 Box Full of Hats.
 "A laughable and almost costly mis- dry goods stores Tuesday morning of fAia this SC class usually sci all empty goods boxes at prices from ten to twenty-five cents. The establishment I have reference to received large shipment of goods late Monday after noon. The cases were unfoaded on the sidewalk and the clerks began unpack- ing. By closing time, all of the boxes were empty except one large one, con- taining hats, which was still about half filled. By some mistake, this case with the hats was left on the sidewalk over night. Early next morning, country negro walked into the store and ex- pressed a desire to buy an empty box. A saieslady at once took him to the sidewalk and told him to take his choice for twenty-five cents. The negro, by chance. picked out the case money, loaded the box on his wagon
 Tt was 10 or II o'clock of the same morning when the proprietor of the store realized the magnitude of the mistake made. A search was contin. .ued for the negro for several hours and he was finally found with his wagon all the hats were there. The negro was not conscious of his prize. He drove back to the store and the first case was replaced by another"
