IL TOO ARGUMENTATIVE. Two are not always company, in spite of the proverb to that effect. On the Western plains the sheepman goes out with several thousand head and one human companion. The natural result is that the pair, forced on one another when they least want it, get to hating cach other. This, at least, is the theory that a writer in the Philadelphia Ledger formulates, He tells this story, which was narrated by an ex-sheepman: Let me tell you of a fellow I once rode with. We had finished supper one night, and were rolled up in our blankets. for more than a week “Hear that cow beller? he asked, suddenly. “Sounds to me like a bull,” [ said.

It is bounded on one end by Trin- ity Church—which is seldom overcrowded—and on the other by a river—which is deep enough for the purpose. Bull-fights and bear-baiting are the main pastimes. The lambs are sheared whenever possible and the stock is watered frequently. Nothing is raised in this region except prices and panics. Formerly the inhabitants held aloof and said among themselves: “Dn the public’; but owing to the scarcity of spring lambs, they are now becoming better mixers and go about saying: “It’s not our fault.” The destruction of Wall Street has often been predicted, but Americans are still fond of buying gold bricks — Outing.
