When the late Louise Chandler Moul'
ton was In London In the late seven.
ties she noticed the servility, as rule,
Of the shopkeepers. 1t is comfort to
be sure not to be bullled into buying
things not really desired, but strongly
recommended by the tradesmen. In
her volume Of Random Rambles' she
recalls an incident In which the clerks
tongue got away with him.
"Quite sow Is a favorits formula
with the London shopkeeper, and this
habit leads him sometimes into ridicu-
lous blunders. For instance, ! went
one day into the shop Of London
druggist, or chemist, as they say there.

Presently my parcels were put up,
and began to count out the pay for
them. My Yankee arithmetic was
scarcely equal to the shilllngs and six
pences, not to say farthings, Of this
unaccustomed currency, and l said;
II am awkward with your money"
"Quite So madam" came the shop
mans reply with the accustomed sweet
readiness, and 1t was only by the
smile could not repress that he was
reminded of his unintentional discour.

The motto Of success was given In
this tale, told at a banquet:
A Swede among the miners in the
west was noted for always striking
pay dirt. His fellows thought that
there must be some secret to the un-
usual success of the Swede and ques-
toned him as to how he always sue
ceedcd in finding the spot where the
gold cropped out.

Ditch Has Made Strong Converts.

DR.. II. d. McCiiutock, Of The
Cornland country, was in Butler
Tuesday morniug ON business.
The Dootor reported TO the But
ler Democrat That the water in
river reached It's highest point
Monday light. When the plan
for the drainage district was first
taken up Dr. McCGntock was
one OF the most prominent Of
those who opposed she plan as
likely to fail in accomplishing It's
Intended results. After the
plans were adopted he paid his
assessment and hoped for the
best. The Doctor saws that but
for the ditch the present water
level would have been four feet
graater upon the bottoms in his
section, and he is much pleased
with the results as shown with
this test. The ditch has made
strong convert.
John A. Patterson, in from bis
home near Ny Shart on Tuesday,
said the ditch had saved an over
ilnw in tha0 section. He said the
river rose rapidly on Saturday.
and reached It's highest point
Monday evening when il began
to go down. The ditch was rum
ming bank full and about twice
as fast as the water in the main
channel of the river. Mr.. Pat
terson said II it had not been for
the ditch, they would have had
an old time overflow Butler
