The man und bls wife, or perhaps it
migbt be more proper these day» to
»»y tbe ludy and ber husband, had
lieen having oue of those cute Uttle
breakfast ruble cbats wherein busband
und wife twit each other about their
relatives and get very personal in
their observations. 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 neighbor reported that there was
something wrong with your phone.”
"For tbe love of Mike!” shrieked the
wife us she dropped the telephone re­
ceiver and nearly fainted away.

favorite notion seemed to lie that be

Englishman lu Ixmdon once tried bard
to get blm to describe und explain

conveniently misunderstood him.
“So you say ’great game’ over

been questioning one of his Intimates

lu the "Story of the Outlaw," by Em­
erson Bough, is a tbrilliug account of
the desperate uml sanguimiry eocouu-
ter against overwhelming odds that
won "Wild Bill” bls name and marked
him as one of the most fearless and
reckless fighting men that ever faced
a mob, drew a gnu or swung a bowie
knife.
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

One That Was Lucky For th» Man
Down In the Mino Shaft.
“Not long ago," said a Leadville min­
ing man, "there occurred one of those
freaks of d.vuamite in one of the deep
shafts of the Carbonate camp that
might uot happen again In a thousand
years.
"Two men at the bottom of a shaft
had put in five four and one-half foot
holes which were to be exploded with
dynamite cartridges 1^5 inches in diam­
eter. As is usual in such cases, they
gave the customary signals to the
hoisting engineer aud after lighting the
fuse stepped ou the bale of the bucket
and started upward. When nl>out ten
feet from the bottom one of the
had an epileptic fit and toppled
Ills partner tried to reach the bell
to stop the bucket, but it was too
The bell cord could be reached
from th«- lower part of the shaft
When the eugineer saw only one man
come through the collar of the shaft at
the surface hki face blanched.
"'Where's Jim?' he asked excitedly.
“Quickly • tin* mluer related tlm cir­
cumstances and exhibited his band,
bloody from contact with the sharp
wit In an effort to reach the bell cord
liefore the bucket entered the tlndier
lug. The men, their hearts beating
wildly, llstem-d In suspense for the live
explosions of dynamite that would tear
their unfortunate comrade to pieces
They beard live faint reports, oue after
the other. They were Blmply the deto­
nating caps of the cartridges. Every
one of the charges of dynamite had

known of one or even three shots out
