A Handy Man.

Two young ladies boarded a crowded street car and were obliged to stand, says the Washington Post. One of them, to steady herself, took hold of what she supposed was her friends hand. They had stood thus for some time, when, on looking down, she discovered that she was holding a man’s hand. Greatly embarrassed, the young lady exclaimed: “Oh, I’ve got the wrong hand!” Whereupon the man, with a smile, stretched forth his other hand, saying: “Here is the other one, madam.’’—New Orleans States.
