What She Wanted.
A woman rushed into a Harlem drug store the other day. In one hand she carried an empty quart bottle and In the other she tightly grasped a fivecent piece. “Let me have five cents’ worth of ozone at once,” she said to the druggist “What did you say, madam?” the druggist asked. “Some ozone.” “Why, madam, there’s ozone In your bottle now.” “Sir, I do not want to be Insulted.” replied the woman Indignantly. “I know what the doctor told me to get and If you don't keep It let me know. Have you got any ozone or not?” “Well," said the druggist very deliberately, ‘ozone’ Is an element In the air we breathe, and unless the air in your bottle has become contaminated It has about as high a percentage of It as any I have in the store. I would suggest that possibly your physician meant that you should get some benzoin.” “Oh, yee,” hastily replied the woman “that’s It I knew It was something like ozone.” She took the five cents’ worth of benzoin, which was almost lost sight of on account of the ozone which still remained tn the quart bottle.
