WEST, THE


EASTERN LADY (traveling in Montana)--"The idea of calling this the

'Wild-West'! Why, I never saw such politeness anywhere."



COWBOY--"We're allers perlite to ladies, ma'am."



EASTERN LADY--"Oh, as for that, there is plenty of politeness

everywhere. But I refer to the men. Why, in New York the men behave

horribly towards one another; but here they treat one another as

delicately as gentlemen in a drawing-room."



COWBOY--"Yes, ma'am; it's safer."--_Abbie C. Dixon_.
