the Great Bears latest antics
Driven by his thirst for knowledge
the professor entered the Constant to
acquire knowledge from the Genius of
the Piano.
This saloon was typical of Yuma. A
long bar on one side, presided over by
a very young gentleman, who, though
not out of the twenties. had acquired
a gift of strange speech which stag
gered the professor.
The bar was ornate with paper roses
OF brilliant hue and paper palms which
defied dust, heat and flies.
On the opposite side of the room
faro, craps, roulette, and Indians,
Mexicans and Americans fought their
way to stake their earnings. The
faro table was the most literally pat

The dealer was a tall. thin, cadav-
erous gentleman with mournful cast
OF countenance, whisp of white lawn
for a necktie and long, seedy black
coat of clerical cut.
The banker was a spare Chinese with
face as expression1ess as a nutmeg
and long, thin hands which reminded
one strongly of an eagles claw. The
lookout, who sat on a dais above the
table. rocked his chair and hummed

:. What the Professor Leaned in Yuma
BY John Hamilton GiI17our

~ ROFESSOR BARKIN was a scien
ktifc gentleman with variety Of
accomplishments. He had spent
- fifty years of his life gazing at
the stars and the sun and the moon
through big telescope, and he had be-
come so absorbed with the movements
of the heavenly bodies that he had had
no time to observe the antics of the
human race
Now the Prof as he was irrever-
entity called, believed in the efficacy of
pen and ink as a medium for dissent
mating his views on astronomy. In
cidentally the Prof" was ready to tell
an anxious world about other things
such as the action of water on rocks
and on soil subdrainage, irrigation,
dam building and other engineering
feats These observations he was
ready to embalm in a thousand diff
ferent languages.
1t was also pointed out to the pro-
lessor that at Yuma he could carry
on line of special investigation, for
in that exuberant climate fiourished a
race entirely distinct from any other
race that inhabited the great North
American continent where the people
were so civilized that SO long as a
Chinese gambled and drank he was
looked upon as an equaI,~b but when
the benighted heather lived sober
and an industrious life he was at once
set down as a danger to the white
race.
1t was also limited to the professor
that there rose nightly at Yuma new
and variant star. A star which sang
and drank up the midnight dews and
which had worshipping at its shrines
some Of the greatest sons of Yuma.
These stars leveled all ranks. White
men and yellow men, Indians and
Mexicans, bowed before its beauty
Now the professor had seen and
heard of stars all his days, and this
tempted him to pack his grip with
some newer books on starology and
leave for Yuma.

view Melrose you should see it by the

the piano in insistent, compelling tones.
The professors blue. eyes were water
ing. Here were men throwing money
away in games of chance, money which
could be better employed in the cause
of science, and he went over to the
piano to hear about the latest pranks
of the Great Bear
'Hulloa, honey boy" chirruped the
lady.
The professor started
He almost dropped off the chair
Once, years ago, he had been called
Honey but. alas that lady did not
play the piano In saloon, and through
the mist in his eyes the professor saw
the ghost of the woman of the dead
long ago.
This one was dressed in white. her
hair came low on her shapely neck, a
little gold chain encircled her throat
and her voice was sweet and low when
she spoke to the old man.
Now, boys" she said. leave the
parson alone. He does not make a

SOM
II am told observed the professor
that you have some lore on the stars
Won't you tell me?" he pleaded gently
What stuff's the gang been giving
your she cried. Lord, parson, know
nothing.
I'll tell you what they means. You
see. Arizona is great on education
There ain't State in the Union which
goes in more for teaching. Well. you
see, parson, each of these tables paws
$40 month tax for education. and the
saloon has to pay about $500 a month
besides Sc for the piano. Now, this
s206 goes all to education. and you
don't mean to tell me that amt right?'
But" retorted the professor. this
is getting your education through
drink and through gambling"
well, what's the odds as long as
the kids get the learning?' cried the
girl
And then the professor heard a voice
from the farther end of the room say
Look here, this amt no Sunday
school. gent that don't buy liquor
Is no gent. He amt worth feeding to
hogs-and then the professor stole
away.

MONTGONERYISNIS:

Evangelist Montgomery has
few equals as a maker of epi-
grams. The following were
picked from two or three OF his
sermons by an Appeal man:
Religion is something more
than a fire escape.
Some men would cross hell on
a rotten rail for a dollar.
Men are either going from good
to better or from bad to worse.
Much bad living is due to bad
thinking on the subject of sin.
Men are not saved from sin
until they are saved from the
love of sin.
