His Ample Apology.

The street car turned a sharp corner, and the man who was holding on to the strap swayed heavily against the high silk hat pertaining to a man who was sitting down. “Sir!” loudly exclaimed the indignant passenger, picking up his damaged tile from the dirty floor, “do you see what you have done by your beastly awkwardness?” “I beg your pardon, sir,” replied the offender with equal loudness, and in a tone of great surprise. “I didn’t know you were sitting there. I supposed you had given your seat to that old lady standing up in front of you. Extremely sorry, sir—extremely sorry!”—Chicago Tribune.
