lessness causes no end of suffering.
Carelessness about no simple a thing

Hemorrhage occur from no apparent
cause and loss of blood causes death.
Hemorrhages occur during surgical
treatment, often cnuslng death.

RILEY EDWARDS' DERBY HAT.
Aldcrmnn Wright Yesterday Allowed
III m 9.1 for It.
Riley Edwards, the horseman, onco
upon a time owned a derby hat. Pos
sibly ho owned more than one, but
that has nothing In particular to do
with this story, for it was "a derby
hat" that figured conspicuously In a
case that was aired before Alderman
Wright yesterday. W. F. Walters was
the defendant in the proceedings.
Walters a few weeks ago sued Ed
wards before Alderman Howe and suc
ceeded in collecting- salary to the
amount of $20.75. Then Riley bethought
him of the hat and saw that it might
furnish a means of getting back at
AValters, for Walters had once wore
that self-same hat.
A warrant was sworn out before Al
derman Wright yesterday for the lar
ceny ot "a derby hat," valued at $3.
AValters denied tho theft and said that
In rumaglng through some old boxes
one day he found the hat, all battered
and soiled. Ho smoothed out the
wi Inkles of ago and then asked Ed
wards for It. "Do with It what thou
wilt," answered Mr. Edwards, in
stronger words.
Alderman Wright allowed Edwards
$3 for the hat of long ago.
