IN A HAT SHOP.
At Frankfort some years 'igo,' a customer entered a hatter's shop with a little boy, and tried on a new hat, the price of which was one pruinea. Turning to the boy the buyer said, "How do 1 look in this hat ?" "Like a thief," the boy made answer. At this reply the man made for the boy, who, however, rushed out of the shop to save himself. The man, in a perfect fury, forgetting his purse, which was on the counter, rushed after the miscreant into the stueet. The shopman was much amused by the whole scene ; but when neither returned he examined the purse. It was old, and contained nothing but some buttons. The boy, the man, and the new hat were gone.
