The Store Is the Corner Loafng
Place, Where Owner and Clerks
Must Listen to the Troubles of
Everyone and Act as Messenger
Boy for Telephone Callers.

The troubles Of the druggists of to-day
are manifold. The average patron has
no conception of the trials to which he
is subjected. There are many trying
conditions he must contend with which
are peculiar to his profession alone.
There are some persons who think that
the drug business is a sweet dream. Far
from 1t. In the first place, il the drug
gist received compensation for every
service he performed the majority of
them would be muti-millionaires Half
Of his duties are fulfilled gratis. And
If he occasionally grows peevish and
flies of at a tangent. the patrons are al
ways ready to condemn him as the most
unobliging of men.
The telephone business comes very
near driving some druggists insane.
Scores Of persons call up the pharmacist
daily and in an authoritative tone ask
that he call this man or that young lady
to the phone. These persons do not seem
to have the least consIoeration. Some
times they expect the druggist to go a
square or perhaps two for the purpose
Of notifying some person that they are
wanted on the telephone. This nuisance
applies to the small drug stores as well

The Stamp Trade.
The postage stamp trade is also a
most trying thing. The public is under
the impression that every drug store is
a postal sub-station. and II the drug
gist is unable to fill an order for ten
or twenty-five. or possibly fifty stamps,
he is at once branded as a most neglect
full business man. The public does not
consider that the sale OF stamps 10
merely a courtesy at most pharmacies.
Unless the drug store is officially desig-
mated as a postal station. the pharma-
cist receives no profit whatsoever on the

ashamed Of himself. The strange part
of it is that these persons think they
are comforting a favor upon the drug
gist. and do not realize that they are
putting him to great Inconvenience.

painfully and seriously hurt by an
acciden. which occurred at her
home ON Thursday afternoon last.
While descending a short flight Of
steps at the toll house on the Lou

the ground, breaking one arm and
dislocating her collar bone where
ii is connected with the breast
bone. Both bones of the arm We're
fractured. one near the wrist and
the other near the elbow. The
fracture near the wrist is what is
called COLES fracture, always hard
to manage. DR.. York was called and
rendered the necessary aid. While
suffering quite good deal Mrs.
Berry is doing as well as could be
expected.

that the court by vote of to l
rejected the resolution to submit

About 500 names had been signed
to the petition asking the court to
