"goods Must Go."

A man wearing a last year's straw hat and havtng a generally faded appearance entered an uptown bargain store yesterday, and, after looking iround a few minutes, picked up a number of things from the counter and started to walk off with them. "Do you wish to buy those articles?" politely asked the clerk, intercepting him. "Certainly not," replied the other. "Why should I buy them?" "Then please put them back on the counter," said the clerk, sternly. "Well, I guess not. Young man, I was invited by the proprietor of this place to come in here and carry these things away." "Were you, indeed? Then perhaps you have some letter from hlm directng me to let you have them." "Letter nothin'. I don't need no letter. The invitation is a public one, and hangs right out here in front of your store. What does that sign say? 'These goods must go regardless of cost. dome in and take them.' Well, that's what I'm doin'. I'm takin' them jardless of cost."
