Man comfortably seated in crowded suburban train. Numerous tired ladies standing in aisle. Man becomes thirsty. Puts overcoat in seat to hold it for him and goes forward to get drink. Man standing up beckons lady. Lifts up overcoat and offers her vacant seat. Lady takes seat with profuse thanks to man standing up. Thirsty man returns. Finds lady in his seat. Cannot swear owing to presence of ladies. Takes overcoat from innocentlooking man standing up. Does not thank him. Looks daggers and brickbats at everybody. Goes forward with murder in his heart and .gives vent to his feelings on platform' outside. No particular moral about incident, but much comfort. And it actually happened.—Chicago Tribune.
