Bryan Nominating Roosevelt.

It is doubtful if any other man in the
United States, other than John Temple
Graves, would seriously and publicly
propose that Mr.. Bryan should nomi-
nate President Roosevelt for a third
term before a democratic national con
yention. To add the worst of taste to
the worst of Judgment, Mr.. Graves
chose a dinner given to Mr.. Bryan on
his birthday at which to make this pro
posal. ltwas fortunate that Mr.. Bryan
had the tact and discretion to pass the
incident off in graceful way.
The truth Of the matter is that Mr.
Roosevelt is not and never viii be a
democrat The fact that he has adopted
several democratic policies is evidence
fhis wisdom, but not of his democracy.
He is really a liberal republican, but
none the less a republican for all that.
Few men have ever occupied the
presidential chair who possessed the
fine political sense that distinguishes
the present occupant, and limo way has
he better shown it than in his theft of
of democratic thunder. The fact that
he was successful in that is no reason
why he should be allowed, indeed en-
couraged, to steal the party itself as
Mr. Graves advocates.
The democratic party willru its race
with its own men and its own leaders.
1t will not go to its arch enemy for
standard bearer. That was tried once
with Horace Greedy, and one trial was
more than a suficiency, 1t is not be-
ieved that Mr.. Graves proposition

hands
Its not very pleasant story for me to tell"
she said looking up at Brandt, but it won't take
long. It's about your mother.
he young man looked at her with much curiosity,
even certain ncredulity; far he knew his
mother had never known anyone who in any
way connected with the stage.
Do you see that large panel photograph over
there on the piano?" said Miss Cawthorne, without
changing her position. mean the very old faded
one, of the girl in the black tights and the close
fitting basque. and the foolish three cornered hat
with the plumes? Well, that's twenty-five
years ago-or more, perhaps. Just think that
taken before you were born!"
Brandt picked up the photograph and carried it
to the light. 1T is indeed very very beautiful
he said.
That was my first great success We played
the piece here in New York for nearly a wear; and
that was a wonderful year for | was Just about
twenty then, and the days never seemed quite long
enough for all the pleasures tried to squeeze into
them. You see, was young, and had health to
spare, and was almost famous in small way.
Then men about town and the boys from college
used to fill the front rows every night and there
always suppers and flowers and big dinners on
as Maize Page is to-day"
Miss Cawthorne stopped and smiled up at Brandt
There was new light in the gray eyes he had
before and the blood had risen to her temples
and darkened the faded cheeks Brandt saw for the
first time the likeness between the girl of the faded
photograph and the present character woman of the
Mogu Company.
Please go on he said.
I'VE stayed in New York almost year and near
the end of the season manager named Hanson
he was friend of mine whom liked very much at
the time-offered to make a star of me- You know
how that appeals to every actress. The difficulty
was to get play that would suit l had some
fine ideas then, and refused to go into musical
comedy which was the only thing 1 really could
do. l insisted it was to be straight drama. So at
last we got hold of comedy through play agent

bad but the company was awful. and was so

Miss Cawthorne looked out of the window until
the glare of the glistening made her turn her
eyes back to the soft light of the and to the
fresh pleasant face of the young man standing in
wonderful" she said slowly, 'but then you see,
am a fairly old woman now, and have great

from what they supposed to mean Some
times they meant to show row of good teeth

how really insncere most stage smiles are. But of
me you are really very devoted; they have even
suggested that you thought of marriage"
The color slowly crept into the young mans face,

ant to be able to give all that hap
piness. Very different from the old
days at Selbyville, l imagine.
The young man nodded. Yes,
very different" he said. ut was
certainly quiet enough there. My
father, you know, was always de-
voted to his flowers and his books,
and until the last his writing was his
greatest amusement Neither he
nor my mother cared very much
about going around with other
people So you can understand
Selbyville was not very gay for me,
and when my mother died there
seemed to be no particular reason
for my staying on"
And so" said Miss Cawthorne,
smiling, and with a certain ornate
manner of the stage, you left the
old home, and, bringing your for
tune with you, came to the great
city, and there you discovered con-
tent on the front row of the Casino
theater, and complete happiness in
the girlish smiles of little Maize

York, and Miss Pages smiles are

Brandt walked to the
table and picked UP his
gloves and hat. " Really,
Miss Cawthorne, l don't
want to be uncivil," he
said, nor unappreciative:
but | can't understand
why you should take such
an interest in Miss Page
and myself"
Miss Cawthorne walked
toward the door, as if in
an attempt to prevent
Brandt leaving the room,
and then turned and held
out her hand toward him.
I'm so sorry" she said
it was SO clumsy of
me! l know that I'm only
a stranger. Please forgive
me-please! 1t wasn't

Brandt nodded gravely.
May l ask you then what
you did want to say?"
i" Why yes" she said.
1t was really nothing

thought might interest
you. Please sit down,

pany, sat with
folded hands at the window of
her room in the theatrical board
ing house, which for many years
she had honored with her patron
age Now and again she glanced
through the stiffly starched lace
curtains and saw AMIDST, deep
in new fallen snow, the trees
heavy with sparkling icicles, and
the air filled with fluttering silver
fakes. Inside a coal fire glowed
on the shallow crate and a single
burning gas jet gave to the room
a certain air of cheerfulness, even
though it brought into sharper
relief the faded pink carpet and
the badly frayed green silk furni-
ture.
As the hands of the nickel
alarm clock on the mantel marked
the hour of three, Miss Cawthorne
unfolded her hands, took the rose
colored knit shawl from her
shoulders, once more glanced out
through the lace curtains, and
then walked to the mirror across
the room. For a moment she
looked steadily into the glass at
the sharply cut features, the faded
coloring, the shadows under the
eyes. and then with the merest
suggestion of a smile glanced
down at her well preserved figure

Ask Removal of District Attorney Of
 COchiSe.

A sensation was sprung in Tomb that the board of supervisors had filed charges against District Alt torney Shelley with Public Examiner Foster, and asked that official to take action looking toward the removal of the prosecuting attorney from office. Shelley stated to a Review repre- sentative that he would contest the matter to the end, so that bitter fight is expected.
 The charges set forth in the letter of the board are of a most sensa- tional character, including drunken ness, disregard of duty, and lack of knowledge of law. According to chapter g of the session laws of given full power to remove from of fee on sufficient proof of any of the above charges.
 The following is copy of the let ter of the supervisors to Foster, and is self-explanatory:
 In the interests of good in the county government, we hereby sub- init for your consideration what we believe is good cause for the removal of our present district attorney, F. w. Shelley.
 First. He is addicted to drink to such an extent as to inCapacitate him for the performance of the duties of the office.
 Second. He has failed to keep his office open as required by law.
 Third. It has been almost an inn possibility to secure his attendance ou the meetings of the board; on the 18th of November he refused to re- main at the evening session of the board when requested to do so by the chairman. In many instances when search was made TOT him he was found in a saloon.
 Fourth. He has failed to advise the board touching its duties in cases where he was fully cognizant of the facts.
 Fifth. He has refused to represent the county in a case before the supreme court involving condemna- tion of property for a public road.
 Sixth. The work of the office has devolved almost entirely upon the as- sistant district attorney, J. F. Ross.
 Finally, it is our opinion that he is unable to perform the duties of the office adequately on account ot lack of knowledge of the law.-Review.

 All of which shows that some things are just as surprising of others when you come to examine them closely, and the first moral of the tale is that it isn't worth while to know anything unless you know some thing else. People cannot realize how great Arizona is as mining re- zion till they see it compared in de- tail this way with other mining re- gions whose greatness all the world acknowledges.
 The second moral. of the tale is that you can't estimate the pulling power of locomotive by the noise of it's whistle.
 Modesty is certainly a lovely virtue, but the world would listen to a good deal more about Arizona than it hears and not be bored, if anybody had the knack to tell her wonderful copper story attractively, without be- ing too awfully noisy abont it. The total cash value of her copper output for 1906, with the gold and silver re- covered as by-products, was S53, 433,- 0I1
