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.
