when they don't stop to think. and an
instance of this kind was noticed at
the postohice at other day. when ii
man lost his hat while entering tn"
building by the rotary door. AS h"
entered one of the compartments
some one hit his hat so that it fell Off
his head and landed in the cOmpart-
mcnt ahead of the ono which he Oc-
cupicd. He never stopped to tninN
that there was Il partition between
himself and his headEcar. but as he
could see it through the glass in the
partition he made a run for it. The
hat however kept ahead of him and ii
was not until the man had turned the
door completely around and the hat
rolled out upon the stone steps that he
succeeded in recovering it.
