 A Bisbee school teacher, handsome
 of face and charming in manner, dis
 agrees with that Douglas merchant
 who wished to import a lot of New
 England school teachers into the dis
 trict and thus save the schools and
 the bachelors from a drouth of at
 tractiye young women. What the
 county really needs is a trainload of
 interesting young men; men wno
 wear pinchback suits and have style and bearing and who can talk intelli-
 gently on worth while subjects. l
 think the Warren District is dreadful dull and trying"
 Another Bisbee school teacher, equal ly pretty and prepossessing, declared: "Oh, don't care whether they import any more women or men, either. think that Cochise county is a de- lightful place in which to live. I am having lovely time here. The mcun- tains, and the sky and the climate and startling contrast here is SO in. teresting and so new that 1 have ney- CT tired of it at all''
 It is all in the view point Here are two young women, both from the east; both intelligent; both attrac<ve both engaged in the same occupation, and yet as far apart. as the poles in their views, impressions ald ideas. let in common they have the task ot train lg instilling and drilling know ledge into the minds of Young Ameri- ca One feels the necessity ana the desire. for gaiety and excitement, af ter the days occupation is over In the form of dances. parties and harm less little flirtations with men who wear pinchback suits and say nice things about ones eyes. Old timers say that the liveliest times imagine ble used to be had here. But one little school teacher says that they are sure ly a thing of the past. And that bos- pitality in Bisbee exists only in theory This girl is full of life, girlhood incar- nate, craving excitement and music and laughter and warmth, the spring time of youth. And she says that sue finds it sadly lacking here. That she has tried in vain to adapt herself to sL rroundings, so naturally is hot a very happy pers'n.
 On the other hand. a teacher just as young revels in Bisbee, finds the people lovely and friendly and the scarcity of eligible men a blessing She says they are such a small item compared to the climate and the noun tains "Who could possibly consider them in the same breath" she says that an Arizona sunset in all its ra- diance of colors is more wonderful to me than the most attractive man in the world in an English suit, who ev- CT charmed the heart of a damsel away" Dances and parties are terri ble bores to her, she says, and that if they will only let her stay out here year after year that she will gladly become a spinster under the Arizona sky with never a regret. What a con trast to the cold barren coast of Maine, where the people in their cold resemble the granite along their shores, and must know your an cestors for at least three generations, while out here is perfect freedom l from all social formalities. And that ! she thanked the kind fates that sent her to this glorious country as pinch backless" as it might be.
 Now these opposite types living in the same town, meeting the same peo- pie, breathing the same air, find life SO different proves that the world may | be seen through rose colOred glasses or the blackest, black ones. It takes a variety of folks to make up this old world, and giving the best that is in us makes it far from a bed of roses. Natures differ as the night from the | dav- as in this case one temperament 1 demands amusement. the other only | the beauty of the landscape. Who shall say which is right, each fills her niche. And if every one thought the same, got the same pleasures from life, this old world would cease to wag,
 The Douglas merchant should by all means hear at first hand the opinion | lf the Bisbee school ma'am who signs l for men. They could find solace in sympathizing with each other. special services. At 9:45 the Sunday | School will pre5ent a service in which |
