W. 4. Baseball Writes Letter to
Miss Topeka.
Slushing and Juicing for Just
Another Chance.

Queradtng IN the gu1Se OF SOHe-
hearted lover, has addressed the fol-
lowing letter to the city of Topeka.
conceived for the time being to be
fair lady with tickle heart:
my dear Miss Topeka: No doubt
you will be a bit surprised at receive
ing this note from me, but I have re-
strained myself in silence just as long
as possible. and the yearnings OF
sad heart have forced me to do what
my better judgment condemns.
els 1t really true that you are de-
termined to have nothing further to
do with me? After all these years of
love and friendship and devotion, IL
| it really true that you have grown
tired of me? can't believe it. MY
heart tells me that you are not that
kind of a girl, and the fires of my old
love refuse to be extinguished by your
long silence.
Think, my darling what we. have
been to each other! Think how have
held out consoling hopes to you in
your hours Of trouble and distress!
Think how you have abandoned your
self to the wild joys Of love In the
past and thrown yourself into my arms
with manifestations Of confidence and
passionate pleadings for the poor con-
ISOLATION and rewards l could give you!
Think how we have been insepara Bile
for months at a time-how with the
first coming. of spring, the first bud
ding OF the flowers and the first CHEEKY
note of the clear throated warbler.
you have welcomed me with smiles of
happiness and have embraced me with
every mark of love and affection and
endearment!
because I have been made the victim
OF unprincipled outlaws; because I am
unable to lavish shining dollars upon
you, are you going to turn me down
as cold as q cucumber? Are you go
ing to freeze the life blood in my veins
with an icy stare of haughtiness and
disdain? Are you going to make me
pine for your love and affection until
my poor, weary heart ceases to beat
it's love throbs for you and I perish
in misery, disappointment and despair :?
For, 10, these long months 1 have
waited patiently for some word of
cheer from you-for some sign that
give me another chance to redeem my
self and win a permanent place In
your affections. Each day l have
sought some chance to tell you of my
burning love and to ask you for just
one more opportunity. But ditsap-
pOintment has been my only balm, and
cannot endure 1t longer.
'Darling-my royal, clear eyed.
straight limbed, sweetheart-with a
heart that is consumed with an UNI
dying love, with a tongue that cannot
speak one mfllioneth part of the mis-
cry I endure, I beseech you to give
me just one more chance. Forget the
mere matter of. miserable dollars for
a few months. take me to your bosom
just once again and let me feel the
warm breath of your fair lips beat
against my feverish cheek and l
swear to you by all the gods that /
will make you the queen of all my
possessions. Give me but another trial
and I will envy you and proclaim to
the world that you are the mistress
of my heart and soul. l will make
you wealthy. 1 will crown you with the
most glorious diamond crown in the
world, and 1 will love you as a mother
loves her new born babe.
. "Oh. queen of my Mfe, humbly ask
| just one more chance. Say but one
. word and 1 will be happy. Tell me
that you will be mine for another
season. and I will proclaim the GLAD
tidings to the world. But, at least,
implore you. give me an answer. YOU
. silence is killing me. and I must know
one way or another. With an impa.
thence that you cannot realize and 9
burning desire that I hope you viii
! never know, I anxiously await you
reply and beg to remain,
Z Yours always and forever.
