A COLLAPSE OF DIGNITY,

The human heart, in all its expansive,
limitless capacity for enjoyment, tokes
greater pleasure i'll nothing more than
witnessing a portly, solemn-yisaged
man, the embodiment of natural digni-
ty, importance in clothes, administer
a scathing rebuke to some "smart'
petty official. This morning just such
personitication 'of innate dignity
doomed up at the stamp window of the
post office, and glared in gloomy and
maj estic displeasure at the busy clerk
registering letter before he sprang to
the window and asked the stately GUS
toner what he wished. The great man
did not answer for several moments.
He gazed steadily and imprcssively
over the clerks head, and then asked
in ponderous, tones:
g Is there any one hcre-r-r e--who
attends to business ?"
The embarrassed clerk blushed, fall
tered for moment then, recovering
himself, said, with characteristic and
national cheerfulness, becoming an Of
fetal of the Republic.
L will see, sir"
And he disappeared. He went into
the departments, tortured a carr er
with an original conundrum, and heard
a good story in the mailing room, and
then came back.
Yes. sir, he replied to the great
man, there are, in addition to my
self, three clerks in the letter depart
ment, one in the mailing-room, four
carriers, three route agents, the mail
driver, and janitor."
Ah-h-h! l am glad there are so many.
l may in all that number find one who
is at his post"
And then he looked as impressive as
special agent, and was silent for
some minutes, while the impressive clerk
awaited his orders, and impatient men
behind him tidgeted and grun,bled.
Finally the great man said, with deep
solemnity:
" wish one three-cent stamp"
The clerk tore off the stamp and held
1T, waiting for the consideration. The
great man made a somewhat longer
pause than usual, he felt in his various
vest pockets, he gradually lost his look
of impressive rebuke, his chest cavcd
in, and he assumed the aspect of an Or
binary frail mortal, and he said:
" Ah-the fact is--Tm sure-eh-in
short, find that 1 have carelessly left
my purse at home--can you kindly"
The lmpassive clerk, with the faint
est suggestion of triumph in his eve,
waved the great man aside with:
:" Sorry for you, sir, but the clerk
who sells on credit is not in. What
does the next man want?"
And we felt SO good to see how that
clerk was taken down by the dignifed
man that we went away and laughed
for week. Peoria Rerie,U.

mother should rest until she has taught
her daughters to do we'll the following
things: To make cup of coffee; to

BrrrrR FROM THE SToRE.-Farmers.

BUTTER FROM THE STORE. Farmers,
farmers wives and their female help are
very often taken to task for making and
disposing OF poor butter. Many may
thus be blamed rishtfullv, but that the
blame lies here in all cases ain fully
convinced, from experience, is not the
case. Butter, we all know, is an actic!e
very sensible to outside influences, Cd
ors and taints, from whatever it may
come in contact with. Now how does
Mr.. Retail Shopkeeper manage with
his butter? would not here intimate
that all retailers are alike, or that the
course l here indicate is general, but
that some do, and that they are consid-
cred frst-class ones, too, is too painful
" true. Here is sisingle case. a
friend of the writer wanting some but
ter for family use, went to one of the
frst-class village stores and procured
some: what was the horror Of his house
keeper, when she opened the pail in
which it was brought in, to perceive a
strong kerosene odor, and upon tasting,
there was that same unmistakable kero-
sene taste! The butter was firkin but
ter, and evidently, aside from this faint,
a good article. How did tlis butter ac-
quire this odor and taste? Near by, in
the same apartment, were kerosene
casks and other kerosene vessels, and
kerosene was measured out here as
we'll as much other merchandise; the
butter was turned out of the tub on to
platform and covered over with pa
per or some light material, and from this
cut and dealt out. What wonder that,
under such circumstances, butter should
contract unpleasant smell and taste !?
Retail traders, in towns, are frequent
ly, dealers in general merchandise,
groceries, etc., and not sufficiently care
full in dealing out their butter often 60
from the molasses cask, potato bin or
kerosene cask to the butter tub, if they
are not all kept in the same apartment
with many other odorous articles, and
then the consumer puts all the blame
upon the poor and innocent farmer
who made the stuff" and sold it for
good butter. The farmer butter-maker
has sins and shortcomings sufficient
to shoulder without having to answer
for the careless groceryman and gener-
al retailer, SO please not add thereto
by asking him to share others faults.
