Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 38, Number 18, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 13 October 1905 — The Ironic Motorman. [ARTICLE]

The Ironic Motorman.

The car was ju«t getting under way, says a writer in the New York Sun. when two women, rushing from opposite sides of the street to greet each other, met right in the middle of the car track and in front of the car. There the women stopped and began to talk. The car stopped, too, but they did not appear to realize that it was there. Some of the passengers on the front seat began to make sarcastic remarks. Then the motor man showed that he possessed the saving grace of hunger. Leaning over the dashboard, he said, gently: “Ladies, would you like to have me get you a couple of chairs?”
