She Got the Worst of It.

There was but one vacant seat ir the car on the elevated road, and I; was next to a woman, not handsome, but highly dressed. A middle-aged man entered, and on seeing him approach the seat she put her muff in it. Observing her little game, he sauntered aimlessly along, and sat on the roll of fur. Her indignation and surprise knew no bounds, and she looked around the car for sympathy, but everybody seemed to be on the side of the man, who never cracked a smile, nor showed by any sign that he knew what he had done. A salts bottle in the muff got the worst of the incident, and t.he car was filled with a highly ammoniated odor foi the next hour. Somehow or other people like to see an Impolite and shrewish woman get the worst of it. In this case, there was a great deal of quiet laughter among the passengers who witnessed the affair, and more than one was heard to remark that it served her right.—New York Herald.
