Hats Is Hats (1915)
Mike, the Interurban Express Agent at West Corners, receives a consignment from the 5:15 train of one calf, uncrated, and a package marked, "Handle with care. Valuable." Mike is a perennial grouch and on answering the insistent ring of the telephone learns he is talking to the owner of the $50 hat contained in the precious package. She is an old maid about to depart for the Fair with her beau, and the hat is the result of her parting with the savings of years, just for the occasion. During the course of her pert conversation with Mike, he sees out of the corner of his eye the calf step on the precious box, smash it and then devour the hat. Horrified, he hangs up at once, then sits and ponders: "Hats is hats and calves is calves, but when the hat is in the calf, how can I deliver the hat, and how'll my report read?" Mike gives it up and appeals to the head agent, who tells him to deliver calf and all. He does so, and on learning the circumstances the old maid faints dead away with a shriek. But Mike angrily points out that the company usually charges for repacking an article which has been damaged, and feels he has been very lenient in this case so, "I should worry."
