POLITICAL SEARCHLlGHT


 Robert, the Insurgent. hero of the new political drama, "Our New Boss, now being produced by the Republi- cans of Cochise county, forgets his lines in the second act. when he Is abopt to put the finishing touches to the mechanical career of Mike. the Ty- rant and thereby hangs . tale.
 M was found when the time for the secukSd act canie rounds that tho ptn factofy of Doc, the piplopat, in the B. I. Aucttoffum, would not aecommo- date the immense fhrong which had bought tickets for the show. and on the promise of the steering committee that no carcasses would be left In the building after the orgie was over, the proprietors of the Pythian Castle were induced to allow the production of the second act in their house.
 Everything went lovely at the be- ginning. Robert, the Iusurgent, ap- peared to be in fne humor after sit ting all over tho obstreperous individ- uals who came from 8 burg named Douglas. and presumed to question the wisdom of the Main Guy in designat- ing Jack, the Bald, as the Lamb who should be Hunted on November 9th. The contention of the chesty ones was that war-scarred chiftain named Rap, the Fletcher. should be allowed to take the part of the "one who got slaughtered when the sanctified came into contact with the unwashed. but the Boss made them sit down and be good.
 Robert, the Insurgent, ordained that In order to show the abject repentance of the erstwhile regulars, Mack, the Meek, should be the first to appear on the boards. He took the part of the Guy W'ot Had Reformed" which would be termed a thinking part Then the Boss allowed the Wise Old Owl to assume the role of "announc- er,' which tickled the ancient bird so l much that he pulled five yards of type written copy from his doublet, and read 10 the audience how surprised he was to be so highly honored.
 Everything went fine. The audi | ence held it's breath-those who had come from a distance to see the show. i as well as those who are allowed to live in the same baliwick with the | Boss.
 Suddenly there was a blare of trum- pets, and immediately afterwards the Hero Himself, Robert, the Insurgent, came to the center of the stage. From this time on he was the whole show. He turned to some fellows on one side of the audience and tears choked his voice while telling them how sorry he | was that he did not have more jobs to give out: he then named his Trusty Charley to take care of the Gaines of Ccchise county. and his faithful subject received the commission to go forth to an ignominious defeat without bat ting an eye. showing the entire sub. jection to the will of his master. For the next forty minutes Robert was or. daining things, and naming the ad- vance guard of the pie-hunters associ- ation. which will try to break into the Court House Grove in Tombstone on November 9th. At the conclu- sion of that time, he turned to the audience and was about to tell them to go home, because he was tired, when voice was heard crying: Ifou forgot to name Q com tmittee of hat-passers, and Mikell get all the stuff"
 The face of the hero became palid. . and it was with difficulty that he held his feet. He trembied all over in ab- ject fear. Then came the voice again: You've got a memory like tack. Didn't I tell you who to name?" Robert staggered; the au dience rushed to the stage, and into the wings to ind the man who dared talk like that to him whom they had considered the Boss. There in the wing they found Bill, the Windy, a no- torious Democrat. who had held ev, erything that they considered sa- cred up to the condemnation and exc cration of the world. Then did those lusty individuals from Douglas form , in bunch, declare the layout run by Robert, the Insurgent, nothing more , than subsidiary wing of the unwash. ed. and take the train for home, VOW. , ing vengeance on him who had repre-
