Evening Republican, Volume 14, Number 310, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 30 December 1910 — Reasonable Request. [ARTICLE]

Reasonable Request.

A gentleman riding in a crowded car of a Boston street tunnel train the* other day won the admiration of hia fellow passengers by stoical endurance of pain. A young woman, adorned with a sample of the last, word in millinery, entered at the Winter street station. She slowly revolved to face out the side door, and tbe« edge of her hat brim rubbed into tha man’s face. He bent backward, but the lady continued to revolve. Retreat was impossible because of the crowd. Tears of anguish streamed out of his other eye, yet he did not falter. In a quiet, musical voice he said: “Pardon me, madam. Would you mind removing your hat-brim from my eye for a moment? I desire to wink.”
