One Too Many.
. The ’bus was rolling up Fifth avenue in a heavy groundswell,' on a murky night. Perhaps it was only that the chauffeur and conductor were both sleepy, or maybe it was only the mugginess that deceived them. On the corner at Thirty-fifth street stood, waiting to cross, a belated delivery boy, holding erect by the waist a dressmaker’s dress form. The chauffeur thought he detected a fare, and slowed his craft in to the curb. The conductor looked out through the fog, shook his head, and rang the bell to go ahead. “Room for one only,” he said, and the ’bus rolled on.—New York Evening Post.
