The Little Woman’s Retort.

’’i'he mild business man Was calmly reading his paper in the crowded trolley car. In front of him stood a little woman hanging by a strap. Her arm was being slowly torn out of her body, her eyes were flashing at him, but she constrained herself to silence. Finally, after he had endured it for twenty minutes, he touched her arm and said: “Madame, you are standing on my foot.” - ’ “Oh, am I,” she savagely retorted. “I thought it was a valise.” —Kansas City Independent.
