Yes, son, you are correct. The first time
you wear stove-pipe hat everybody looks at
you. Not, as you may vainly imagine, be-
cause you are the first young man who ever
wore stove pipe hat, but because it is ap-
parent, even to the old blind man who sits
in the back pew, without any cushion in it,
away back under the gallery, where the poor
have the gospel preached TO them, that it is
the first time you ever wore hat of that
description. Your old father claps one on
the back of his head, puts his hands into his
pocket, holds up his head, and walks off
down the street in gale OF wind, and new
er thinks of his hat. Bnt you, son, you pull
yours on at the most graceful angle it can be
posed, and you teeter along, both hands
ready to fly at the hat at the slightest provo
cation OF the ghostliest phantom of puff OF
wind. You don't look comfortable, son.
Your hat is always trying to come off; you
bump it against everything you pass; you
rub it the wrong way when you try to brush
the dust offit, when you carry it in your hand
I'D the aisles, everybody smiles because you
first hold it by the brim and let the crown
tip gracefully over your arm, and by the
time you have hit three or four worshippers
with it, you change and turn it under your
arm and try to carry it that way without
touching it, and the first thing you do in
that pose, you put woman's eye out with
your elbow. Then when you sit down yor
nut the hat down on the floor, setting it OF
tho floor, setting it on the brim; a fatal
mistake. And then before the sermon il
half through, you put your feet on it three
times. But never mind you have to learr
some time. Only don't imagine that peopl'
never saw anything of the kind before, be-
cause they ave.-Burlington Haokeye.
