SPOTTON, Principal* — ’ Promptness With Which the Tough Waiter Served the Dish Took the Terror’s Nerve Away—The Re­ past and the Final Request. Away back in 187G a man named , Turpin established a restaurant in Yuma, and among Turpin’s original employees was a waiter named Job Straight, who could shoot with great precision, play draw poker with un­ varying success and pack eighteen plates of miscellaneous grub upon one bare arm at one time. He could exe­ cute all the prevailing melodies either on piano or guitar, and he possessed the most tremendous baritone voice ever heard in Arizona. Why, men some­ times -went to Turpin’s just to hear Joe deliver gastronomic orders. No per­ fect description can be given of that voice, however, except to say that at times it really did make things clatter. Once a fresh young cow-boy from near Gila Bend entered Turpin’s for a Christmas dinner who took a startling concoction as an appetizer and then dropped thud-like at a table and rough­ ly shouted to Straight: “Say, there, Baldy! Bring me some grub!” Job was at first appalled; but, recov­ ering his reserve limit of equanimity, he brushed an imaginary breadcrumb from the frescoed tablecloth and whisked a bill of fare from the varie­ gated castor and placed it before the new young terror of the Bend. “Take it away!” cried the latter hi tones that could give Straight’s ordi­ nary, everyday baritone a castle and checkmate it in five moves. “I don’t want to read your darned old tract. I don’t care a darn who came into the world to save sinners. Bring me some grub—g-r-u-b! Grub! Grub! Grub!” “What do you want?” “Rattlesnakes on toast! And I want you to hump yourself!” “What’s that?” "I’ve given my order, you baldheaded old cigar store sign, and I want you to get a move on yourself, p. d. q. Rattle­ snakes on toast!” "Rattlesnakes on toast!” cried Job to the cook in accents that would have paralyzed Carl Formes had that old basso profundo been living and heard them. "Rattlesnakes Oil toast!” was the re­ verberating response from the cook upon receiving the order. There were a dozen or more people in the restaurant, and their eyes were nt once turned on the young person from the Bend and the infuriated waiter. In the meantime the cook had taken a big catfish and cut it into four strips and rolled these strips in batter, so that they much resembled the viand or­ dered, and after placing them in the frying pan he stuck his head out of the kitchen and shouted to Job: "You want them rattlers rare or well done?” The -waiter repeated the interrogatory In a cyclonic way, and the terror re­ plied in as violent a tone and manner as he could command, “Well done, with plenty of gravy and Chili Colorado.” And then Job thundered to the cook: “Well done, with plenty of Chili .Colo­ rado, hot as ----, and moccasin gravy on the side and brochettes of sand crane livers and Gila monster lights!” There was an instantaneously dead silence in that restaurant, and all eyes were again cast upon the terror and the waiter. The former turned ashen pale and began to weaken perceptibly, while Job gazed at his victim. “Maybe you don’t think we can serve all the market affords,” muttered Job. “Maybe you don’t like moccasin gravy or brochettes a la mode. Maybe you ain’t hungry!” "Say! You’ve got me—I ain’t hungry, so help me. I couldn’t eat a single hard boiled egg. Countermand that durned order, old man, and I’ll pay all ex­ penses and set ’em up as long as any­ body can drink. Beg pardon, gentle­ men, all. My first attempt to be a ter­ ror-pardon me, gentlemen. It’s my last!” And then he handed his revolver to Job and added: “Take that pistol, old man, as a present and promise me that the next time any durned fool comes in here and calls for rattlesnakes on toast you’ll shoot him dead?’ But Straight was too raving mad all tl?e way through to willingly emerge from a situation only tolerably tri­ umphant. So he took the weapon just as the order was being placed on the table and, pointing it at the terror, exclaimed: "Now, then, my boy, dump yourself into that chair and eat them snakes— bones, skin and all!” The young fellow did as he was com­ manded, but after finishing his 1 epast staggered the uncompromising Job by shouting: "I say, Baldy, bring mo another plate of snakes!”- Wanted New Ones, A traveler putting up at a fifth class hotel brought the “boots” up with his angry storming. "Want your room changed, What’s the matter, sir?” “The room’s all right,” fumed the guest scorchingly; “it’s the fleas I ob­ ject to, that’s all.” “Mrs. Bloobs,” bawled the “boots” in an uninterested sort of voice, “the gent in No. 6 is satisfied with his room, but he wants the fleas changed.” 11- bistrated Bits.
