These th ugs hap pen In the best regulated families oc casionally. The argument bad grown heated and hud reached tbe point where the wife usually makes up her mind to go home to mother when tbe telephone bell rang, The wife answered the tele- phone, A sweet voice asked over tbe phone: “Are you having trouble?" "Well, of all thing»!’’ snapped the wife in reply. "What if we are? It’s none of your business.” "Oh. yes. it is some of my business. Locating trouble is the ouly thing I do." “Well, you’ve got a nerve,” replied tbe wife. "Tbe Idea of butting into private family matters like that’’— “If you bud re|»orted your trouble to me I would have bad It attended to. One of your neighbors reported it.” "One of the neighbors? Great Scott! Could the neighbors hear it?" "Your neighbor reported it tills morn ing" I "Well. I'd thank my neighbors to at tend to their own affairs. My hus band and I settle our difficulties with out help from them or from you. Who are you anyway?” "I am calling you from tbe trouble department of tbe telephone company.

The real name of YVIId Bill was James Butler Hickok. He was eight een years old when be first saw the west as a fighting man under Jim Lane, finally lu the year 1861 settling down as station agent for the Over land at Rock Creek station, about fifty miles west of Topeka. He was really there as a guard for the horse band, for all that region was full of horse thieves and cutthroats. It was here that occurred bis great est fight, the greatest tight of one man against odds at close range that Is mentioned in any history of any part of the world. Two border outlaws—the McCandless boys—leading a gaug of bad men, In tended to run off wltb the stage com pany's burses. When they found tbut they could not induce Bill to Jolu their number they left him with curses and threats. As they rode away Bill told them to Come and take the horses If they could, and on the afternoon of Dec. 16. 1861, ten of them rode to bln dug- out to do so.
