fore. A reporter on the stroller's paper was present to elaborate the |analr which was to be followed by ! Che strollers personal writcup Of ! the brides nnery. The latter did not return to his office after the wedding. the old coloners special brews and beverages being too se- ductlve to pass mp for the prosiac work of proof-reading at O. clock in the morning.
 Between s and 9 o'clock the next morning the Stroller was awakened by an unusual commotion down in the hotel office and in which he recognized the voice of his colored man-of-all-work, Zion. The latter was saying in his deep, basso-pro- fundo; "Ah ies' got ter see i'm as lt am a mattah ob life an death"
 Without waiting to onrobe him self. the Stroller went to the head of the stairs and called to Zion to come up and explain himself, which he did, as follows:
 "Cuhnul Bubbon am at de odls wid a sawed-of shotgun and he swar he gwinc ter kill de hull bunch. He done tuck a shot at me but missed me, beln' too mad to sce."
 The Stroller sent Zion back to the hotel office for a copy Of the morning paper One glance at the account of the wedding was suti- cient to reveal the cause of the col- onels wrath. The intelligent com positor had made the word written "Trousscau" read Trousers"
 That was more than twenty years ago and the Stroller has not been back to his Florida printing office since. More than that he does not intend to go until he hears on un- disputablc authority that Colonel Earlscourt Frederick Bourbon sleeps with his fathers.
 After reading that wedding arti- clc the Stroller quietly tclcphoned to a friend he could trust The latter brought a closed carriage which later was driven by a back street out Of town and through the virgin forest to a railroad depot fifteen miles away where nasty adieu was bldden to the land of

If an Che reasons for people be- iug iu this far northland were de-
 tailed and published, thc list would bo both a long and interesting one. It may be due Co the stroller's nat urally sympathetic nature and ap- pearance that he is made the cou- Hdant Of scores Of people-peoplc who yearu for a sympathetic shoul- der on which to reclinc while they unburden their souls of their liies secrets and weep ont their sorrows.

A late letter from her closes with Father is still living. tho nearly gO years of age. He never misses going to the depot to meet trains from the north and on such trips he invariably carries a sawed-o1f shotgun. He sits alone and com munes with Nature a great deal and I frequently hear him quoting from Ricnzis address to the Romana where 1t says: 'Be we men and suffer such dlshonor? Men, and wash not the stain away in blood?'"
 The manner in which politicians, regardless of party, are now blli- ing and cooing around the suffra- gists recalls to the memory of tho Stroller the attitude Of a certain American who located in Canada a few years ago when the Liberal party was in power For m.sinesa reasons the newcomer took out na- turalization papers, renouncing al- legiance to "Old Glory" and 5c- coming a British subject He at once landed in the Liberal ranks with both feet and was a most ar dent supporter of the principles ad- vocated by that party. Two years later the Liberal party was glor- iously defeated by the. Conserva- lives and the first man to send a telegram congratulating the newly elected Conservative member of par Iiament for his district was the re- gently "whitewashed" American, whercupon the following conycrsa- ton took place between the Stroller and the sender Of the telegram:
 Colonel, had always under stood that you were a Liberal"
 "I was," replied Che colonel, "when the Liberal party was in power. But let me tell you right here and now that l would like to see the d-d government that can change any quicker than l can"

 Many of the causes given the Stroller by people for their being la this country are too pathetic to be paradcd before the public eye and for that reason the confidence oi thc rclators will remain invIo- late. While many of them are amusing, or would be to dislntorest- cd parties. they are serious to Che principals and for this reason the feelings Of the latter will be re- spected.
 The Stroller does not hesitate Co confess that a typographical error in newspaper changed his entire after life and was directly the cause of his coming west and being in line Co come on North with the rush of '97 and 9S. The printer who was responsible for the error stiu lives to enjoy the salubrious climate of Che country from which Che Stroller lost no time in sep- arating himself lt was this way:
 Miss Arabelle Bourbon, the only daughter Of Colonel Earlscourt Frederick Bourbon. the most dead ly duelist of ten Southern States. was married. and, in order that the affair might receive the attention and publicity to which the wedding Of the only daughter of the House Of Bourbon was entitled, the Stroll CT. then editor of the only daily paper in that county-seat Florida town. was invited Co call In person the afternoon preceding the we'd ding at the Bourbon home to in- apect Che half-dozon or more tri- umpb5 in mod istory which were shown by Che soon-to-be-bride hor- self. The visit to the ancestral home was accordingly made and copious notes were taken Of the very elegant bridal outfit As the Stroller was to be ono Of Che groom's supporters during the ceremony, he took time by Che forolock. as it were. and wrote a description of tho brides gowns and the many pres ents she had received before leav- ing his office to dress for Che we'd ding. In his article he used the expression. "It was the esteemed privilege of the editor to person ally inspect the brides trousscau."
 The wedding came on as per schedule and without hitch the occasion being the greatest event in Che House of Bourbons since the gallant old colonel himself had cspoused a lovely daughter of the auu-bollum South many years be-

THE Pillow FOR sTOVALL?
Fire Brand Says He Can Return to
the Farm If He Has To.

Chicago, Feb. 2.-Peace-in baseball
has no charms for the initial Fed
eral league insurgent, George Stovall,
former manager of the erstwhile Kan
sas City club. THE fire brand re-
turned from New York bemoaning the
i'll fortunes incident to some people
when war ceases.
Stovall visited the east to confer
with James A. Gilmore relative to OBJ
tanning his release, so he might search
for minor league management He
got no satisfaction. Evidently he was
not among those taken care of when
the peace pact was signed.
Here 1 am" he commented, with
no job. I had to hurry from the coast
to try and land something, but 1 can't
even get my release. Kansas City
says 1 belong to the league and Gil
more says belong to Kansas City.
What am I going to do? Get q

SIGNING THEM UP
Savage Sends Contracts to To-
peka Players Today.
Nine Men Have Already Signed
Orange Documents.

John Savage. Topeka's baseball
magnate, was busy today in his office
in the New England building sending
out contracts to the players who will
report here some time in March to try
cor places on the local Western league
pay roll this season.
In all % men have or Will within
the next day or so receive contracts.
and any other phenoms who happen
TO be found loose between now and re-
porting time VIII likely be lined up.
Nine men are already under con-
tract. They are: Manager baltimore,
Daniels, Hanson, Sutton. Weidel
Weisine. Finnegan. Dashner and
Snow. Lambeth, the new recruit
pitcher. has accepted terms, but mis-
contract has not yet been signed.
The players to whom contracts are
being sent today are; Rapps, Fisher,
Bostick Cochran. Trainer. Tydeman.
Grover Hall. Lakaff, Higgins, Carroll
and Sanders.
Tho reduced salary limit of the
Western league has necessitated cut
ting of the salaries of practically all
the players, and there is a possibility
that some of them will be a bit dis
gruntled al the financial specifications
of their contracts. but past experience
has taught the club owners that the
only way they can keep the league
on n sound basis is to have a salary
limit and live up to it to the letter
Savage is one of the strongest stick
lers in the league for observing the
salary limit rule, and regardless of
how the players take it he is deter
mined to keep within the confines.
The sending of contracts to the
players does not necessarily mean that
those who get them will report here
in the spring, but it is likely that all
of the Savage men who are on the list
Will be brought on unless they decide
to quit the game or are disposed of
in trades or sales in the meantime.

Giants pitching staff last season by
the player limit, will appear in a De-

the signature of the local boy to a
contract. The st. Louis Cardinals
made a bid for his services, as did
Minneapolis and st. Paul in the
American Association. Several other
minor league clubs have also made an
effort to get him. When the Decatur
club of the Three l league went to the
wall last season, Kirmeyer was de-
clared to be free agent, and there
fore he selected his own club for 1915.
