Town Buys woman a Hat.

The city Of Indianapolis as a municipal
corporation, bought q woman a hat the
other day. Merely for convenience she
may be called Mrs. Smith, because, for
the sake OF her feelings, James d. Pelrce,
the assistant city attorney, who made the
deal, would not divulge her name, A con-
tractor left some bricks in the street. Mrs.
Smith, with her husband, was on her way
to the theater and as luck would have 1t
she stumbled over those bricks and fell
quite heavily. Her husband helped her 10
her feet and half carried her back home.
The next day a report OF the accident
reached the ONCE OF the city attorney. No
claim had been filed for damages, but the
lawyers who look after the city's legal
business believed that there would be one,
so PIERCE decided to see Mrs Smith.
That noon, which was the first Of last
week, Peirce hurried out 70 the North Side
fiat where the woman and her husband and
her mother live. The young woman came
70 the door. He was ushered in and after
being informed that the woman before him
was Mrs. Smith he began to talk. Mrs.
Smith did not want to go to court. She did
not want to sue the city and have all the
papers say that the stumbled and rolled
over and over I'm the street She did not
want TO face a Judge and jury and have
a Dozen lawyers firing questions at her.
THE city will buy you a nice new hat OF
your own selection and we will call the
thing square" said PIERCE.
But had better see my husband" said
the young woman.
He would not wear the hat" said Peirce.
mo, that's So" she said and she smiled.
Wen, we'll do that" she said.
She signed release. Her husband came
a moment later. He signed, too.
That afternoon the young woman bought
her hat and paid for IL with a SO bill
Peirce had given her.

There were six starters in the Glass race
yesterday afternoon. Three of them were Lake
W1nnegabo boats and three were from abroad
The course was a three-mile triangle, four
times around, which made an effective test of
seamanship, as well as Of boats. There was a
full sail breeze which freshened at times so
that the small vessels had all that they could
stagger under. The first leg was a reach. The
second was also q reach, but not wide enough
to permit the serviceable use Of the balloon,
some OF the boats struggling to keep that lift
Ing sail In commission but apparently at loss
The last leg was q dead beat. Troubador was
across the line first and was never headed,
On the first and second legs she had fight
all the time with Skiddoo. But ON the last or
w1ndward leg she succeeded in shaking the
Butte Des Morris craft The real race was be-
tween Glindwer and Skiddoo for second place.
These boats fought it out for several legs
Finally In the third round Glndwer passed her
rival, sailing free and ever afterward increased
her lead Gltndwer gained Troubador on the
third and last round, but the lead that the
White Bear boat had attained in the first two
