SCENE IN THE FLOATING SALOON.
 ing him up two or three times day and let him float down to Carondelet, where the police usually pulled him out. John son would lie on the shore until his clothes dried and then take street car back, after which he would go to work again. His employer seldom said anything beyond a mild remonstrance, for Johnson was good bartender, and they could not drown him. Upon these occasions when he re- turned he was very careful not to fall over- board until he had filled up again.
 Ht last the neop)e~ at Caronde}et would not rescue Johnson any more, and he had to float down to Ste. Genevieve before he could get any one to pick him up. John son did not mind the trip so much, but he hated to have the fishermen call him names as he passed by. His employer did not like to pay his fare back from places so far. Johnson was. also afraid that the people of Ste. Genevieve would get tired pulling him out and let him float down into the gulf of Mexico some day.
 These fears induced him to swear off, and that was the mistake of his life. The same day he fell overheard, and he went to the bottom like lump of lead. No one was ever positively certain why Johnson foated but he was man of exceedingly buoyant disposition anyway. The fatal mistake he made when he quit drinking cost him his life.
 The next bartender was man named Sam Hunter. Like his predecessor, he was good fellow. He did not drink to excess and seldom fell overheard, but his employ CT made him wear the life preserver just as precaution.
 Sam is dead now too He met an un- timely death in remarkable manner One day when he went up town he forgot to take off the life preserver He got into fight with a cowboy from the territory. Tho fellow shot poor Sam fully 50 times, but every time the bullets lodged in the life preserve, and Sam had no idea he had been hit. After the fight was over Sam went back home. He never thought about examining his life preserver. About o'clock in the evening he made misstep and fell overheard. He did not cry for help because he relied on his life preserver helping him out, but it had been filled so full of lead by the cowboy that it sunk to the bottom and carried poor Sam with it ;R spite of lis desperate efforts to swim
 Xedt makes all his bartenders examine their life preservers twice day, now and he is getting so careful that he does not have more than two or three men drowned during the business part of the week.

JOHNSON COULD NOT SINK.

Was of Buoyant Disposition and Bibulous Habits-For Particulars Inquire Below. Louis Zeidt is the proprietor of floating saloon where n life preserver is given away with every glass of beer When the patron of the saloon reaches shore, the life pre- server must be returned, but the saloonist considerably allows the beer to be kept by the purchaser. Zeidt's floating ginmill is anchored in tho Mississippi river off the tough suburb of St. Louis, Little Oklaho- ma, and to that journal of civilization, the bright and entcrprising St. Louis Repub- lie, we are indebted for a description of 1t. It is averred by this eminent authority that in the good old days, when times were flush and there were no pennies or nickels except a few brought from what was then the effete east, Zeidt collected all tho pen nies and nickels he could find in that part of town and tied them in sack, Then he took it out and sunk it in the river. He did this so that his customers could not pay him with the small coins On every pleasant day since the advent of the hard times era he has been out fishing for that sack of small coins.
 Zeidts houseboat is a miniature arsenal. There arc firearms of every description back of the counter, but shotguns arc the
 
 are at least two dozen guns. Some of them are out of repair and some in good order, but none of them is more danger ous than the liquor he sells. One drink is dangerous, and two are fatal.
 The great difficulty with which the pro prietor of the saloon has to contend is to get bartenders. There are men enough but only n few of them are willing to wear life preservers while on duty, and this is required because they will drink and fall overheard The proprietor of prosperous saloon cannot afford to have bartender drowned during business hours.
 Zeidt used to have a bartender named Johnson. He was a treasure He was whole souled fellow, of a jovial tempera- ment, and was usually gloriously drunk. Zeidt did not care for that, however, as Johnson got so full that his hide was stretched so tight that he could not sink. He drank so much that there was no room for the water to get into him. No matter how often he fell overheard, he f1oated like cork. He was strictly waterproof. The first time he fell overheard his employer thought Johnson was going to drown, but he lay quietly on the bosom of the river and fioated dow.sthe stream until the steamer picked him up and brought him ,haGk-as time wore on J Johnson got drunk
 pftener than before. The thought
 might get sober and fall overheard
 ko prey upon his mind
 to go and fill up and then fall
 purposely to find out whether
 unk or sober. That was all
 for he seldom got more than
 the river before he was picked
