S. ICkllkk, Mayor and President of the Council. W. S. McKean, Clerk. M: R. SI LEU'S mistake [Copyright, 1904, by C. B. Lewis.] Mr. Slier, corner druggist, bad bad ' parcel boys i>nd soda fountain boys for years, and be bad always pursued a certain policy with them. His idea wns not to let them know too much, lie argued Hint a knowledge of drugs tind chemicals made a boy conceited and that soou after tbc conceit made its appearance a raise of salary would be demanded. One day. however? one day wben the first demand of tbc season for hot soda came In? Mr. Slier put up a sign of "Boy Wanted" and wondered If be shouldn't adopt a new policy. There was a vague fear that he hadn't given tUe boys a fair show, and tlic more he thought of It the more It troubled him. Dozens of boys came, of course. Whenever n druggist puts out a sign of "Boy Wanted" It means licorice, sweet tlag, cough drops, rock candy and lots of other good things to the successful applicant Mr. Siler seTected one boy above all otbers-a boy who looked humble and enduring/ but whose ears proved that be had judgment and discretion. When he had been engaged at $4 per month to tend the soda fountain for the win ter the druggist called him Into the back room nnd keyed his voice to the confidential pitch and said: "Horatio, you look to me like a sen sible boy." "Yes, 9lr, I am," was the reply, "f believe I can trust you with the little secrets of the trade." "Yes. sir, you can." "People will come In, Horatio, and ask for pure simps and pretend to be very worldly and knowing. You will always have the purest sirups on hand, and be ready to swear to It." Mr. Slier winked at the boy, and, after taking time to think It over, the boy returned the wink and murmured that he wasn't born the day before. "And I want to tell you particularly about hot soda," resumed the druggist as he felt that he was doing the right thing. "There is u difference between hot soda and cold soda. I nevvr told nny of the other boys, but 1 feel that ! can trust you.". "One Is hit and the other Is cold." said the boy after some deep thinking. "Exactly, my son. A hunk of ice makes one cold, nnd hot water makes the other hot. Never In nil my drug store life have I told one of my clerks that carbonic add gas was the life of soda water, but I'm going to tell you. It's what makes the fizz, you know." "1 he gee-whlr.-fizz," murmured the boy. "You will sell hot soda. It Is hoi wn,er soda. There Is no carbonic acid cis in it. It Is plain, cheap hot water, but not one man la ten thousand knows it. He calls for hot soda under the im pression that he's going to get enough gas to run a sawmill for a week, and he goes away thinking he's been load ed up. It's all deception, my son? one of the Uttle tricks of the trade. I give it away to you that you may feel tic kled half to death all the time, but on your life you must not betray me. "Later on other and greater secrets will follow, but this Is enough for the present. Come and go to work tomor row morning, and It will depend en tirely upon yourself whether you lose your Job Inside of three days or even tually become the thriving and rotund proprietor of this corner establish ment." The boy was on deck at an early hour, as all new boys are the first day. and he was Inducted and Initiated Into the mysteries of the soda fountain. After an hour's labor the use of the various levers, sprlugs. ratchets, fau ?eis and balance wheels became plain ;o hint, and the man who called for the first glass of hot soda took him for i veteran. For the first half day all went well 1'beiiot soda went off with a rush, and ?very drinker went out of the sfSFe "celing that the gas was lifting him off lis heels, llorntlo enjoyed the situa tion Immensely, but it suddenly oc ?urrod to him that It was all one sided. - When you beat a man nnd he doesn't snow it, there isn't much hilarity In aughing behind his back. It would be i good deal funnier if the other fellow was "put ou," and Horatio soon p-it !iiui there. "What d'ye think yer glttln'7" he queried of an old baldbend who had iust downed a glass and was mentally ?stimating the gas pressure at a bun JreJ pounds to the square Inch. ?'Hot soda, of course," was the reply. "Feel the gas workln'?" "In great shape. You seem to have a jig head of it oft" "That's where you are left. Ha. ha. m!" roared Horatio. "It's nothing but j ilalu hot water, and the gas Is all In ! ? our eye." "Boy, don't you fool with me!" i .varncd the old man. "And don't you imagine yoti are go- j ing to draw apy Raw logs to tillhwlth j that gas." The first three or four customers let ? Into the secret took the boy as a j "fresh" nnd let It go at that, but after I awhile he got hold of a man who walked down to the rear of the store nnd shouted at the druggist: "So that's your little game. Is It leaving out the gas? If I want hot wa ter 1 can get It at home, and If I owe you anything send around your bill as Boon as you please." Then Horatio was called Into the back room for another talk. It dldu't last long, and It wasn't con fidential or hilarious. Mr. Slier simply took him by the ear and said: "Horatio, we must part. Take this In kind remembrance of a druggist who departed from hie policy. And when Horatio got outdoors be discovered that he bad been kicked. M. QUAD.
