Away back in 1876 a man name Turpin established a restaurant i Yuma, and among Turpin's originn employees was a waiter named Jo Straight, who could shoot with grea precision, play draw- poker with ut varying success and pack eightee plates of miscellaneous grub upon on bare arrQ at one time. Hle could exc cute all the prevailing melodies eitl er on piano or guitar, and le possess ed the most tremendous bariton voice ever heard in Arizona-wh; men sometimes went to Turpin's jus to hear Job deliver gastronomic o: ders. Once a fresh young cowboy froi near Gila bend enstered1 Turpin's fc a Chrismas dinner, who took a star ling concoction as a appetizer an then dropped thud-like at a table an roughly shouted to Straight: ''Say, there, Baldyli Bring me son grub l'' Job was at first appalled, but, ra covering his reserve limit of equan mity, he brushed an imaginary brea crumb from the frescoed tableelot and whisked a bill of fare from ti variegated castor and placed it b fore the new young Terror of ti Bend. "Take it away!'' eried the latte inI tones that could give Straight's o~ dinary everyday baritone a castle aui checkmate it in five moves. ''I don want to read your darned old trac I domn't care a darn who come int the world to save sinners. Bring ii some grub-g-r-u-b!i Grub!i Grul GRUB!'' ''What do you want?'' ''Rattlesnakes on toast! And want you to hump yourself l'' ''What's that?'' ''I've given my order, you bali headed old eigar store sign, and want you to get a move on yoursel p. d. q. Rattlesnakes on toast!'' ''Rattlesnakes on toast!'' cried J< to the cook, in accents that won] have paralyzed Carl Formes had thi old basso profound been living ar hieard them. ''Rattlesnakes on tost' was til reverberating response from the ec upon receiving The order. There were a dozen or more peep in the restaurant and their eyes we: at once turned on the young perst from the Bend and the infuriate waiter. In the meantime the cook had tal en a big catfish and cut it into foi strips and rolled these strips in ba ter, so that they much resembled ti viands ordered; and, after placir them in the frying pan, he stuck hi head out of the kitchen and shout( to Job: -"'You want them rattlers rare well done?" Tha waiter reatedn. the In+erro tory in a cyclone way, and the Ter -ror r9plied, in as violen.t a tone and i manner as he could command: "Well done, with plenty of gravy and Chili Colorado!" And then Job thundred to the cook. 'Welli, done, With plenty of Chili Colorado, hot as hell, and moccasin gravy .on the side and broachotts of Oand-cane livers and Gila monetei lights!" There was an inatansaneously dead silence in that restaurant, and all - eyes were again cast upon the Teroi and the waiter. The former turned -ashen pale and 'began to weaken per. ceptibly, while Job gazed at hil vic 3 tim untli he began to weaken. "Maybe you don't think we car serve all the market affords," mut tered Job; 'maybe you don't like moccasin gravy or broachetts a la mode-maybe you ain't hungry?'' "'Say I You've got me-I ain't hun gry, so help me God! I couldn't eat a single hard boiled egg. Counter mand that darned order, old man and I'll pay all expenses and set 'en up as long as anybody can drAink. Beg pardon, gentlemen, all. My first at tempt to be a Terror-pardon me gentlemen, it's my last.'' And then he handed his revolver t< Job and added: "Take that pistol, old man, as a present, and promise me that the nex1 time -any darned fool comes in herc and calls for rattlesnakes on toasi a you'll shoot him dead." But Straight was .too raving mad al the way through to willingly emerg( - from a situation only tolerably tri umphant. So he took the weapon f just as the order was being placed o the table,-and, pointing it at the Ter ror, exclaimed: '"Now then, my boy, dump youi snakes-bones, skin and all!" The young fellow did as he wa commanded, but, after finishing hi repast, staggered the uncompromis ing Job by shouling: ''I say, Baldy, bring me anothei plate of snakes." t NAPOLEON THE GREAT.

The LotJewel [Oiginal.J 1 On a vOyage from South Africa to New York wO had aboard a heathen Hindoo who was bringing some fancy chickens over to exhibit at the coming chicken show. He had thqm in coops on deck, where they attacted a great deal of attention. > In one coop were two codks and four hens. and very beautiful birds they :were, There was a cockney Englishman aboard who sported a splendid diamond stud in his shirt bosom which was the envy of ev ery one, especially the women. One fine morning after breakfast, when we were all beginning to get into our steamer chairs on deck for the day, we heard a loud talking between the H1in doo and the cockney. "I'll cut him upl" howled the cock ney. "You'll cut up nothing," retorted the lindoo. "Do you keep the cock for that pur pose?" cried the cockney. "You call me thief?" shrieked the Hindoo. By this time a dozen or more of us had gathered around the coop where the two men were disputing, many of us hopeful that the monotony of the voyage was to be broken by a fight. "It's a bloody swindlel" shouted the cockney. "This leather faced 'eathen 'as these cocks and 'ens trained to pick for valybles. One on 'em 'as nipped my diamond and swallowed it. I was leanin' over the coop, when 'e flung his pIll at it and pulled till 'e got it out o' the settin'." The statement was greeted by a laugh. "You may larf If you like. It's a stone I got myself at the Kimberley mines and worth E1,500. The nasty little cock or 'en as got it ain't worth 5 shillin'." "I no take 50 for any of 'em," the Hindoo retorted. The gambling propensities of people on shipboard are well known. Here ti was an opportuulty for some fun. It U was proposed to f);:1a . 1o001 with 1,500 t chances at a gninea a chaiiee, 1750 to s go to the cockney for his diamond, f250 t to the Ilindoo for his cl:!kens and 500 81 to tCe winner. The ec!kny. having 1 lost his diamond, agreed, but the Hin- 0 doo declared that his siX chleckens were U the delight nf his heart and declined. I He 1inally agreed provided one little Ju hen that was his second self be ex cepted. The cocknoy declared that he t saw that hen when the diamond was taken from him in a corner of the coop V with her bead under her wing. So t eager were we for the sport that we excepted her from the lottery. The' 1 cockney was not sure whether a cock t or a hen had stolen his Jewel, but he C was sure that particular hen had noth- v I ing to do with the theft. c A committee was appointed to make 11 I a plan for the drawing. The cockney t was appeased, for he seemed to have all to gain. The Hindoo had his dia- a mond, and possession was nine points f of the law. The possessor was surly, a declaring that he had counted on these' particular chickens to give him a start in the land presided over by the king r - of birds. He made it a conditibn that the chickens were not to be slaughter- a ed till the eve of our arrival in New g York.a Well, that was the next evening but a one, so we curbed our impatience andk agreed to the terms. Besides, it re E quired some time to place all the chances. When the hour arrived for I killing the first bird I thought the in a doo would have a fit. lHe made as Smuch fuss as if he was to lose a child. -A cock was slaughtered, his insides ex amined, but no diamond. Then the other cock was sacrificed, with no bet-t ter success. The four hens followed, , the Hindoo's lamentations increasing ~ D in arithmetical progression as each of 1 r his pets fell under the ax. When the a last lien's head was chopped off and no diamond found, we all looked at each other in wonder. t The cockney changed front and said tl he must have been mistaken in the hen that had been left out. This started B the Hlndoo again and it looked as if B there would be a fight after all. Some - of our number demanded that the hen r be sacrificed, while others declared tha't a bargain was a bargain. The Hindoo had not consented to the killing of the chicken before he had been paid the price, and the cockney had been treat ed in the same businesslike fashion. Well, the evening before our arrival was pleasant enough as to the skies, but stormy aboard ship. Sonme blamed the cockney for giving two opinions about the little lien, but most of us Sconsidered the Hhindoo a sharper who r had trained the hen to pluck valuables - and purposely kept her out of the lot. , tery. At one time I thought he would .. have been mobbed. One man proposed r to have him up before the courts on arrival for swindling, but the more respectable element preferred to keep dark about the affair. So we landed and nothing was done. 0 One day soon after I was walking In ' i Central park and who should I meet ~ a but the Asiatic and the Briton daw a ling along together. There was no e fght in either of them. Indeed, they were as friendly as two brothers. "How did you get on at the chicken show?" I asked the Hindoo. He looked at me with affected sur prise and turned away. His cornpanion a did the same. "Did you fInd the diamond?" I asked. c "iUWhat diamond?" asked the Briton. t ''The one that wvas swallowed." 1"Ste 'ear, young feller, I've 'eard o' I cl this bunko steerin' that's practiced inC tbis..b.l_pin' togg. at'l.

The good housekeeper never tears te whole house inside out at once. On te contrary, she takes one floor at a me, hwginling at the attle and de !ending, last of all, to the cellar. In io attie, first, the waste paper, old ioes, ol garments and dilapidated )useiold utensils n>ust be cleared at. 'verything for which no good s can Ie found should be destroyed. - is fooli.,h to lot old things that one ever uses accumtulate around. a house. Having got everythinlg out of the at .c tMat enn he removed sweep the cell ig thoroughly, sweep and wipe the ,ails, clean the woodwork and wash ie windows. The easiest and quickest -ay to clean window glass Is as fol ws: Take a pail of lean, warm wa )r and pour into it about a tablespoon il of kerosene, stirring the oil into the rater, Have plenty of clean, soft loths and a good sized soft chamois ?ather. First wash the window with 2o kerosene mixture, then dry It with cloth, polishing flially with the leath. r. This removes all lint. Wash the oor of your attic last, then let it sun nd dry, and it will be ready to have Ls belongings put back in. Next day tackle the bedroom. Take igs, carpets, curtains, draperies and iattresses into the open air and beat lid brush all dust out of them and ive them a gool sunning. While they r-e out clean the rooms as you did the ttlc. To cleanse varnished and oiled 'oodwork andl furniture pour somUt erosene upon01 a soft clean rag and rut ioroughly. The work will be wel' one, and the odor will soon pass away his is the time to examine all bed, teads and the walls to see that no ver, uln are lodged therein. Here, too, the ood housekeeper will find kerosene in, aluable. It -will destroy vermin and ucir eggs if liberally applied. C'arpets may be washed after they re tacked down. Use warmi water in. > which somel liquid ammonia hat een p)oured, a scrubbing brush and lenty of clean dry cloths. F'or the thIrd day of cleaning do the arior, front hail and stairs, after thai to dining room and kitchen and la.tly to cellar. The Con Man's Motto, Be kind to all you chance to meet If you would get enough to eat, Because the chances are that you WUll find a better chance to do Your pal up right, his eyes to blind, By always being sweetly kind. ' Spirit of Prayer. It is Jesus Christ, not science, wh< eaches us to pray. I match the au hority and the example of this mights no, who ever lived in the atmosphere o: rayer, against all the arguments ani eachings and objections of men t< rayer. WVhosoever believes in Jesut 'hrlst must also believe in prayer. 114 the great warrant for it. The Hol~ hpirit, whom ho send(s, becomes thi< l)lrit of prayer by revealing Je-sut :hrist to our hearts and so Iiciting ut o pray. The moment we see God ai e is in Jesus Christ, loving us, carini or us, providing for our redemption alling us in tenderest tones to him elf, promising us help and deliveranci nid every needed grace-that momeni tae spirit of prayer awakens within us ull of encouragement and hope. It ii a natural for us to pray under sue? onditions as it is for a loving child elieving in his father, to go to him foi ormnsel, hlp, comfort and direction f, then, he spirit of prayer is lan aishing within us, if our prayers havt ecome cold and formal, if we pray ou f habit and not from strong desire, il re have lost hope in praying and ro ard it at best as an experiment, It it ,ecause we have lost sight of Jeant 'hi ist. We are not listening to him o1 ogarding his works as true and abid og.--Rev. Dr. 0..J Niocolis, Presbyte Ian, Bt. Louis, Boy Bear Hunter. Milwaukee Sentinel. 'There is a boy in the northern part of the State, J. B. Higgins, aged 15 years, who rivals President Roose velt as a destroyer of bears," said Hugh Regan of Chicago. "On a re cent day the boy left the house with his dog to look up a bunch of cows that had wandered far away from the farm house. Before the young man and his dog had gone a great distance the boy heard a strange noise. The dog grew excited and presently it rushed on to three bears that had taken refuge in a low tree. "The young man had little trouble in bringing them down. The largest of the bears measured five feet from the end of the nose to the end of the tail.'' Why are men so selfish? Because their mothers and wives have made them so by anticipating their wants and waiting upon them. Some Cheap Passenger Rates via Southern Railway. ....
