Der happy lands, where sunshine lay
In golden bi0ts,
InIaid with spots
OF shade and wild forget-me-nots.n
The voice was low, but clear, and
even musical. The professor started
at the strange utterance, looked ex-
tremely confused, and as the bolster
Gus crowd cried 'Hear, hear!'' he mo-
toned the subject to continue, with
which, if audible, would have run thus:
MY God It's an inspirational poem p
''My head was fair
With faxen hair
resumed the subject.
"Yoop-ee!" yelled an irreverent au-
ditor.
"Silence! silence!" commanded the
excited professor in hoarse
whisper; then, turning enthusiast
tically to the subject: "Go on, young
man! Go on! Thy head was fair
with f1axen hair"
my head was fair
With fIaxen hair,
And fragrant breezes, faint and rare,
And, warm with drought
From out the south,
Blew all my curls across my mouth"
The speakers voice, exqufsitely
modulated, yet resonant as the twang
of a harp, now seemed of itself to
draw and hold each listener; while a
certain extravaganza Of gesticulation
Ia fantastic movement of both form
and feature-seemed very near akin
to fascination. And so flowed on the
curious utterance:
"And, cool and sweet,
My naked feet
Found dewy pathways through the
wheat;
And out again
Where, down the lane,
The dust was dimpled with the RAIN"
In the pause following there was a
breathless, almost painful silence. The
poem went on:
"But yesterday
/ I heard the lay
OF summer birds, when I, as the.
With breast and wing,
All quivering
With life and love, could only sing.

"My head was leant
Where, with it, blent

While all the night,
From vale to height,
Was filled with echoes of delight.
land all our dreams
Were lit with CLEANS
OF that lost land of reedy streams,
Along whose brim
Forever swim
Pans lilies, laughing up at him."
And still the inspired singer held rapt
sway.
"It is wonderful p whispered, un-
der my breath.
"Of course it is!' answered my
friend. "But listen; there is more"
"But yesterday!
O blooms of May,
And summer roses-Where away?
o stars above;
And lips of love,
And all the honeyed sweets thereof -

And orchard pass,
And briered lane, and daisied grass
O CLEAN and gloom,
And woodland bloom,
And breezy breaths of all perfume =
''No more for me
Or mine shall be
Thy raptures- in memory
No moreno more
Till through the door
Of glory CLEAN the days of yore."
This was the evident conclusion of
the remarkable utteranee, and the pro-
fessor was impetuously futtering his
hands about the subjects upward
staring eyes, strcF1ng his temples, ana
Stamping his fingers in his face.

WHY PAY CUSTOMS DUTIES?
One Way by Which They Can Be
Evaded, at Least Along the Rio
Grande River.

There are ways Of evading duty
down on the Rio Grande impossible to
the port Of New York. The Mexican
found a way. He was merchant Just
on the other side of the Mexican bor-
der. He had two vases which had
caught the fancy of an American Gus
toner, but they were dear, and with
the duty added-not to be thought of.
The customer told the Mexican so.
The Mexican fell five dollars. But the
price was still too dear. The Mexican
fell again. But still there was the
duty staring the customer in the face.
Then, suddenly, without explaining
how, the Mexican guaranteed that the
vases should be delivered, free Of
duty, on the other side of the Rio
Grande next morning at breakfast
time.
"And," the Mexican added, in
characteristic manner, 81 will be there
to collect
At breakfast next morning, as the
customer was eating leisurely, the
Mexican appeared.
where are the vases?" the Gus
toner inquired.
''In the next room, senor," replied
the Mexican, smiling blandly.
"And the duty?"
"There is no duty, senor."
"How in thunder did you manage
it," asked the American, amazed.
II paid a greaser dollar, senior.
With the vases strapped to his back,
he swan the Rio Grande. See, senor''
-hurrying to bring in a vase from the
next room, and touching it gently with
his fingers they are whole-per-
feet"

ARIZONA

The Arizona is starting the week with a Triangle feature entitled The Deserters," starring Charles Ray, one of the newest recruits to the three sided staff The play is essentially a western one. Ray takes the part of a young army lieutenant stationed in the west, where Indian warfare is the daily diet. The picture is full of thrills, and is said to be out of the ordinary run of western releases. Probably one of the best bits of action business in the play is a scene where Ray and an In dian both on the same horse. plunge over a seventy foot cliff. The Tri- angle people swear that no dummies were used, and that every bit of action is real Ray comes out in fair shape. though he is supposed to die later. The Indian of course is killed. This picture will be at the Arizona Sunday and Monday. in addition to which will be shown a Triangle comedy entitled Laundry Liz," with Fay Tincher in the lead. Tuesday and Wednesday the athletic young man who parades under the cognomen of Douglas Fairbanks will be with Cap Minor in Flirting With Fate" Fairbanks actually had a hand in the making of this picture. This is rather unusual for a movie actor, to say the least. Fairbanks had
