MARK SMITH SAYS
 BRyAN'S THE MAN
In Strong Letter Delegate Ex- presses Opinion That No
 Other Man Has Chance,

A letter received m Arizona this week from Hon Marcus A. Smith, Arizona's delegate in Washington, says that in his opinion WmL J. Bryan is by far the strongest candi- date the democrats could name at Denver. The letter was written m answer to an inquiry regarding the political situation, as viewed from the national capitol. In the course of his letter, MT. Smih says.
 The political situation, as sized up here, is that Bryan will, beyond all question, be the unanimous nom inee Of our party when the Denver convention adjourns, and I am iii clined to believe he is the strongest man we have for several potent req sons.
 Tn the opinion of Arizona's dele gate Johnson, of Minnesota, is not as strong as Bryan by half million votes. After paying flattering trib- ute to W. J. Bryan as a leader oi rns democratic party, Mir. Smith con cludes his letter as follows:
 We need every vote we can get, and from every standpoint, am con vinced that Bryan is the strongest candidate that we can put up. The best sign of it is the fear the re publicans have of him and the des- perate fight the big guns are max ing to defeat him

HIS FIRST LITERARY EFFORT
Not Likely Among the "Six Best
 SelIers' of That Year.

A party of friends had gathered in the authors house to congratulate him on the success of his new book. They were extravagantly enthusiastic, as friends are apt to be on such oc- casions, and the young author was swelling visibly. The authors mother beamed. Finally one of the guests turned to her. Tell me, did your son show symptoms of literary genius at an early age? presume he did, and you've got some baby effusion treas. ured away" T have the first letter he ever wrote me-" said the mother smiling, and maybe you'd call 1t his first literary effort. He was on 8 visit to his grandmother's and he had never visited her without me before But maybe you'd like to hear the let ter" The guests chorused Yes" eag erly. The mother produced a crum pied envelope and paper and read slowly: Dear Mama-The dogs Ii awful thick here. Your loving son."

Plant Like a Camel.

The nearest thing to camel among plants is a curious specimen of the cucumber family which bears the name Of the Ibercillea soborae, This plant, like the camel, is native of the desert and it has to go without water longer than the animal. As the rainy season in the desert comes only once a year nature provides the l. s. with a reservoir to store up enough moisture to last 1t between times. The organ in which the water Is stored is located at the base of the stem. It is covered with a sort of macintosh envelope, through which the water can neither escape nor evap- crate. This water holder rests on the sand throughout the entire period of drought, but when the rain comes it springs into activity.

Pointer for Husbands.

When you have married your wife, you would think you were got upon a hilltop, and might begin to go down ward by an easy slope. But you have only ended courting to begin mar riage. Falling in love and winning love are often difficult tasks to over bearing and rebellious spirits; but to keep in love is also business of some importance, to which both man and wife must bring kindness and good will. The true love story commences at the altar, when there lies before the married pair 6 most beautiful con test of wisdom and generosity, and a lifelong struggle toward an unattain- able ideal. Unattainable? Aye, surely unattainable, from the very fact that they are two instead of one.-R. L. Stevenson.

Francis J. Heney, who has gained national fame as the prosecutor of the graft cases in San Francisco, spent a number of strenuous years in frontier Arizona following his cx- pulsion from college in 1882 because he challenged another student to gnt duel But though he was a cowboy, an Indian trader, ana a fighter Of Apaches, experiencing all the thrill incident to these occupa- tions, the most exciting chapter of his rough and tumble life came when he killed his man"
 Dr. J. c. Handy, Heney's victim, was the bully of Tucson for yeaIs. His wife had tried for months to get legal help in the divorce suit brought against her by her husband, but each time she got a lawyer to agree to take the case Handy threatened him with death and the lawyer threw up the brief. Heney one day happened to be a witness to Handy's intimidar tion of a lawyer. Boiling over with indignation at the cowardice of Tue sons lights. he resolved to defend Mrs. Handy, and stuck to his resoI-v, too, even when his friends and and begged him to leave the case alone. ...
 During the next year and a half that the case dragged it's length through the courts Heney was sup jected to daily insults by Handy and the two gun men" he hired to ac- company aim snd look after any of Heney's friends who might try ( take part in the inevitable duel to death. The only reason that Heney..s life was not attempted during thi' period was that Handy had sworn he would kill Heney with his ow revolver. and 1t was his hope to pio- yoke Heney into drawing his wea, pon, then taking 1t away from him and kill him.

|BRYAN's INCOME; HOW HE EARNS T.
Says He Makes More Speeches for Nothing Than Ever He
 Is Paid For.

WASHINGTON, D. C., May D. Col. W. J. Bryan on a recent vlsrt to this city in answer to inquiry concerning his income gave out the following formal statement:
 My income is derived mainly from my lecturing, with some addi- tion from articles written for other publications and something from my own paper, but the amount has pveiI very much exaggerated. l make more speeches for nothing than for pay, and devote more time to publfc work than private gain. The in come that have received has come from the people who attend my lectures and who read what wrIle, and, therefore, my obligation is to the whole people, rather than to any special class.
 "The best test of the effect of my income is to be found in the Inungs that I advocate. My views have not changed upon public questions l am contending for the same things now that I did then, and I think no one will deny that I could make more by siding with the corporate interests that I have opposed than 1 nave OuJ OA lCSiAl lhS
 My political prominence has been an advantage in that it has given mo a larger reading circle and a larger audience, but l could have used the prominence in other ways to greater pecuniary advantage. For instance, I was offered s25,000 a year as coun- sel for a corporation, but it would have taken me out of the political field. By. lecturing and writing | Gan make what I need in half the time and I have the rest for public work.
 "The question is not whether. have made more than I did before l was nominated, but whether I have made it in legitimate way, and l think no one will deny that my Iu- come has been derived from a legiti- mate source"

The former sexton had been ar rogant, boisterous and irreverent, To do the wrong thing at the wrong mo- ment was his speciality. He retired at the end of the year by request of the trustees. The new sexton was a colored man, and from the very first gave intense satisfaction. His move ments were as soft as a cats; doors were never slammed, nor did he open windows with a bang.

HENEYS RESIDENCE IN OLD PUEBLO

was a physical giant; Heney weigh ed less than 130 pounds.
 Finally, Handy got his divorce de cree and the custody of the children. Heney prop ptly aIrtfJed. A snort ire after that Handy seized Heney by the throat and crushed him against a wall Heney did not draw his pistol-just then; he did not want the bully to kill him w1In ms own weapon. Instead, he showed his empty hands the doctor, who momentariIy relaxed his grip. Heney, quick to take advantage of this slight opportunity, broke away from his assailant, ran into the street, drew ais revolver and, as Handy reached for his, fired.
 The bullet tore through the giant,s intestines, but he charged on Heney, nevertheless, gripped him as with q wise of steel and swung him around and around in his efforts to get hold of Heney's pistol. Finally, the com batants were separated by the crowd that gathered. Heney was little the worse for the life and death strug- gle Handy walked to his onIcS, was taken home, and died next uAy. The whole town, which had lived for years in mortal terror of Handy, drew the deep breath of ease with him in his grave. As for Heney, his peers gave him the badge of acquit- tai and told h-m that they regretted he had not shot long before.
 In Arizona, where Francis J. Hen ey and his brother Ben are still yiv- idly remembered by the old bearus, Francis especially has the reputa- ton of being an absolutely fearless man, and old Tucsonians will tell you that he took a year and a half of fighting insults from Handy simply because he did not want to prejudice Mrs. Handy's case in the divorce courts and possibly leave her without a lawyer,

VETERAN
IS CRAZY
BUT ANCIENT WITNESS APPEARS
TO TESTIFY WHILE DRUNK
CASE DEFERRED.

Police Surgeon Nathaniel B. Emer-
son was before Police Magistrate Carlos
Long this morning to conduct prosecu-
ton against a veteran of the Hawaiian
revolution, Puamilo, alleged to be in
sane.
Puamilo has before been in the asy-
lum. On this occasion it was requ1r-
ed that an aged gentleman, well-known
here, was to give testimony in regard
to the late actions of Puamilo. The
ancient gentleman appeared in court,
but under the influence of liquor and
the case had to be deferred. The in
fluenced one was so distracted as to
keep his hat on in the presence of the
judge and to offer DR.. Emerson a chew
Of tobacco, something in which the
noted alienist never INDUCES.
What do you want of me?" he ask
ed.
ITO act as Witness" said Dr. Emer-
son.
Great goodness!" exclaimed the
Christmas ceebrant, cant you send
him to the asylum without any help?
You know he's crazy, doctor!'

and oakum deep down in the forepeal
OF the British bark Puritan as she lay
at anchor in President Roads, foul
seamen were suffocated and a nth
was partly overcome before he was

return to the deck after some time
had elapsed. three other men were
sent down to investigate. Finally Cap
tain Chapman. convinced that some
accident must have occurred. ordered
Mate Hatfield and Seamen Robert and
McLane to investigate. AS they reach.

stumbled over the bodies of the fou

burning was so strong that Roberts
was partially overcome and his ship
mates hurriedly assisted him TO the
deck
The fire was quickly extingushed
and the bodies brought to the deck.

were further indications OF a complete
standstill in the police investigation
into the shooting OF Charles B. Rob

six days ago Chief of Police Woodruff
said that w S. G. Williams, OF Balti-
more. husband of the woman who was
with Roberts at the time OF the attack
had been eliminated and it was not be
lieved that Mr. Williams could throw
any light upon the circumstances of
the shooting. The chief further stated
that he believed it would be two weeks
or more before developments might be
expected Roberts continues to i'm
prove. it is said. at the City hospital
and there are strong chances for his
recovery.
Members Of the police force were
willing to discuss the highway robbery
theory practically for the first time
since the night Of the occurrence
They say there is a possibility Of
Tobber having attempted to hold up the
pair in the rolling chair and Of having
lost his head and fred when Roberts
who is said to be Of powerful physique
jumped out of She vehicle and when
the negro pushing the chair went run
ming down the boardwalk for help
The fact that nothing was stolen has
been the mainstay of the police in dis
carding the robbery idea Mrs VIII

which Roberts proposed to offer may
have something to do with the will

although they do not admit the theory
of an attempted hod-up
