I wrote a note as follows: “Please send me a pad of yellow paper, 8 by 10, unlined preferable.' The maid brought back the pad, on the wrapping of which the proprietor had written: Hope this will do. It Is yellow and unlined, but we are out of the preferable.’ ” i A lady fell over a brick pile in Indianapolis the other day and no damage resulted except in the loss of the lady’s hat, which was ruined by the mud into which it fell. The brick pile was in position owing to negligence of a city workman, and the city attorney hearing about it. called on the lady, and to avert a damage suit insisted on buying her a new hat. This is prob, ably the first time a city ever bought a hat, and it is a good thing for ladis in other cities to remember that to fall over a city’s brick pile may bring like results.

An operation of a very delicate nature was performed upon Mrs. Daniels who resides on Eighth street, this morning when a cancerous growth was removed from her left breast.

There is prospect that the Clover Leaf will cut down its mail and pas. senger train service unless the people along the line get busy and prevent the committee on poetoffices and postroads from cutting off 35 per cent of its revenue for hauling mail cars.
