASQUERADE BALL
Last Monday Evening Was a Big
 Success in Every Way

If you were not at the opera house last Monday evening you missed a show that was worth sec ing, and it was not advertised in faring letters on gaudy posters either. It was a strictly home tal- ent performance, and though a number of imported suits were worn, the prizes awarded for the most ap- propriate costumes were given. one to a lady wearing a homemade suit, while the other went to gen. tleman wearing an imported one.
 By the time the grand march was called the hall was filled to over flowing with spectators and dancers who did not care to mask, and it became necessary for the floor man. ager to request that a number of those who did not intend to dance take seats on the stage in order to make room for the dancers on the floor.
 The music for the occasion was furnished by Miner, Bell and Zauel and to it's strains the large gather ing tripped far into the wee sma' hours.
 While it had been advertised simply as a masquerade ball, noth- ing having been said about it being a fancy dress affair, there were a number of such costumes in evil dence. In fact there were costumes of every conceivable kind and va riety, ranging from colonial days to the present time. There were gentlemen and ladies of the old school, humpty-dumptys, the old woman who lived in a shoe, clowns, big cake-walk coons, fairies, cow punchers in chaps with the regula ton six-shooter, a real Mephisto, sailors, soldiers, policemen, pica- dores, ble dominos, paper costumes, and a down to date bal let dancer. The list was too long to make a detailed mention of each, but they were ali there, even the Turk and the old gentleman, who walked with cane. Even his gray locks did not keep him from enjoy ing a dance with ballet dancer.
 When the time came for unmask- ing, the floor manager announced that the judges, F. w. Smith, O. H. Preysz and Dr. Rounseville, had made their choice and requested the gray haired old man and the charming paper girl, who was sell ing Saturday Evening Posts and wore a closely fitting costume made from the covers of that journal, to step forward and unmask, they be- ing awarded the prizes, and being none other than Arthur Murphy, the dry goods man at Salzman's, and Mrs. George Johnson. For the lady the prize was beautiful pair of vases, and for the gentleman an elegant cigar holder. The choice of the judges was we'll received as was noted by the applause.
 When all nmasked many laugh able incidents took place when peo- pie found out who they had been dancing with. In fact swell time was had, and even a greater and better one is promised at the next mask ball, which will be. held at the same place on the evening of the 29th, Thanksgiving eve. tFt
