Leaves His Girl at Rival's Mercy, But She Remains Faithful and Freezes Interloper Out. The boy wa3 satisfied with life in the small country town, until he saw the picture of a man-of-war. In every American boy's heart there is something about the picture of one of our floating fighting machines that starts within him all the torrents of latent patriotism and love of a good fight, and this boy was no exception to the rule, relates the Minneapolis Tribune. But to want to enlist was but the mere beginning of the boy's actual enlistment.
There were obstacles to overcome. His father was a business man and had made other plans for his son. The village jokesmith told a few jolly ones about people getting seasick to the bunch of time brokers behind the harness shop, and the curly-haired wonder with the bright eye on the main chance, who pushed dry goods across the counter for the inspection of the town belles, made a mental calculation that with the boy out of the way a certain girl would" have three more open nights a week which he might help to fill. As for the girl she seemed to take things very quietly in fact so quietly that a shrewd observer mignt suspect her of harboring some inside information which gave her mind this unseemly peace. The curly-haired dry goods juggler was a little more disconcerting.
Three nights a week was a big opening to leave and four years a long while to be gone, but still he resolved to trust to an original scheme which had flashed across his mind when the question of leaving the girl had first presented itself. He went to talk it over with the girl. There were some more calculations, a half interest in a certain prosperous little hardware store was discussed, a little house, too, just across from where the girl lived, was mentioned, and the girl thought it was awful for anyone to marry at 18 anyhow. Then there must have been a promise perhaps a sealed promise, something, anyway. The boy left the house with a happy look and the curly-haired dry goods artist, whose net weekly income had about as much show of rising above eight dollars a week as a New York insurance director has of "reaching for more," was effectually erased from his thoughts.
Three days later the boy went to Minneapolis. He passed a good examination and was sent away to 'Frisco the same night with four other boys, with the same ambition and destination. The boy wa3 sent shortly after to the training ship Pensacola, where the young boys are taught all sorts of things necessary to make them efficient seamen. For instance, he wrote that he was taught to sew canvas, splice rope, make knots, etc. The boy kept his eyes open and soon saw that he would be able to pass the examination for seaman, which would give him more pay and open the way to promotion.
His division officer encouraged him in this effort, as well as some others of the bright boys, and it won't be long before he obtains hi3 new rate. About the time of his examination the new cruiser California will be commissioned. This ship is a fine example of the new armoured cruiser of 13,000 tons displacement. The boy has hopes for a place aboard this latest product of the Union Iron works, where also was built the famous Oregon, especially as she will be in the Asiatic fleet. If the clouds of war gather above China and break into a storm, the boy will be there to take part in it and acquit himself as Minnesota boys always do.
In the meanwhile, the curly-haired beginning of a Marshall Field finish had been as astute as the fox. Not for a month did he drop around to make his consolation call, not he. For that he was too smart better by far to let the "out-of-sight-out-of-mind" theory prove itself and allow the pangs of the boy's departure to ameliorate in ihe fair one's heart. Then one night he lost himself in one of those broad-shouldered effects that make J. Jeffries look like a bad case of ingrowing development, changed the ends of his cuffs, and dropped around just casually as it were.
When he sat down in the parlor he noticed several pictures of the Yuba Buena Island Training station on thi piano and the belt around the girl' waist bore in gold letters S. Pensacola." When she turned to show him some, picture postals from 'Frisco he also observed her collar was fastened by a pin shaped S. and above the mantel piece, which place he haa thus far failed to see, was the framed photo of a young sailor around which somebody had draped the American flag. The curly-haired one saw he had made a false start and realizing sadly that 16 and 7 made "23" took the first opening for a quiet exit. As he mournfully traveled up the lane he gave one farewell glance backward.
The blind was up a little in one of the windows and through the opening he thought he saw the girl sitting at a desk busy with a pen. Of course, he wasn't lure, for the blind was raised Just a little and he didn't care anvbov. ENTS Theodore Fletcher, by Hard Work and Economy, Owns Farm. There are lots of pretty little cottages in Leavenworth, but none prettier than that of Theodore Fletcher on Pawnee street between Thirteenth and Fourteenth. Mr.
Fletcher is a colored man and works in the coal mine. Fifteen years ago, he bought a lot on time payments, making a cash payment of 50. As soon as he got his lot paid for he built himself a small house. Now he has three lots which gives him a piece of land 75 by 125 feet. These lots are all fenced in with a picket fence in front, and on the sides and back of the lots, there is a board fence.
On the three lots stands a 3 room cottage with a good cellar. The house is painted white and trimmed with a darker color. There is a large cistern and a pump on the back porch. There is a small barn and outhouses. The walks around the house are all of brick, and there is a large grape arbor and several fruit trees in the yard.
About one-half of the lots is under cultivation, and the balance of the yard is in blue grass and in flower beds. In the house, the rooms are neatly carpetted, the walls are papered and good pictures hang on the walls. The furniture is not only good but everything in the house shows good taste and judgment. Hhere is a property that would be cheap at $1,500, and it is all paid for. This industrious colored man has made this property and paid for it in 15 years.
He is a miner, and they are on a strike, but he is not afraid. He has no rent to pay. He has plenty of work in his garden and around his house. What Mr. Fletcher has done, every working man in Leavenworth can do in 15 years, and some of them in a great deal less time.
They can own their own home and be independent. Mr. Fletcher says if he had waited until he had the money, he would never have had this property, but that he got it just a little at a time. He says he does something evers year. "I am going to put a brick sidewalk in front of the house as soon as I can get the bricks.
I would be doing it now, but there are no paving bricks to get in the city." RURAL ROUTE NO. 1 NOTES. Miss Mattie Fulcher of Beverly, spent Saturday and Sunday with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Ben Mrs.

Joe News. Durbin has at least signed a Jop-lin contract. He bucked around for three weeks before signing and the Joplin fans were beginning to get nervous. The once mighty Topeka team returned from its trip to Lincoln, Omaha and Des Moines completely demoralized. Wichita, Joplin, Joplin, Webb City and Springfield are in the best condition.
St. Joe Team Named. Manager Hurlburt of St. Joe has decided upon the name "Packers" for the St. Joseph Western association baseball team, because of the fact that St.
Joseph is the only city in the association in which there are packing industries of any consequence. The name was suggested by Charles C. Roberts of 114 Francis street, to whom a season ticket was issued. Manager Hurlburt was showered with names, few of which were available. Many were rejected because they did not bear upon the subject and some were not considered be cause Hurlburt feared to create discord among the fans.
"No team in the Western association was ever named the said Hurlburt. "The Wichita club is called the the Joplin club and I believe 'Packers' will be appropriate. All of the other towns in the league have banks and millionaires and politicians and drummers, so names suggestive of these classes were not appropriate. The names submitted number forty-five and they vary greatly in their conception and originality. "Browns" was a favorite, but Hurl burt pointed out that on the road the team will wear white uniforms.
Leaders" was rejected because it is not a sure shot that the team will lead, although it is hoped it will. The names "Apostles," "Josies" and "Jo-towns," as usual, were strongly favored. The Packers left for Springfield this morning, where they will open the season Thursday. None of Manager Hurlburt's team Is sick and the club is complete with the arrival of the new right fielder Stis. All of the men will be taken-on the trip.
The Opening at Wichita. Auspicious in every detail will be the inauguration of the Western association baseball season in Wichita, when Friday afternoon, the championship battle will be ushered in. Headed by a band of twenty-four pieces, officials of the league and prominent business men of the town in carriages with a galaxy of uni-iformed ball players spick and span in unforms new, the Jobbers and To peka White Sox, will participate in the inaugural demonstration. The pennant will be officially pre sented by President Shively, and the first ball will be tossed over the pan by a city executive. Mayor Fin-lay Ross has been requested to officially toe the rubber and slant the first deceiver past the triangular point.
One thousand fans, it is anticipated will participate in the parade through the down town streets of the city, Friday afternoon. The official presentation of the silk pennant donated by the Kansas City Star, to Wichita, the leaders in the 1905 race, will be made by the league president. The presentation speech will be made by Judge D. M. Dale.
A cedar flag pole 47 feet in height, has been erected in the lot three feet south of the club, house. From this staff the silken trophy will fly throughout the series. Mayor Ross has been requested to issue a proclamation declaring Friday, May 4, an official holiday and urging merchants and citizens in general throughout the city, to suspend business for the afternoon, in honor of the advent of Twelve games will be played at Association park with three of the strongest teams over the circuit, Topeka, Joplin and Oklahoma City.

The baseball season in the Western association will open tomorrow brighter prospects than ever before. Indications are that every team in the association will make money this year. The Leavenworth team, confident cf a successful season, left at 8:42 o'clock this morning for Webb City, where the first game of the sea-Bon will be played tomorrow after-uoon. The following players went to Webb City this morning: Pitchers George Speer, J. C.
Ashley, John Rowan and William Port. Catchers Corbin and McDowell. First baseman William Zink. Second baseman R. G.
Kahl. Third baseman LeRoi. Shortstop and manager George I. Pennington. Left fielder E.
Wooley. Center fielder Peck Measure Harrington. Right fielder William Rapps. The four pitchers will draw to see which one will pitch the opening game. It is generally believed that the team as now organized is better than the team put in the field by Armstrong at the opening of the season last year.
WANTED A NAME. The directors of the Leavenworth Raseball club are anxious to secure a suitable name for the club and they wifih to announce through the columns of The Post that they are ready lo receive suggestions. Names may be left at this office until 6 o'clock Friday evening when a selection will be made by the directors of the club. The person selecting the best name will be given passes to ten games. Last year the team went through the season without a name other than that of Leavenworth.
Many, however, are of the opinion that Leavenworth is a good enough name tor any ball club. Baseball Notes. The new uniforms are "beauts. I'hey were "tried on" by the players tor the first time yesterday afternoon, and once in them the boys strutted around like a lot of two-pear-olds.

The suits to be worn at home are Yale gray throughout. Catcher Kern and Pitcher Payer have been released unconditionally. No further attempt will be made lo bring. Quiesser into the local fold tantil the Wichita team appears here Ibout the middle of the month. Unless satisfactory arrangements are tnade before that time all games in h'hich Quiesser participates will be protested.
The Post will place a large bull-titin board in front of the office on which the games in which the local team participates will be reported by Innings. All other games will be reported at the close. This probably will be appreciated by people, who in the past have been compelled to wait for the Kansas City morning papers to get the scores of the games. Of course proper ceremonies will attend the opening of the season in Leavenworth. A brass band will furnish music.
Mayor Everhardy will pitch the first ball, and then Leavenworth will proceed to wipe up the earth with the Wichita Job-tiers. That afternoon will be declared a holiday by Mayor Ever-hardy, and for the first time this season the capacity of the new grand stand will be taxed. The men who are at the head of the Leavenworth team this year are "pushers" and the success of the fam is already assured. Such men fcrer make failures of anything. Leavenworth starts the season with four pitchers of known ability, which cannot be said of any other team in the association.
Most of the teams are particularly weak in the pitching departments this rear. The New Saratoga Hotel and Restaurant Just Opened Quick Service Excellent Cooking. 406 Cherokee Street. ED. ALEXANDER.

St. Louis, May Mrs. Grace Dewolf and her sister-in-law, Miss Doris Dewolf, of 3339 Lucas avenue, each 18 years old, mutually distressed at the thought of separation, Tuesday attempted to carry out a suicide pact by swallowing chloride of mercury. Their cries attracted the attention of a neighbor, who burst in the locked door and summoned a physician, who saved the sufferers. The girls were chums in Dallas, Texas.
When Miss Dewolf's brother married her companion she was inconsolable, and when yesterday Dewolf wired his wife to join him in Jacksonville, the girls decided to end their lives rather than be parted.
