Knew Who Used II.

Charles H Hoyt, New Englands
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 it they have room he is said
TO have occupied at times.
Hoyt came through there once 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 room on the top floor. the
proprietor not knowing who he was.
When ne canfe down stairs later.

have given me must be the one they
gave Benedict Arnold when he came"

THE ACT OF A DIPLOMAT.
Wise Ranchman AverteG War in
the "HoIe in the Wall"

Near the Hole-in-the-WaH country
II Wyoming there is a 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 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
er's 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 larger edition and had
it freighted in
The new dictionary when it came
was as silent upon the subject Of

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
", sis 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 defni-
ton would be The Sheep Queen OF
Poison Creek

fed widow I've wronged that man.

Flame and Wire Gauze,

To Sir Humphry Davy belongs the
credit of discovering that the flame Of
burning gas will not pass through wire
gauze having 784 mesheS to the square
inch. This contention may be tested by
bringing a flame in contact with SINH
lar gauze, when it will be found that
the flame will not go through the
meshes. This is owing to the cooling
action of the wire, which tends to re-
duce the temperature of the flame be-
low the ignition point the unburned gas

Ancient Postal System That Came

The carefully Organized postal sys-

Romans, yet their mail travelled with
considerable speed
The system of angari, or couriers on
horseback, was borrowed from the Per-
slams, who, according to ZenophOn, had
established it under Cyrus the Elder
The Roman adaptation Of it was the
best system of transmitting letters
among the ancient states.
Ali along the great Roman roads
houses were erected at distance OF
five or six miles from each other. At
each OF these stations forty horses
were constantly kept, and by the help
Of relays it was easy to travel a hnn-
bred miles in day.
These services were intended for the
state only, it being imperative to Sc
cure the rapid Interchange Of official
communications. In the time of Julius
Caesar the system was so we'll or
ganized that OF two letters, the great
soldier wrote from Britain TO Cicero at

 'At 11:15 o'clock last night, a work

 and carrying force of twenty-five strike breakers, left the car barns at Twenty-fourth and Utah streets and
 ran down Twenty-fourth street to a switch back at Bryant street When passing the tent of the union pickets at Twenty-foIrth and Potrero streets,
 the non-union men opened fire, direct ing volleys of shots at the tent. In switching back, the car at Bryan. street, half dozen of the men were inadvertently left behind, and the work car started at high speed on Its re- turn to the barn. Police Officers Mill Ter and Bigelow, attracted by the shooting. were joined by Officer Wade, who had been stationed at the barn. The three bluecoats encountered at I point about 100 feet from the barn the car men who were returning cfoot
 We were in full uniform" says Off, cer Wade, "and not more than 150 feet from the strike breakers when we called out to them to halt and not shoot, that we were officers Instead of obeying this command, the men opened fire with revolyers. About fifty shots were fired az us by them, but none of us WIS hit We returned the fire promptly and got five of them. All of the five wounded men had pistols on them when we arrested them"
 Harry Green and John ], Cotter are under arrest charged with assault to murder. Frank Smith, Harry Cohrs, Maurice Risenberg and Roy Perkins are charged with carrying concealed weapons and discharglng firearms with the city limits.
 Officer Wade. when questioned by newspaper men, admitted that the union pickets in the tent at Twenty fourth and Potrero streets, "may have been stoning cans during the day and the evening" but he knew nothing of 1t.
