THAT SKINNER BOY.
His Was a Brief Career as a
Druggist.

buying a cake of toilet soap for his
mother, 'I want trusty by to run
errands. Do you, think. your folks
would let you Gomez"

Humpy, as his heart gave a bound.
mother was saying only the other day
that she wished was a druggist, so
that she could get her corn cure for
nothing .
you won't be druggist for some
time. but you will be on the. road to
it. The first step on the ladder is to
wash bottles, sweep out and run err
rands. You will start in at SO per
week, and in time you may get to own
your own store. 1t all depends on
yourself. If you are smart, willing
boy it won't be four weeks before you
can tell a box of chloride of lime from
a porous plaster, and then it's all plain
sailing after that"
Hump took the position next morn
ing. His father didn't think much of
the scheme, but his mother was great
" pleased over it. There had never
been a druggist in the Skinner family,
and she had always felt bad over it.
There were two prescriptions to deliv-
er the first thing, and when Hump
started out with them he fully realized
the great trust reposed in him. If
those prescriptions were delivered the
patients would live on; if not, death
would be their portion. The boy was
only a block from the store when he
met that Williams boy. Of course.
there was a halt to tell him the news.
He heard it with his mouth and eyes
wide open, and then patted Humpy
on the back and exclaimed:

Which She Denies

LeaYenwerths Kan. Feb. 2S--The
divorce suit of p A. versus Lavina
Locke is set for hearing in the district
court. This couple married in Rock
hill, Texas. October 8. 1891. The

that during the two or three years
prior to August, 1899. the wife would
abuse and scoId him without cause or
provocation and did nag and quarrel
With him and accuse him of fnf1delity
and of assoeiating with low and dis
reputable persons and that she ac-
cused him of trying to starve her and
drive her from home. He claims that
after he left her she wrote him let
ter in which she charged him with
running with low-down people.
The wife in her answer denied each
and every allegation made in the hus-
bands petition She also asked. for
altmony, stating that she had no
means of livelihood except one-half of
her husbands pension. The husband
then had his say in an affidavit In
which he stated that he had no money
or property except his pension of $12
a month of which the wife gets one
half and that he is 81 years old and is
unable to work and earn living Tor
himself. He says he decided one lot
with a house and other improvements
to the wife IN 1895 in the town of Mil
ford, Texas, and since then has owned
no property. He further says she has
three living children who are amply
able to take care of her.

CLEVELAND SALARIES SMALL.
Some of the Best Ball Players in
America on the Team, Too.

Detroit. Feb. 2S.-'Instead of being the
best paid club in the American league,
Cleveland has one of the cheapest major
league teams was the statement made
by one who is acquainted with inside de-
tails.
And such is the fact. Larry Latoie is
the only high priced member of the team
The others draw only fair salaries and
there are five members of the Detroit
team who draw bigger money than any
other Cleveland player, barring Larry.
At the present time Joss. Bernhardt,. Hess

have refused to sign. They have demand and

Tiger catcher, drew down 50, 400 last sea-
SON, and has been given 500 increase for
1907.
Joss, the best pitcher on Cleveland's pay
roll. is a 81 800 man. Donovan and Mullin

that calls for 81. 800. which is only 800
more than O'Leary draws here.

Kansas City, Feb. 2S.-The Kansas
Natural Gas company will this spring
build special exclusive pipe line from
Caney, Kan, to Kansas City. The rad

estimated cost.
J. c. Mcdowell, general manager or
the Kansas Natural Gas company, yes
terday afternoon, upon being question
ed regarding the matter, gave out the
information that the construction OF
the line has been definitely determined
upon. 1
At the present time Kansas City,
Mo-, and Kansas City, KAN, are being
supplied by two sixteen-inch lines,
which run parallel until they reach
Ottawa, and then diverge. Both of
these carriers have drains upon them,
however, along the route.

For all purposes he replied,
"about $35 or $40 per year.

Now we realize that we will have to
make extra preparations, and for that
reason we will construct this additional

before long. and we will have it
finished before the end of the sum-
mer. Then we will be properly pre-

is the kind of preparation we are
making to handle our business in

Baseball Commission Failed to
decide Topeka Case.
Chances Are That the 1907 Cir
cult Will Be as Now.
UP TO NATIONALBOARD
The Western League Made
Spirited Fight.
Hearing Will Be Given the Mat
ter Again in Chicago.

New York, Feb. 2S.-The application
of the Western Baseball league for per-
mission to draft the Topeka club from
the Western association, a lower class,
was taken up at a meeting of the ma
t1Onal commission held at National
league headquarters here Wednesday.
The commission is composed of Angus
tus Hermann of Cincinnati and Presi-
dents Johnson and Pulliam. They de-
cided unanimously not to pass upon the
question of jurisdiction at the present
time, but declared section 4 of article
q in the bylaws of the National associ-
alton of minor leagues, which prohibits
drafting from lower class, was bad in
it's effect and asked the national board
to take up the matter at once with the
object of adjusting this section and
obviate any necessity for the commits
sion to take any further action.
President O'Neil appeared for the
Western league, President Powers and
S. A. Farrell representing the associa-
ton. T. H. Murnane and Mr.. Burt of
the national board were at the hearing.
Players Broderick and Unglaub were
reinstated, but each was fined 5000, and
Player Briggs was reinstated without a
fine.
Some of the members of the national
board of the National association of
minor leagues took up the Topeka case
informally. A meeting of the board to
consider. the matter probably will be
held in Chicago within two weeks.
The commission ruled that Catcher
Mclean of the, Cincinnati club would
have to pay back $500 in advance money
taken by him from the Altoona club of
the Tri-State league. Seas
The commission decided that the pro-
test of the Toledo club against the sale
of Player Kruger by Washington to
Kansas City was unfounded. Other
minor cases were acted upon, after
which the commission adjourned, Herr
mann and johnson leaving immedia tely
for the west. ''7 -,.

ToNIGHTs BOXING CONTEST.
The Exhibition Bouts at Metropolitan
Hall Will Be Interesting.

All indications point to the fact that
the boxing exhibition at Metropolitan
hall tonight will be one of the best OF
the season. There are several good
contests arranged all of which prom
Use to be exceptionally fast.
The main interest tonight centers. in
the match in which Jack Johnson will
participate. Johnson will attempt to
outpoint two men, both top liners in
the heavyweight class, His soppon-
ents will be Big Ri1I'!Brooks and Ed
Edmupds,g both aa1te to1strtp over two
hundred at the ringside. These two
men will go against Johnson for six
rounds each and if Johnson is able to
withstand the onslaughts of these two
men he will-certainly show that he has
future before him in the ring.
Brooks Is especially hopeful of de-
feating johnson. He actually asserts
with no help from Edmunds what
ever. Edmunds says he will do his
best and thinks that he. will be able to
give johnson a run for his money.
Johnson has changed his tactics and
style of boxing somewhat of late and is
making his fighting conform more to
the eastern standards. He is now
more clever fighter and has the foot
work and sidestepping reduced to
fine art. This morning in preparation
for his work he made a six mile run
on the road.
The Business Mems club under
whose auspices the exhibition will take
place is limited to one hundred mem
bers and the membership tickets are
now nearly all sold.
Another bout which will attract a
great deal of attention tonight will be
the match between Teddy Williams
and Brigham Young, two of the fastest
lightweights in the bunch. This con-
test will be one of the best which has
ever been seen in Kansas between
lightweights. The betting on the event
is somewhat in favor of Williams but
the more conservative followers of the
game are inclined to the opinion that
Williams will have his hands full If
he gets the best of the Joplin man.
Another feature of the milling to-
night will be bout between fighters
of mixed colors in which eight light
weights will participate. Several. 9TH
err bouts have been arranged.
