The Druggist Watches You.

Druggists might be supposed to have
more than ordinary confidence in the
good intentions Of the world. Pre-
scriptions in many places are put ur
behind a framework in the back of
the shop, and customers are apparently
left 10 themselves while the COM
pounding is in progress. AS matter
OF fact they are watched most of the
time. In the framework behind which
the druggist stands, between the bot
ties which line the place many peep
holes are made, and through them
the man out O. sight takes frequent
observations.
You would be surprised" says one
druggist, ito know the class U-. people
who do not mind helping themselves
to anything they choose when they
think they are not seen. A cake
of soap or n bottle Of perfumery Is
slipped into a pocket, evidently with
out scruple. You see this showcase
filed with the finer kinds of soaps
and perfumery Is locked. If 1t were
not could hardly keep anything in It,.
Sometimes when small article Is
taken It Is not worth mentioning, If
the pilferer is a regular customer
whose trade might be lost. But If
anything of any value Is taken we
speak about it, and always after that
we are very careful about leaving q
llght-hngered customer in the shop
alone. New York Times.
