The wets having lost every contest which they
have brought attacking womans suffrage in Southern
Illinois courts, have started in the Cook
county superior court in effort to njunc
ton restraining the board of election commissioners
from carrying out the provisions of the womans suf-
frage act.
This contest will do the cause of woman's suf-
frage harm. In the vernacular of the day it is
clear case of every knock being boost" The liquor
crowd is being forced to out into the open in
their opposition to votes for There will
be for doubt in the mind of any Illinois wo-
to who the enemies of womans suffrage really
are.

this suit has been brought by contractor who has no

TWO hats, each in the moderate
4 size which this season demands OF
stylish millinery, are contrasted here.
One Of them belongs to the class
known as tailored millinery, while
the other belongs to class desig-
mated as trimmed hats" This dis
tinction means that one of them is
meant for the street and utility wear.
while the other may be worn on the
street, but answers the purpose Of a
lress hat as well.
The hat of white velour faced and
sound with black velvet could hardly
be more simple than it Is The
narrowest Of velvet bands encircles
he crown, finished with a little fat
bow in front, two broad, short wings,
soft and easily adjusted, are placed at
the back, and form the sole trim
ming.
The shape is plain, but not at all
stiff. The crown is rather soft The
brim droops little at each side, and
lifts at the front, reminding one OF a
poke shape. It is the flexibility of the
brim and the suggestion of softness in
the crown which makes this shape so
elegant.
"A hat Of velvet with the brim mar

the back until it become wide brim.

makes soft frame for the face.
At the back two ostrich piumes in
the natural colors are mounted back
to back. They are shaded from

at the tips. A sash of wide MORE
ribbon in black is laid about the
crown and tied in bow at the front.
These two hatss are among those
which may be attempted at home
with fair chances of success. There
are something's which the home mill
liner may do, and others that she il

season require the knowledge and fa-

make them successfully. But shapes

STORIES FOR BEDTIME.
An Unpleasant Surprise.
BY Thornton w. Burgess.

Legs are very useful when you want to run
away:
Long. sharp teeth are splendid if to fight you
But a greater blessing, whether one may stay
or quits,
Is well oiled. perfect balanced, sharpened
set Of wits.
So said Peter Rabbit as he sat in a
snug hiding place in the Old Pasture
and thought over what he had found
out about the strange Rabbit whose
tracks he had followed. They had led
him to a, rubbing or measuring tree,
where the strange Rabbit had placed his
mark, and that mark was SO high up on
the tree that Peter knew that the
strange Rabbit must be a great deal
bigger than himself.
IF he's bigger. of course. he is strong
er." thought Peter, "and if he is both
bigger and stronger, of course it won't
be the least bit of use for me to fight
him. Then, anyway, I'm too stiff and
sore to fight. OF course, he has no bust
ness to think he owns the Old Pasture,
because he doesn't. 1 have just as much
right here as he has. Yes. sir, / have
just as much right in this Old Pasture
as he has, and if he thinks he can drive
me out he is going to find that he never
was more mistaken in his life. III show
him! Yes stree. I'll show him. | guess
my wits are as sharp as his and l
wouldn't wonder if they are a little bit
sharper
Foolish Peter Rabbit! There he was
boasting and Dragging to himself OF
what he would do to some one whom
he hadn't even seen, all because he had
found q sign that told him the Old Pas
ture. in which he had made up his mind
to make his new home, was already the
home of some one else. Peter was like
q lot of other people. He wasn't fair
No, sir, he wasn't fair. He let his own
desires destroy his sense OF fair play.
It was all right for him to put up signs

Were you looking for an Indian? No?
Well, if you were let this be an introduc-
ton to a real. sure enough, Indian who
looks like a Roman emperor. and who
is as mild a hammered a man as ever
trod the halls of Congress.
Carter ic his name-Charles d. Carter,
from the fourth congressional district of
the great state of Oklahoma. Seven
sixteenths Chickasaw blood is me- and his
red man ancestry has left him COM
plexion like a professional base ball
player. And he is a base ball player to
some extent himself, for he once played
first base in one of those perennial
teams in the House of Representatives
which battle for supremacy on the Amer
lean League diamond for the benefit of
Washington's Fairgrounds. And down in
the sticks of the southwest his play
ing IS young man is recalled as goal
for present players to yet achieve
Foe of Extravaganza.
Now, Carter is not Saturday night
Indian. by any means: doesn't claim
to be the only Indian in Congress, az
Senator Owen from Muskogee. Okla,
holds down the distinction at the other
end Of the Capitol. But he is distin-
guished in other ways. In addition to
CARRYING on an almost constant fight
against the eXrayaganceS of Indian adj
minsratiOn in his state, he happens to
be the man who put the sieve in civil
service. In other words Carter was the
original civil service reformer in that he
started the movement to put fourth class
postmasterships where they must parti-
cipate in competitive examinations.
AS to Indians. Carter believes that ii
the pilgrim fathers had introduced the
Australian ballot when they landed, the
Indians would own the country yet In
ballots versus bullets, the Indian would
