Weuldn't Kiss Lincsla

The heroine OF the following anec-
dore about Lincoln is now an old lady.
but she declares that when she recalls
the way In which she met the ad-
vances OF the man who afterward be-
came ner hero II still brings the blush
OF shame to her cheek.
when l was about six years old"
she narrates, Lincoln for a short time
served, in the general store Of the

Just twenty cents In excess Of my en-

Week after week. when I went
with my mother to the store to OK

CODY CASE OPENS.
His Wife Will Fight Buffalo Bills
Suit to Finish.

Cheyenne, Wyo.. Feb. 16.-The di-
vorce suit of William F. Cody C'Buf-
falO BillO against Mrs Louisa Cody
was called for hearing here today.
Mrs. Cody argued for a continuance
on the ground that the critical illness
of her father prevented her from
leaving his bedside Cody fought for
an immediate trial declaring he must
Mrs. Cody desired to prevent him
from appearing in person to refute
her sensational charges against him.
Judge Scott strongly criticised Mrs.
Cody's attorneys for their dilatory
tactics and called for the INTRODUCTION
of testimony. This will be begun on
Friday morning, the interval being al
lowed Mrs. Cody that she may secure
dispositions. Each party will spend
five days in introducing testimony and
the case will be fought to the finish.
Colonel Cody's divorce petition.
sworn to on January 6. 1904, at Cody,
Wyo., makes the following allega-
tons:
First=Plaintiff alleges that on the
9Th day of March. 1866. at St. Louis.
Mo, he was married to the defendant,
and since that time has conducted
himself toward defendant IS a good,
faithful, and providing husband.
Second-That plaintiff has been a
resident of the state of Wyoming for
over one year last past.
Third-The plaintiff further represents
to the court that on or about the 26th
CARELESS of her marital duties and OBJ
legations in the court of North Platte,
Neb, was guilty of extreme cruelty to-
ward plaintiff in that she threatened at
many times prior to that date and did
on that date threaten to poison plaintiff.
Fourth-Plaintiff, for a second cause
of action, alleges: That the marriage
relations between plaintiff and defend
ant are incompatible and intolerable,
for defendant, without cause or provo
cation on the part of plaintiff, has at
divers times driven plaintiff from for
mer home in North Platte, Neb.; and
has al divers times refused to let plain
tiff bring his friends and guests to said
former home; and many times when
plaintiff has taken his friends and
guests to said former home defendant
would make it SO unpleasant for him
and his guests that they were forced to
leave the house. Plaintiff further says
that such indignities offered to and
placed upon him by defendant has rem
dered the condition of his married life
unbearable and intolerable.
F'ifth-Plaintiff further says that this

a report ready 1t was pretty clearly
indicated to him, just about how the
schedule is to be drawn up, and there
will probably be little damage from his

Secretary Logan was asked this
morning, if it was the plan of the man

liminary season trip, for instance into
the new Missouri Valley League terri
tory.
1--WE may do that" he replied. Just
now we have several more applications
for games here than we have accepted,
and our time before the opening date
of the Western Association season is
practically full. or at least as full as
we want it. 1t is not wise to work out
the players too strongly before the sea-
son opens for it is too productive CT
sore arms. If the weather should be
exceptionally warm, a heavy prelfmt-
nary season schedule would be all right,
but we cannot take any chances.
Il believe" he continued, that we
have enough games on hand, and with
the practice work at the ball park, the
team will have all that it wants to DO,
before opening up with Oklahoma City
on April 20. Captain Abbott feels the
same way about it. We think We have
a good team this year, and we want TO
start them off slowly, and not bruise
them up, so as to hit a good fast pace

aimed at these butchers provides that:
mo person shall shoot, hunt or take

wear Topeka uniforms this summer,
about thirty in number altogether, will
report here on April 6. Captain Alb

structions to this effect
The men will at once be sent on
the field to timber up, and on Sunday,
April 9, team of regulars, and a
team of ''mavericks'' will be selected

lowing Saturday Washburn will 'cross

more games with the professionals.
On Saturday, April %, Topeka will
e7Oe~7O44
Four games will be played at that
town. If Wichita buys Pittsburg's
franchise tonight, as expected, the
schedule will take Topeka to Guthrie
for four games, and then to Wichita
for four games. Return will be made
to Topeka about May 1 ?, and the sea-
son opened here with Wichita to be
followed by Oklahoma City. This
was about the arrangement agreed
upon at the last meeting of the mag
mates at Kansas City. The matter of
Wichitas accession, has, however,
much to do with the whole matter.
The exact date of the opening in
Topeka cannot yet be forecasted. for
arrangements are always made for
few open days on the schedule during
the first month, for the purpose of
resting the players. The reason for
the long stay in Oklahoma and the
southern part of the state. is that the
weather there is much more suitable
to ball playing about the first of May
than it is further north, if past tenn
perature records are consulted 1t is
the scheme of the schedule maker to
keep all of the teams south as far as
possible during the first two weeks of
the flower month.
on March 6, the annual schedule
meeting will be held at Kansas City,
