"THE ARIZONA KICKER." Oi'R Way. Now that there is every likelihood of our being nominated for State Senator certain persons aro wondering if we are going to let go the Mayoralty. In the language of Cicero, not much. We learned long ago that in climbing a ladder a man should not let go with one hand until he gets a firm grip with the other. And we may go further than that and announce our intention of hanging on to what we have and getting whatever else we can.

We fondly believe that we have tho brains to serve ns, as editor, Mayor and Senator at the same time, and we'd be willing to take the i'ostmastcrship on top of the heap. If a man strikes the right sort of gait out here he finds it a great country to develop his brain power. We've developed. We not only want office, but the people wiitd to have it, and under such conditions we see no reason wdiy we shouldn't be called "Governor" three or four years hence. We know plenty of editors who claim to be modest and retiring, and who urge that they have no time to servo the public in an official capacity.

We don't belong to that class. If there is anything good floating around we want it, and modesty wont stand in ttio way of our getting it. We've also got lots of time at our disposal, and our fellow countrymen can't heap any more honors on us than we can take care of. A House on Us. The editor of the Kicker (who is ourself) is no relic of tho drift period.

"I am plait you like to spend your evenings at home," she replied. "Yes, this is nice!" musingly continued Mr. Bowser as he spread out his feet and rubbed his hands, "I feel in the mood for a regular old fashioned visit to niglit. Husband and wife should never grow old to each other. I think WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?" thev ought to sit down now and then anil sort of renew their courtship." "I think so, too, ami I know it would he better for both." "I was reading an article in a newspaper the other day which said that a honeymoon founded on love should never end.

I think ours was founded on love." "Tes," replied Mrs. Bowser, "I think it was. Doa't you remember how you used to say you would willingly jump over Niagara Falls for me? During the last three months of "Do you mean to say that I ever made use of any such tomfool expression as that?" demanded Mr. Bowser, suddenly roused to a state of activity. "Certainly, dear.

For the last three months of our courtship you came'over to the house three times a day, and you said "Mrs. Bowser, what are yon talking about he shouted as he rose up with a beautiful blush on his cheeks. "I might have called two or three times a week in answer to your urgent requests, but don't try to make out that I had no more sense than a pumpkin!" "1 remember one evening in particular," she siiid, as if to herself. "There was a full moon, and the sky was without cloud. We sat on the piazza, and you insisted on holding my hand." "Not much, Mrs.

Bowser! It's a heap more likely that you wanted me to hold it Yes, 1 remember now you put up a job so that I was obliged to hold it "As yon were holding my hand you wondered if there were lovers in "the moon, and you said that I was the silvery orb to light your pathway through the years to come." "Silvery nonsense! Lovers in the moon! Are you trying to make out that I didn't know enough to get under a wagon shed when it rained? It was a put up job on me all the way through, and you ought to be glad to 'keep still about it!" "Another evening," 6ho went on, never minding him, "we were strolling in the garden. You had been quiet for a long, long time. I asked you what you were thinking of, and you put vour arm around me and said you realized how unworthy you were, lint yon would make every effort to render my life happy. I saw tears in your eyes." "Mrs. Bowser, are you talking to me?" he demanded as he bobbed up again.

"Certainly, dear." "And you mean to say that I passed any such remark as that?" "Of course." "Never! Never! Never! Unworthy of voul The idea! Tears in my eyes I You'd better consult a doctor about the top of yonr head Like other young men under similar circumstances, I might have been a little flat, but I never acted tho part of an idiot Speaking about honeymoons," said Mrs. Bowser, as she looked into vacancy, "don't you remember, the evening mother came out on the piazza and found you kneeling at my feet?" Never! Never! I'd have seen yon and all your relations in Texas before I'd have mado such a fool of myself!" It was the night that old Mr. Pritch ard's horse backed off the bridge and killed him." I never heard of old Mr. Pritchard or old Mr. Pritchard 's old horse or old bridge!" It was about an hour before wo got word ot the accident," quietly continued Mrs, Bowser, "Wo sat on the piazza listening to the whippoorwills.

You kept sighing. By and by yon knelt at my feet, took one of my hands in both of" yours and said that our honeymoon should last forever. When mother came out and caught you, you pretended to be looking all around for a lost nickel. Don't you remember?" "Mrs. IMS Bowser 1" gasped Mr.

Bow ser, I sat down here to spend a pleasant evening!" "Yti dear." In the bosom of my family!" "Yes." I felt a tenderness for you, but but It was so good of you." "But you have maligned and insulted me, and turned this room into a regular barroom! Yon have called me a fool, an idiot, a cabbage head and an ass I Y'ou have made out that I didn't know putty from strawberries! I now see bow it comes about that husbands are driven from home, and how they become villains and criminals! This is my last evening at home! Tomorrow night "Why, Mr. Bowser, we were talking about love ami calling up old recollections."

AVCLFFSOIIN KK, I.1. lm WE COMH.IEP. contemporary is cackling and the boys around town grinning over our little adventure last Saturday night, but we fail to where we made a fool of ourself. At 8 o'clock we left our office to call at the abode of Widow Spooner.

We may as well admit that we aro sparking the widow with a view to matrimony, and have reached the head of her procession of admirers. In i changing our clothes we forgot our gun, and were just half way through the cut at Murray Hill when somebody jumped out of tiio darkness and ordered us to throw up i our hands. WTe complied. We didn't wait to discover the source of the Mississippi Kiver or figure on tho popular vote for the Presidency, but up went our hands then and there. We recognized tho voice as a baritone belonging to French Joe, the cowboy, and we also had the advantage of knowing that Joseph always shoots plumb center and without wasting valuable time.

We think our seeming desiro not to detain Joseph longer than necessary counted in our favor. As mayor of the town we have driven him into tho suburbs on four or five different occasions. Once wo raked his head with a bullet, and once we split his left ear. Naturally enough he sighed for revenge. When Joseph saw that he had the drop on us ho ejected saliva on our Chicago plug hat, Later on, for his especial amusement, we knelt down and sang a song.

When he ordered us to eat grass wo felt that we were lucky in not having to eat sand. It is no use in denying that Joseph toyed with us and had heaps of fun at our expense. lie is a humorous cuss and did a great deal of laughing. Ho wanted an excuse to bore haif a dozen holes in our anatomy, but we didn't furnish him one. He kept us pretty busy for about an hour and then gave us a vacation.

It is needless to say that we accepted his kind offer mid put a mile between us as speedily as possible. There may bo something to laugh at, but we don't see it. When a man gets the drop on us that ends it for tho time being. W7e propose to do all the crawling ho demands. Joseph had ns dead to rights, and we feel that we did tho right thing in the right place.

It will be our turn next, however, attending to our duties as mayor and looking for Joseph at the same time. We shall find him within a few days. We are no sport, but we've got $200 to wager, even up, that we plant French Joe in our private grave vard within the next 10 days, unless he dies of heart failure or leaves the country. M.
