The Man Who
Blushed

In announcing in a very impressive
manner 70 all applicants that she KEEP.
a fashionable boarding house Mrs
Barnes did not exactly mean that merr.

mulumiilionairps fell over each other
40 DO numbered among bee guests. She
meant that It was a homelike place for
sfen0gruphers, typcwriters, bank clerks
and foorwalkers Of department stores
to take advantage Of. but they must at
the same time realize to the fullest ex-
tent the privileges permitted them.
These privileges. 80 far as any ever
discovered. consisted Of a latchkey
md q piano. Any bonrder who dared
do so could also take a seat IN the par
nor or an evening. He or she could also
use the gas until midnight and enjoy
one clean towel per day.
The girl with the golden hair, as they
called Miss Bierce. the stenographer.
had becn az this fashionable boarding
house a week. when "Grcenbachs." az
they called the bank clerk. arrived.
His name. as giveu 10 the others at
the dinner table by Mrs. Barnes, was
Tiliman.
The s~tenogrOpher and the bank clerk
had had two days to size each other UP

looks ut Mr.. Tillmnn the stenOgrapner
discovered that he was a young TAI OF
weak character and easily tempted.
The shnpe OF his forehead told her that
he would not be honest under great
temptation.
Miss Dorothy DelamRT, the actress.
whose real name was Catbarine Briggs,
had no f0ds. All abe wanted was to
climb to the top OF her profession. As

tout three weeks, she felt that she was
getting along and that 1t needed ouly
10 sudden jar to make her a public fa-
Vorite and bring u dozen managers Ia
autos to the house.
She was planning how best to bring
about thnt jar when she arrived. Miss
lDelamar was Il hustler. She had hus-
tied around aud provided herself With

earrings aud q 6unburst out Of the

DeIHmar corrected her by making the

IN the house she wore the whole oUtGt.
One morning. the actress appeared In

Some one had entered her rnom and
stolen her bag OF diamonds. While ey-

While she was engaged IA this tho

ADJUSTMENTS

Four acts of convulsive merriment
 and everybody pleased was the result
 of the performance last night of King Of Tramps" at the Doris opera house
 The cast headed by Victor Faust as "Philander Ticklepickle" was composed of all star speciality artists. who pos sessed more than the average histri
 onic ability. Laugh followed laugh in such quick succession that it was i'm possible to tell where one joke left off and another began. The plot was new
 and easily traceable. and best of all, the jokes were new and of the sure fire" order and the vaudeville numbers throughout the entire play were as bright and snappy as a bunch of fresh firecrackers, quite different from the usual tramp" show. Victor Faust is certainly king of tramps" and the show is king of all tramp shows which have played through this section of the country. His methods are his own and as meritorious as they are incOmpar- able. In his musical act he won many encores and his singing and dancing were decided hit. Bertie Allen was as vivacious as she was pretty and as clever as she was well dressed. Her specialties. whether alone or when as- sisted by Leon Allen, captured the en- tire audience The wooden shoe danc- ing of the Bridges and the "Tin Wood man" dance were excellent features. The band and orchestra were first class. The company. owing to wash outs. has an open date to fill tonight. By special arrangement with Manager Berger the company will give a vaude- vile performance tonight at the Doris opera house. The specialties will be entirely new, every song and joke be- ing changed. Some of the numbers on the program will be Leon and Bertie Allen, Victor Faust in a new musical act, the clever Bridges in a singing and dancing act. H. C. Turner in an up to date monologue and the finale will be the Imaginable vaudeville success, Strings and Springs" The people of this city will have an oppor- tunity of witnessing clean. high class vaudeville such as is seen on the best circuits. but which does not often come to Phoenix. The prices will be cut to 25c, 35c and soc and the house should be packed from pit to dome.

let by contract the work Of sinking a shaft on the Vigilant mine to Dan Han ley and already the shaft is down fif teen or twenty feet. Some ore is com . ing in the shaft, but its value is un- known.
 J. NJ. Farley came in from the Road side mines Thursday last and reports that a large reservoir is being graded out by the San Diego mining company for the storage of water for domestic and other uses. spring near the property has been opened up and d large supply of water found.
 James DundOn. of Cerbat, was in Kingman Thursday last after supplies MT. Dundon is working a mining prop erty on the point near the entrance of Cerbat wash and is getting some splen- did ose from it. Specimens of the ore fairly glisten with free gold. The streak is said to be of good size and the chances for a big ore body are good. A drift is being driven on the vein which will open the ore body to a good depth.
 A fine body of ore has been found on the Cupel ground. at Stockton Hill. A shaft is being sunk on the ore body. which is found to increase in width as depth is gained. This ore runs high in lead, although low values in silver are found The Cupel was one of the largest producers of lead and silver ore In the county in the days before the white metal took the big slump. It has great bodies of ore still in the old stopes. which could be milled to ad- vantage.
 The machinery for the mill to be erected on the Tibucio mine (formerly the Berkely) is being fast assembled at the property. but it is expected the big storm of yesterday will retard the work greatly. The mill is to have twenty-five tons daily capacity. being fitted with Cornish rolls and standard concentrations A big tonnage of ore Is on the dumps and as soon as the water is pumped from the mine the reserves in the old stopes will be broken down and milled. The mine is one of the best In the Cedar country and ought to become a big producer.
 w. A. Neal came up from the Park CT country this week. having taken a mining expert to see his copper mines near that place. The expert has ar ranged to take over the property and It Is reported has made a payment to be followed later by other payments Interested with Mir. Neal in the prop erty is John Bomhoff, of Kingman.

It is working very satisfac- torily. accomplishing more than was expected of it. which is a very unusual sort of a surprise.

!hE GREATER SAFETY
 OF R. P. 0. CLERKS

| Washington, D. C., December l. Especial Correspondence to The Re- publican). - Advices received from | Canada indicate that the railway postal clerks of our neighbor on the north have about the same troubles that those of the United States have. A postal clerk here has received a copy of the | Winnepeg Tribune, of September I5. 1906. containing an editorial which he says might apply in this country just as well as in Canada. were Washing ton substituted for Ottawa. The edi- | torial says:
 ''The frequency of railway accidents of late again calls attention to the duty of the government to provide proper protection for the mails and mail clerks.
 ''The mail cars are now almost in variably placed in the most dangerous parts of the trains. They are frequent | ly the first cars of the train proper that is to say, they are attracted to the tenders of the locomotives.
 This. though it may not be general ly known. is a much more dangerous position than that occupied by the en- | gineers and firemen. The latter can see approaching danger and usually avoid it. The mail clerks. shut up in the mail car, can see nothing outside They can be dashed into eternity with out a seconds warning.
 Why should these men be compelled to occupy such a position of danger? The government pays for the trans portation-yet the railway companies ! he. fraa tramps. Tramps are put off. and their lives thus saved. The mail clerk is stuck into a place of greatest danger to act as a sort of buffer between the engine and the passengers.
 For this the railways are not en- tirely to blame. If the government de- clines to demand proper protection for its employees it is but natural that the companies should put those government employees in the most exposed anl dangerous part of the train-that the passengers who would not tolerate such treatment may be protected.
 If any man deserves the best or protection that man is the mail clerk. He has to travel constantly. He is not an employee of the railway. He is a passenger on the jump from one end of his run to the other-and with nei- ther time nor opportunity to protect | himself.
 It is shameful that the government should leave its employees to the ten der mercies of the most dangerous chance. Pressure has been brought to hear at ottawa to have this wrong eorrected-so far without result. That

There are only three claims in the group. the surface acreage covering about 60 acres. but the property is considered one of the best prospects in the southwest.

The frost Is on the pumpkin,
 And the pumpkins in the pic And the pie is in the boarder
 And he heaves a sickning sigh: For he has just discovered,
 As in the night he wakes. That they're not like the pumpkin pies
 That dear old mother makes.
 Willie was fine. Had he been younger 1t would never have occurred to him to reflect upon matters of a religious nature; had he been older he would have known better and his father James Anthony Wayne, would today be held in the high esteem by the citi- zens of the little village as had been his good fortune for the past ten years. But alasi his erstwhile friends now eschewed his society and in the columns of the Evening Leader he had bitterly arrainged in lengthy article in which he had been frequently referred to as the "arch hypocrite who hides behind the cloak of religion to practice his nefarious work"
 It all happened on Thanksgiving day. Reverened Brown had been invited and, naturally. Rev Brown had graci ously accepted the very kind invitation of his distinguished deacon to dine with him on that festive occasion and ac- cordingly. at the appointed hour. &C., companied by his wife. arrived at the Anthony Wayne homestead.
 Willie had been looking forward with fond expectation to this event. Early that morning he had undergone thorough and severe scrubbing at the hands of his mother Ca procedure all small boys heartily enjoy) after which he was given some instructions in the matter of etiquette.
 He had been carefully instructed to remain perfectly quiet throughout the meal, only speaking when spoken to and above all things not to forget to say ives sir and "yes'm." He was further Cautioned not to eat with his fingers and to refrain from asking for the second piece of pie, as was his usual custom.
 After much "fussing" and "stewing" and borrowing from neighbors. Mrs. Wayne finally appeared at the parlor door and announced that dinner was ready and they immediately proceeded to the dining room.
 Willie was seated in a high chair next to his mother. his eyes bulging, viewing with admiration the bounteous repast which was spread upon the ta- ble.
 Reverened Brown cleared his throat, bowed his read. as did the others at the table. and the "blessing' was ask ed. After he had finished. his eyes wandered about the table and he dis covered Willie gazing with admiration upon his father who was busily en- gagged carving the turkey.
 There being alull in the conversa- ton at that moment he sought to get things started off by addressing Willie
 William. would you like to be big man like your papa, so that you could carve a turkey?" he inquired in that beautiful. tender voice he always used when addressing children.
 You bet I wOuld'' was the quick re- sponse from Willie.
 Tt was awfully kind of God to give your father this turkey, wasn't it?" the reverened continued.
 Huh" replied Willie indignantly, God didn't give this turkey to papa. When he brought 1t home I heard him tell mamma that he won it shaking dice with Bin Baldwin"
