The ambition of such men as Lick of San Jose and Yerkes of Chicago, seems to ameliorate the severe judgment of mankind respecting the holders of the wealth of the world, and even to transform them from their popular character of enemies and misers into philanthropists and benefactors. This century has been conspicuous above all centuries for new things.
Then again, on September 28, 1897, the Yerkes 40-inch disclosed it to him as a mere shimmer at the last limit of visibility; and it came out in three diffuse patches on plates to which, on December 6 and 27, 1899, Keeler gave prolonged exposures with the Crossley reflector.
"What they'll do" a jerk of his thumb towards the rest of the train in front "can't say." "Of course we shall have to give them food!" cried Lady Merton, delighted at the thought of getting rid of some of their superfluities. Yerkes showed a stolid face. "The C.P.R.'ll have to feed 'em must. That's the regulation. Accident free meals. That hasn't nothing to do with me.
In his argument he said: "Here you have your schools, your Centre College, your Theological Seminary, your churches. Every third man you meet on the streets is a minister of the Gospel, and the others are all teachers in the Sunday school. Here you have your great preachers, Young, Green, Humphreys, Yerkes, Robertson, Breckenridge in fact, Presbyterianism to your hearts' content in the very air.
While the others were going through the splendid stables and cowsheds, kept like a queen's parlour, he and the pretty girl were playing at bob-cherry in the saloon, to the scandal of Yerkes, who, with the honour of the car and the C.P.R. and Canada itself on his shoulders, could not bear that any of his charges should shuffle out of the main item in the official programme.
Among others whom I remember as living in Tucson or near neighborhood in 1866 were: Henry Glassman, Tom Yerkes, Lord & Williams, Pete Kitchen, Tongue, The Kelsey boys, Sandy McClatchy, Green Rusk, Frank Hodge, Alex. Levin, Bob Crandall, Wheat, Smith Turner, "Old" Pike. Glassman lived most of the time at Tubac. Yerkes owned the Settlers Store in Tubac.
They'll have to divert the line. I tell 'em so, scores of times. She was at this game last year. Held me up twenty-one hours last fall." When Yerkes was travelling he spoke in a representative capacity. He was the line. "How many trains ahead of us are there? Yerkes?" "Two as I know on may be more." "And behind?" "Three or four, my lady." "And how long are we likely to be kept?" "Can't say.
To the left of the line there was a misty glimpse of water over a foreground of charred stumps. On the other side rose a bank of scrubby wood, broken by a patch of clearing, which held a rude log-cabin. What was she to do with Philip all day? Suddenly a cow appeared on the patch of grass round the log hut. With a sound of jubilation, Yerkes threw down his dusting brush and rushed out of the car.
Yerkes, in the whirr of the machine, doubtless mistook the voice for that of the boy, for he paid no attention to it. "Help! Help!" roared Collins. "Stop the machine! He's got me tied down! Stop it, you fool! Stop it!" Yerkes and the Indian looked stolidly on with grins on their faces, and Ned stuck an elbow into Collins' ribs.
"Smells good, Yerkes!" said Gaddesden as he passed. The cook nodded. "If only her ladyship'll find something she likes," he said, not without a slight tone of reproach. "You hear that, Elizabeth?" said her brother as they sat down to the well-spread board. Elizabeth looked plaintive.
