A W0MAN'S HAT.
There's Large Pot Of Trouble Brow.
ina For Ono MiIIinor

ing FoF Ono Miiltnor.
Mr.. Standish was mad when he went
into the millinery establishment, and
the longer he stayed the madden be
got Presently he walked over to a
stunning black creation that hung on
peg near tho window and said:
This Is the hat want to see you
about"
Tho proprietor came forward
what can ] do for your he asked.
"You can fix this hat over the way
my wife asked you to-" said Standish
explosiyely. "She wants the feather
put on tho other side. that bow moved
to the front, and she wants the rim
TO bulge q little more over the tenn
pies"
Seeing n guilty flush creep over the
proprietoTs face, Standish went on
with increased heat:
"She says you have refused to make
any alterations on the ground that a
stitch added to or subtracted from the
bat Is bound TO ruin 1t, but tell you
that's al nonsense. My wife knows
how she wants her hat to look, and II
she can't stand up for her rights III do
1t for her. She is coming around this
afternoon TO try tho hat on again. IL
1t isn't ready by that timo there Will
be no end OF q row."
The proprietor twirled tho black hat
on his forefinger and looked from II to
the head saleswoman lugubriously.
II remember" he said. that tho lady
who ordered that hat did bring 1t back
yesterday TO be remodeled. Perhaps II
will be possible to make the altera-
lions suggested after ALL"
The managers humility made Stand
ish feel very proud OF himself.
That's tho only way to deal with
those fellows" he said when he left
the shop. you've got to meet them on
their own level 1t takes q man to do
that No wonder women get cheated
out OF their very eyeteeth. They
haven't got sand enough to say the
things that have to be said to secure
their rights"
Throughout the day Standish con
dnued to revel I'm self congratulations,
and he actually went home half an
hour ahead OF time to see II his w1fe's
hat had been metamorphosed into the
thing OF beauty he had suggested.
We'll" said he jubilantiy, was the
hat all right?"
"AH rightT' said Mrs. Standsh.
They hadn't even touched It. How
could you expect 1t 20 be all right when
You didn't stop IN 20 see about it?"
"But did stop" protested Standish
II saw everybody about the place md
laid the whole establishment out In
great shape. Here's their card to prove
l was there. l picked 10 up as l was
passing out"
Mrs. Standish took up the card and
read the name aloud.
"O-o-o-h" she cried. "ls that where
you went? Why. you got into the
wrong place. What on earth will that
manager think7 He must think you
are crazy"
81 don't care II he does" said Stand
ish Imply. but would like to know
what the owner Of that black hat will
say when she sees 1t made over nc
cording 10 my directions."-New York

That Col. Roosevelt should refuse TO
sit at the table with Senator Lorimer
and then hob-nob with Boss Cox at
Cincinnati has caused much unfavor-
able comment. The Colonel's most
inconsistent act however, provokes
the Virginian-Pilot to say:
THE impending offensive and defen-
sive alliance between Hearst and
Roosevelt does not overcome us like a
summer cloud nor excite our special
wonder. True, they have exhausted
the vocabularies OF abuse in denounc.
ing each other but neither OF them
is of the class which allows honest
resentment, any more than the obligat
tions OF gratitude, TO determine their
political associations. Both play the

himself to accomplish a purpose That
Cannon and Snap should finally pool
