Little Stories for Bedtime.
REDDY FOX GETS A SCARE.
By THORNTON W. BURGESS.

There lay Farmer Browns boys old
straw hat, where he had left it when the
supper horn blew. Peter crawled under it.
1t covered him completely.
Peter. peeped out from under one edge.
He saw Reddy Fox standing in the moon
light, looking at the bed Of newly set
cabbage. Reddy was smiling as II his
cred. He could just guess what Reddy
vas thinking. Reddy had invited Peter
to come with him to this very place at
sun-up the next morning. and Peter sus-
pected that Reddy was even now thinking
how he would gobble up Peter when once
he got him away from the safety of the
old briar patch.
The thought made Peter SO indignant
that he forgot that he was hiding, and he
sat up on his hind legs. OF course. he
lifted the straw hat with him. Then he
hurry. OF course. the straw hat wen,
down quite as quickly.
Presently Peter peeped out. Reddy Fox
was staring and staring at the old straw
hat. and he wasn't smiling now. He
actually looked frightened. 1t gaze Peter
an idea. He made three long hops
straight toward Reddy Fox, all the time
keeping the old straw hat over him. OF
course, the hat went along with him, and
because 1t covered Peter all up, 1t looked
for all the world as If the hat was alive.
Reddy Fox gave one more long look at
the strange thing coming toward him
started for home as fast as he could go,
his tail between his legs
Peter Rabbit just lay down right where
he was and laughed and laughed And
1t almost seemed as II the old straw hat
laughed too.

Peter Rabbit looked up at the silvery
moon and laughed aloud. Then he kick
ed up his heels and laughed again as he
started out across the green meadows
toward Farmer Browns garden. You see
Reddy Fox had found new planting
OF tender young cabbage there. and had
invited Peter to visit il with him at sun
up the next morning.
Now. Peter was suspicious, very sus-
picious indeed of Reddy Fox. So. as
it was a beautiful night for a walk he
thought he would just run over to Farm
er Browns garden and see Ii he could
find that bed of newly planted cabbage.
So Peter hoped and skipped across the
green meadows. singing as he went:
Hold, oil Miss Moon, hold up your light!
Show the way, show the way.
The little stars are shining bright
And night folks are out to play.
When Peter reached Farmer Brown 8
garden. he had no trouble in finding the
new planting of cabbage 1t was tender.
1t was good. My, how good it was. Peter
started in to fill his little round stomach.
He ate and ate and ate. BY and by, just
when he thought he couldn't eat another
patch of moonlight. For just a minute
Peters heart stopped beating. There was
Reddy Fox coming straight over to the
new cabbage bed.
Peter Rabbit didn't know what to do.
Reddy Fox didn't see him yet. but he
would in a minute two, unless Peter
could hide. He was too far from the dear
old briar patch to run there. Peter look
ed this way and looked that way. Ha!

To the dainty woman toilet water IS as
necessary during the hot months as the
morning bath or fresh linen. In making
the selection she chooses the oior of
some delicately scented flower for there
must be- the faintSst trace Of perfume in
the scent. used SO profusely is this re-
freshing toilet requisite.
Many women have discovered the wis
dom and the economy Of preparing their
own toilet waters at home. They realize
that by so doing they do not pay Tor
worthless adulterations and cheap substi-
tutes for the essential. ellis which give to
the water Its exquisite and permeatins

Rose water is one of the favorites for
summer use. There is something sooth-

Evening gowns for this summer may
be either of one of the light silks or of
pretty soft null or batiste. They are al

is a trsn. it is very short, hardly more
than dip. Latterly considerable fullness
Is noted in the skirts that touch the floor

comparatively scant, especially If thee

models that are very sheer have volume
enough, but it is drawn up with crosswise
shirrings until it appears to be as narrow
as any of them, but there is nevertheless
a graceful ripple when the wearer moves.
A charming little frock of embroidered
batiste is the model the artist has sketch
ed for today, and it plainly illustrates
the trend which fashion has ordained
The skirt is put on to it's foundation with
just the fewest possible gathers, but the

For those who make it always a rule to

violet water Is suggested as one Of the
most subtle and cooling of summer ad-
juncts. Remember, that no odor is so diff

ness, or so easily lost once 1t is gained.
The stale odor Of violets is most unpleas-
ant. and for this reason 1t is necessary to
use only the best essential oil in impart-
ing the odor.

show that while he cannot assist the suit

many players make is that, having said

This same tendency is now looming up

SMALL CHANCE
OF A STAMPEDE
Hope Of Byan's Friends is
Disappearing
DELEGATES ARE AGAINST HIM
Friends of Nebraskan Who Have Been
Laboring for Stampede in Case
Of a Deadlock Are Not
Encouraged,
DEL EGATES ARE AGAINST HIM

Washington, May l5.--rriends Of Will
liam Jennings Bryan who have been
| looking over the chances for stampede
in his favor at the Baltimore convention
! in June are not encouraged. On the
contrary they find that large numbers
of delegates have been selected appar-
entity with careful reference TO the fact
that they are not likely to engage in
any Bryan stampede, no matter what
happens.
For many weeks, in view of the grow
ing complications In the Democratic sit
uatioi. there has been much said TO
the effect that in the last analysis the
Democratic national convention, finding
itself unable TO throw two-thirds vote
to Wilson or Clark or Underwood or
Harmon, would turn to Bryan and settle
on him once more to lead the fight for
the PARTY. II has been widely believed
that Mr. BRYAN himself, in certain cir.
eumstances, would be more than will
ing to make the race for the fourth
time.
But the more his disciples have looked
into the situation the more they have
perceived the difficulties of efieeting the
nomination OF their favorite leader.
They find that delegations have been
quietly stacked against him, and that
il will be extremely difficult II not inn
possible, to round up two-thrds of the
delegates and stampede them to a Bryan
ticket,
The exact extent to which this has
been done is difficult to say. The proc
ess has apparently been going on for
many weeks, and quietly. In the siren
uous fights for delegates for Wilson,
Clark. Harmon and Underwood, eompar.
atively little attention has been given
to the question Of the second choice.
The result is that il has not been
difficult to work in lot of men a.

ii one of the four leading candidates

to as my old chief" He said that
President Mckinley was "a man who
all his life long kept in peculiarly close

would have been quite incapable OF
expressing, because he would have been
quite incapable of feeling, the deep dis
trust OF the people which inspires those
who sheer at them as a 'rabble' or a
mob those who lay stress upon their
fear of tyranny of the majority and
upon their disbelief in the right of ma

shape their own destinities, and to con-
troll the public officials who are or should
be the servants of the people and not
the masters of the people"

Stamford. Conn, Nav l5.--George :.
Wilson, manager of the savings depart
ment of the Stamford Trust company
and DeForest Moores, teller of the same
institution, were arrested yesterday aft
ernoon, accused OF Oscillations to the
amount of nearly 1000.
While the matter has been under in
vestigation for some time and the young
men have known since Saturday that
they were under suspicion, the charges
have caused tremendous sensation fol-
lowing closely the defalcation OF Col
W. II. Holly of the Stamford Savings
bank.
Both men have been with the company
for a number of years and are well
known and popular. Wilson has been
treasurer OF the Y. NJ. G. A. and of the
Baptist church and secretary of the Wee
Burn Golf club.
While the officers of the company do
not reveal precisely how the defalea-
ton occurred it is understood they are
alleged to have falsifed accounts for a
period of years. They are suspected of
using the money in unlucky speculation.
The following statement was issued by
the officers of the company yesterday:
"The directors of the Stamford Trust
company announce that owing to de-
falcations by two of its employees, George
S. Wilson and DeForest Moore, the COM
pany has lost S57 .8s7.o7. The amount
of loss will be reduced by the amount
Of their surety bonds, Sl2,500 and some

The directors assure the depositors
and stockholders of the company that
this defalcation while large. in no re-
