Away back in 1870 a man named Turpiu established a restaurant in Yuma, and among Turpln's original employees was a waiter named Job Straight, who could shoot with great precision, play draw poker with un varying success and pack eighteeu 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 Turpln'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 cowboy from near Cila Bend entered Turptu's for u Christmas dinner who took a startling concoction as an appetizer and then dropped thud-like at a table and rough ly shouted to Straight: "Sav, there, Baldy! Bring me some grub!" Job was at first appalled; but, recov ering bis reserve limit of equanimity, he brushed an imaginary breadcrumb from the frescoed tablecloth aud 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 in tones that foil Id 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. 1 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, aud I want you to get a move 011 yourself, p. d. q. Rattle snakes 011 toast!" "Rattlesnakes on toast!" cried Job to the cook In accents that would have paralyzed Carl Formes had that old basso profuudo been living and heard them. "Rattlesnakes on 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 at once turned on the young person from the Bend and the Infuriated waiter. 111 the meantime the cook had taken a big catfish aud 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 aud 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 a« violent a tone nnd manner as lie could comm. ind. "Well done, with plenty of gravy aM f'hlM Colorado." And then Job thundered to the cook: "Well done, with plenty of Ohili Colo rado, hot as , aud moccasin gravy ou 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 artd beg.in 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—l ain't hungry, so help me. 1 couldn't eat a single hard b ileil egg. Countermand that durned order, old man, aud I'll pay all ex penses and set 'em up as loug as any body can drink. Beg ptmlou, gentle men, all. My first attempt to be a ter ror—pardon me, gentlemen. It's my last!" And then lie handed his revolver to Job and added: "Take that pistol, old man, as a preseut 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 the 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 aud eat them snakes bones. skiu and all!" The young fellow did as he was com manded, but after finishing his repast staggered the uncompromising Job by shouting: "I say, Baldy, bring me another plate of snakes!"— Denver News.
