SHE PICKED THE WRONG MAN Woman With Prominent Jaw Did Not Get the Seat She So Evl- dently Desired. She had a jaw that somehow re- minded one of the cowcatcher on a lo- comotive—perhaps because.it was al- ways somewhat in advance of her countenance. Also there was a look of determination in her eyes, and it was evident, from the manner in which she elbowed other passengers aside, that she had no desire to be re- garded as a shrinking violet. Yet she was rather good looking, and she was dressed in such a manner as to indi- cate that she was free from the ne- cessity of practicing economy. After she had fought her way into the car she looked at the men who were oc- cupying seats and then stationed her- self in front of a smallish, gray-haired gentleman whose expression was kind and even lamblike. The woman engaged his attention by kicking his toes. He curled hisfeet back under the seat and continued to read his paper. Then she “hemmed” loudly and burped against his knees. He looked up at her, indulged in a sigh of weariness and tried to make room for her by crowding closely to the woman who eat at the left of him. She declined to budge, however, and the old gentleman again turned his attention to his paper. Exasperated by such ungallant be- havior on his part, the woman with the decisive jaw said in tones that in no wise suggested the haunting mel- ody of a tinkling brook: - “I suppose I'll have to stand all the I've heard of men who “Madam,” the little old gentleman mildly remarked, “I would give you my seat, but I'm saving it for a lady.” ~—Chicago Record-Herald.
