"ZEB S BARGAIN COUNTER.
A True Story by j. V, Berry, Of New

Zebediah johnson, who, until n
short time ago, lived in a small town
in the Mohawk Valley, obtained job
in New York After Ieb had estab-
lishcd himself and wife in a little fiat
on the west side, he went to work,
and on every Saturday night, regu-
larly brought his wages home, which
to his wife seemed large sum, and
which in spending she practiced all
sorts of economies, one of which was
to attend all sorts Of bargain sales.
She also frequently admonished her
husband if he could be as economical
as she was, they would soon be rich.
Zeb on one Saturday was notified
that his wages had been raised sew
eral dollars per week, and naturally
felt good, and determined to spend
the increase of that week in giving
himself treat and tell his wife that
the raise in his wages did not COM
mence until the week following. In
order to make his own extra cash go
as far as possible, the wife decelver
started down Park Row with the in
tent of including the Bowery in his
route home. When he arrived at Cha
than Square he noticed sign, "Hot
Rum. 6 Cents" "That is alright, y
soliloauized Zeb, and in he went with
request to the bartender to set ur
his hot rum, with plenty Of hot wat
er. "Say, young feller,' said the
Bowery Mixer, "you don't want nc
hot water, hot water would cool that
rum off" Zeb, on account of the cut
in prices, absorbed two drinks, and
then proceeded on his way. About
two blocks further up the street he
spied sign which read, "SchooneI
of Beer, 3 Cents. " This appealed to
the man from the Mohawk Valley
who went in and drank three OF the
big glasses in quick succession.
BY the time Zeb arrived at Crane
street the beer and rum had become
thoroughly mixed. So much so that i
made Zeb stop and lean up agains
one of the columns of the elevated
station, where he stood for few
moments, lost apparently IN deel
study. Then his face lighted up will
satisfaction. Calling to passer by
who stopped for a moment, he SAID
"Shay, young feller, you want to ge
