e "Hlic in the Wall"
Near the Hole-in-the-W Wall country
in Wyoming there is a peppery old
caftleman whose range Is as dear
to him as his life, and from whose
point Of view a 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 al 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
er's rage was great He denounced
her as q "trollop."
This epithet a. applied to herself
came to the ears of the widow, and.
vowipg vengeance, she hurried home
to search for the word in her die
tionary. But her dictionary knew
nausht OF "trollops," 30 she sent
away for q 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, 80 the wild
ow saddled her horse and rode some
20 miles to consult a 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 a very difficult word to define.
Its meaning is subtle and elusive. It's
hard to put into words, but It's a 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-
ton would be The Sheep Queen Of
Poison Creek"
"Is that sol" exclaimed the molli-
fed widow. I've wronged that man.
I'll stop and ask him over for supper
on my way back."-Lippincott's.

Knew Who Used X.

Charles H. Hoyt, New England's
great playwright, once visited a small
town in Pennsylvania, where there is
a hotel they say George Washington.
the father OF his country, used to stop
at when he passed through.
In 1t they have a room he Is said
to have occupied at times.
Hoyt came through there nee with
one of his attractions. He arrived at
the hotel after all the members Of the
company had been assigned rooms.
One Of the company was given the
Washington room, and Hoyt received
a very poor on the top floor, the
proprietor not knowing who he was.
When he came down stairs later,
the gentleman who had got the good
room said: "Mr. Hoyt, they have
given me the room that they used
to give George Washington when he
came here"
WELL" said Hoyt, "the m they
have given me must be the one they
gave Benedict Arnold whom he came"

ROOSEVELT FOR SIMPLE JUSTICE

The def Of the president thrown in
the teeth OF the agitators Of America
will meet with the approval Of every
fair-minded, honorable citizen. 1t does
not matter whether a man is an anarch-
list, socialist, capitalist, plebeian or
what not, his trial In court should be
subject to the same laws as all other
men. There should not be one code of
procedure or ethics for one class and
another for another. Meyer and Hay
wood have been charged with murder
by a sovereign state and 1t is presum-
ed that their trial will be a fair one
II they are guilty, they should be pun
ished. II they are innocent, they should
be acquitted. So far as anyone knows,
thereHis not the slightest disposition
on the part Of the people of Idaho to
treat them in an unfair manner. Sim.
pie justice Is all that is demanded.
Standing upon the ground of a fair
deal for all men. the president has the
sympathy and the support Of the entire
nation, less the anarchists and the ex-
tremists in the socialist party. There
is no man on top Of earth today who
stands more sQuarely upon the plank
of simple justice than President Roose.

Secretary Taft that he
has not given up his trip to the Philip
pines and that he will leave for the
islands about September 1. This is
taken to mean that he will not meet
Senator Foraker in debate in the Buck
eye state. 1t is a little early yet to
make a vigorous campaign for the pres
idency, and there would appear to be
wisdom in the secretary's purpose to
attend strictly to business until the bat
tie gets a little warmer. Shooting at
long range is never very profitable.

The democrats Of the nation, so far
as the committeeman are concerned.
have selected their candidate and Bry-
an is the man. They say, however,
that there is no objection to a southern
democrat, but they are probably not
sincere in this statement. 1t is made
for the purpose of courtesy and in or
der that the southern wing of the party
may not be offended. The platform is
still to be made, but the Nebraska man
will have it fixed before the convention
meets.

It's great to know yourself and have
A pal that's all your own;
To be such company for yourself
You're never left alone.
You'll try to dodge the masses,
And you'll find a crowds a joke,
II you only treat yourself as we'll
AS you treat other folk.
I've made a study of myself,
Compared with me the lot,
And I've finally concluded
I'm the best friend I've got.

And trust yourself with you,
And you'll be surprised how well your

Elmer A. Adams, member Of the

introduced a bill in the house ap-
propriating 81, 500, 900 for q ''semi-
Centennial Bridge Fund to common
crate the ifteth anniversary of the
admission of the State OF Min

schemes havebeen proposed for cele-

the principal one being the holding
of a six weeks exposition at the
State Fair grounds for which a
strong lobby is at work to have the
legislature appropriate $1,000, 900.

proposes is certainly the most prac-

Chicago, Feb. 25.-The reported rob-

large sum of money has been officially
confirmed. When interviewed in re-
gard to the robbery Sub-Treasurer
Boldenweck admitted that a theft of
$4,000 had been perpetrated, but re-
fused to 60 into details.
1T is true that what I and other
government officials believe to be a
gigantic steal has been perpetrated In
the sub-treasury," he said. "The
amount, believe, will be $4,000.
At present I cannot 60 into details as
to what work we have done in the
case or what method of procedure
Chief Wilkie, Captain Porter and
their men will pursue. We discovered
tho shortage last Wednesday, when
the books Of the sub-treasury were

the closing act in the long and IN
happy controversy over the location
of the county seat, contest
that has continued for more thar
twenty years and has fostered and
kept alive a feeling which has done
much to create dissention and strife
and to cause a misunderstanding of

portion Of the peple of the county

to prevent the unity of action and
purpose which is necessary if we
