A New Yorker was once referring
to the stolidity and literal-mindedness
of the British shopkeeper, when he
was reminded of an amusing experl
ence of a friend in London.
Tbe American had been making
several purchases io a Jewelry estab
lishment. among others a silver set,
and finding that he had with him in
sufficient funds to defray the entire
cost, he desired the clerk to send the
set to his hotel, marked "C. O. D.”
Due not was made by the clerk; but
when the articles arrived at the hotel
the purchaser was surprised to find
that no charges had been collected.
Opening the package the American
was dumfounded to discover that
each piece of silver had been carefully
engraved, in a beautiful monogram.
