The One Who Came Between Buffalo
Bill and His Wife.

Cheyenne, Wyo., Feb. 20.-Miss
Bessie IsbeH of Washington is the
young woman who has come between
Buffalo BiIl'' Cody and his wife. with
! whom he has lived thirty-eight years
Mrs. Codys lawyers will present to
the court in due time the charge that
1nfatuatiOn of this young woman actu-
ated the venerable Wild West hero. to
seek to rid himself of his wife and that
he did so with the intention of marry
ing or adopting that young person
when free. Locked in a vault in the
office of the clerk of the first district
court are a number of dispositions
which give the history of this infatua-
ton from the beginning in 1900 to the
present time. This evidence will be
submitted to Judge Scott when he calls
the formal hearing of the dlvorce case
at Sheridan, Wyo., probably the latter
part of the week.
The first glimpse of the life led by
the white-haired- Snowman and the
woman is found in the deposition of
John w. Claire, valet and messenger
to Colonel Cody for several years. He
is now in the employ of the American
Ice company in New York. His test1-
mony was taken last April at Hemp
stead, L. I. His evidence was given in
the presence of Attorney Ridgley, rep
resenting Colonel Cody, and Attorney
Wilcox, representing Mrs Cody The
dialogue which Judge Scott will read
in the dispositions will read in this
wise:
When did you first become acquaint-
ed with the person named Bessie Is
bel, 2" asked Attorney Wilcox.
t'At the Hotel Walton, Philadelphia,
while the show was there in 1900'' re-
piled the former valet, Claire.
Under what circumstances did you
first see her?'
I saw her in Colonel Cody's room.''
Where did you next see her that sea-
song"
grounds in Minneapolis"
Where next?''
In the coloneTs tent in St. Paul.
Anywhere alse that year?" pursued
the attorney.
Yes. said Claire. Il saw her in
Chicago first at the show grounds at
street. Miss Isbell was driven to the
grounds in a closed carriage and I took
her directly to the colonels tent. While
there a telegram came for Colonel
Cody. He was in a buckslxin suit, ready
to go into the arena and told me to
get some change out of his clothes in
the dressing room. I couldn't find any
change Wonder what 1 did with that
said Colonel Cody
''At this Miss Isbeu pulled a roll of
bills out of her bosom and said Here
it is. I took it out of your pocket in
the hotel -
Where was the colonel stopping in
Chicago?" asked Mr.. Wilcox.
AT the Auditorium Annex" replied
Claire
WAS the colonel under the influence
of liquor in the tent?"
Well he was about half intoxica-
ted
where else did you see Miss Isben
that year?''

THINK 1T OVER.
Something You Can See in Any Res
taurant or Cafe.

A physician puts the query: Have
you never noticed in any large res
taurant at lunch or dinner time the
large number of hearty, vigorous old
men at the tables; men whose ages
run from so to 80 years; MANY of
none of them feeble or senile
Perhaps the spectacle is so common
Pas to have escaped your observation
or comment, but nevertheless it is an
object lesson which means something
If you will notice what these hearty
old fellows are eating you will observe
that they are not munching bran
crackers nor gingerly picking their
tangled health foods; on the contrary
they seem to prefer a juicy roast of
beef, a properly turned loin of mutton,
and even the deadly broiIed lobster
is not altogether ignored.
The point of all this is that a Wig
orous old age depends upon good di-
gestion and plenty of wholesome food
and not upon dieting and an endeayor
to live upon bran crackers.
There is certain class of food
cranks who seem to believe that meat
coffee and many other good things
are rank poisons, but these cadaverous
sickly-looking individuals are a walk
ing condemnation of their own theor-
les.
The matter in a nutshell is that if
the stomach secrets the natural di-
gestive juices in sufficient quantities
any wholesome food will be promptly
digested; if the stomach does not do
SO, and certain foods cause distress.
one or two of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
let's after each meal will remove all
difficulty, because they supply just
what every weak stomach lacks, pep
sin, hydro-chloric acid, .diastase and
nux.
stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets do not
act upon the bowels, and in fact are
not strictly a medicine, as they act
almost entirely upon the food eaten,
digesting it thoroughly, and thus gives
a much-needed rest and giving an ap-
petite for the next meal.
OF people who travel nine out of
ten use Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets,
knowing them to be perfectly safe
n use at any time and also having
found out by experience that they
are a safeguard against indigestion in
any form, and eating, as they have to,
at all hours and all kinds of food, the
travelling public for years have pinned
their faitn to Stuarts Tablets.
All druggists sell them at so cents
for full-sized packages. and any drug
gists from Maine to California, if his
opinion were asked, will say that Stu
arts Dyspepsia Tablets is the most
popular and successful remedy for any
stomach trouble.
