Two Hats for a Cent.

Two Of the largest stores in New
York have been having an expensive
fight on the subject Of cheap hats. The
price steadily dwindled until one Of the
houses was selling hats at q cent % piece.
while the other had reduced theirs TO
two for "a cent They had cost the firm
four dollars n dozen 10 was 10 rule that
mo- single customer could purchase more
than single cents worth of hats, but
some sharp shop-girl- got onto the
racket and sent their sisters. cousins
and aDnts in 90 buy while the market
was down. As result they laid in
quite q stock. which they are now selling
to other girls a. handsome profit 70

OF course the two for n cent hats
broke mp the competition in short order
and that aIluring price did not remain
long in vogue ~ y Hcrnid

Eureka possesses moro contractors to

after we moved from our old stand he
caught sight of some old sheds we left
standing, and feeling the need of "a side
walk in front of his palatial residence
concluded to save fow bits and buy
the old lumber left standing. He struck
hickman for trade, and got tho old
buildings for packing up TO Heck s.
house what wood was laying around
loose. He hired team at ~. 80 IA load.
and tho tcamstcr got IN six loads on him
amounting to %. Wishing TO have a
nice sidewalk, ho concluded to have n
cold-chiscl mado TO cut the nails, for
which he paid - After no got every
thing out of the way he tackled the
buildings and ripped them apart, which
took him two days. lie then started i'm
TO getting tho thing to pieces, and CHS
cled away for two days more when he
broke his - chiscl. BY this timo ho
began TO realize what darn fool ho
was, but his pride was too great TO givo
up the Job If il took all summer and
the last cent lac had. Uncle Bill Ohm
