Wee Willie Wrinkles out of their beds

Since the Roosevelt children have
been in evidence fitting through the
state parlors and perching on convent
ent elevations at state receptions, small
children have made their appearance
at their mothers afternoon teas. They
are quite proficient in handing bon
bons and cakes. At one function this
week the little daughter of the host
ess, a child of 6, invited a gentleman
of the old school to visit the punch
bowl. The gentleman in question is
a noted jurist and he is also a trile
absent-minded. From force of habit
he procured two glasses of punch and
presented one to his small companion
before draining the contents of the
other. The child regarded the man and
the punch graVely, as if debating
weighty question, then raised the glass
to her lips, took the tiniest sip and
bowed herself away. The strength of
the punch brought back the old gen.
tleman's scattered wits and relating
the incident later at the club, he con-
cluded: by Jove, that baby was
thoroughbred. When it came to
question of politeness she was not to
be outdone. Why, bless you, the child
thought it would be a breach of ETH
ouette to refuse to drink with me. And
it was Fish-House punch, too, and she
never pulled a wry face, but damme,
1 wish they would keep the babies
out of the drawing rooms so old peo-
pie wouldn't be going about making
mistakes"
The Children's League gave gor-
geous Red Riding Hood production at
the Lafayette Opera House Monday
afternoon and most of the youngsters
in town were rehearsing smiles and
marches and getting familiar with
wings for weeks in advance. The one
and only Lord Fairfax's little grand
daughters had a splendidly appointed
party early in the week at which the
little Roosevelts and a big vitagraph
were the principal attractions. The
children of Mrs. Richardson Glover
gave a magnificent fancy dress ball
every winter in the famous Clover
tapestry ballroom, to be present at
which Commander Clover, who is mil
itary attache at the Court Of st. James,

REPUBLICAN TICKET
FOR CONGRESSMAN SEVENTH
DISTRICT.
VICTOR MURDOCH
Or WICHITA.
81 WICHITA.

Note-Owing to the fact that the
congressional election on May 20 viii
be a special election, the active, loyal
Republican workers ct the district are
requested to be vigilant and see to 1t
that Mr.. Murdoch does not suHer
through the dangerous, general over
confluence that his election is as
sured. History has no more notice
able facts than those which prove that
special elections, especially where can
didates are thought to have 'cinch,"
are always dangerous. Too many OF
his friends default in their duty, be-
iieving that they are not nee6ed. THIS
Is mistake that has cost many
good man dearly. MIR. Murdoch is en-
titled to q large vote. 1t will help him
in congress-; it will make for him a
place in the estimation Of the infiuen-
tial men OF the nation, who watch the
action and influences of constituencies
closely, and hence will make him
more useful representative of the peo-
pie of the Seventh Congressional dis
trict. It was never more important
that every friend CT Victor Murdoch
should vote. Fight for him as you
would do if his election was numer-
icaIly close.

famed three men, but allowed the others
to hit the ball and depended on the team

Forester took turns letting the men

FIRST FRUIT
OF IRRIGATION
G. Robbins Files Injunction
Suit Against W. Mackie.
TO KEEP DITCH OPEN
Temporary injunction Was
Granted to Plaintiff.

One of the first fruits of the much
talked-of irrigation along the Arkansas
river is an injunction suit, the papers of
which were fled with the clerk of the
district court yesterday.
The plaintiff in the injunction suit is
G. c. Robbins. who asks that the court
issue an injunction to prohibit w S. and
Catherine Mackie, all of whom live north
west of the city, from filling up ditch
which runs through their property and
which is used for irrgating purposes by
the plaintiff.
In his petition the plaintiff alleges that
on March % 1895 he signed a contract
with the defendants which gave him the
right to construct ditch from the Ar
kansas river through the land owned by
The defendants to his land and that in
the contract 1t was agreed that the ditch
should be kept open as long as the water
was used for irTigating purposes. Ac-
cordingly the plaintiff purchased an en-
CINE. pumps, pipe and all irrigation APP
purtenances and states that since the
time the contract was signed he has ir-
rigated. using water from the said ditch,
whenever the season warranted ii. He
further states that he has fulfilled his
part of the contract but that the de
PENDANTS have threatened TO I'LL up the
ditch, thereb. cutting off his supply of
water. which act would greatly incon-
venience him and injure the value of his
property.
Therefore he asks the court to grant
an injunction against the defendants in
order that they may not cut off his wa
ter supply.
He was granted a temporary injunc-
ton. The date of trial has not been set
