THE ACT OF A DIPLOMAT.
Wise Ranchman Averted a War in
the "Hole in the WALL"

Near the Hole-in-the-Wal country
in Wyoming there is peppery old
cattleman whose range is as dear
to him as his life, and from whose
point of view sheepman is pariah.
His nearest neighbor is a strenu-
Gus and belligerent widow who keeps
sheep. In consequence the line be-
tween their two ranches is as clearly
defined as was the dead line at Libby
prison.
Upon one occasion, however, the
widows sheep strayed upon the cat
tleman's range, and the old ranch
ers rage was great He denounced
her as a ''trollop.'
This epithet as applied to herself
came to the ears of the widow, and,
vowing vengeance. she hurried home
to search for the word in her die
tionary. But her dictionary knew
naught of ''trollops," so she sent
away for a larger edition and had
it freighted in.
The new dictionary when it came
was as silent upon the subject Of
"trollops' as the old one, so the wild
ow saddled her horse and rode some
20 miles to consult ranchman whose
educational advantages had been
somewhat superior to those of her
neighbors.
He listened attentively while she
explained the circumstances.
And now" she demanded, what
did he mean? What is a trollop?"
"Trollop, madam" replied he grave
ly, lis very difficult word to define.
It's meaning is subtle and elusive. It's
hard to put into words, but it's rare
compliment Old Man B. has paid
you. In olden days 'trollop' was a
synonymous term for Queen of
Sheba, but as near as we can come
at its meaning nowadays the defini-
tion would be The Sheep Queen Of
Poison Creek"
rs that sol" exclaimed the molli-
fed widow. I've wronged that man.
I'll stop and ask him over for supper

TROLLEY FARES AND SEATS.

Jersey City is doomed to failure in
her effort to enforce an ordinance de-
manding seat for every five-cent
fare. There are enough complaints
against the public service companies
without being unreasonable in the
demands upon them. Neither do we
believe the agitation for three-cent
fare is feasible except in the case of
working men or school children who,
in sense, become regular commut-
Ners. In some parts of our country
tive cents is the smallest changein use
and we believe that the average per-
son anywhere is willing to give a
nickel for a ride to his destination.
II 1t can be shown that street rail
way company is making more money
than is justified by charging five
cents per ride, let them increase the
wages of their employees, give them
better hours, buy their uniforms for
them or something of that sort The
two cents difference between five
cent and three-cent fare is not
needed half as badly by the public in
general as it is by the trolley en-
ployes.
