She Got The Seat 



Two young women in stylish attire en- 

 tered a trolley car on East Chelton avenue 

 near Boyer street, Germantown, a day or 

 two ago, but found only standing room, the 

 large number of passengers being on their 

 way to a local revival meeting. One of the 

 two attractive looking brunettes whispered 

 to her companion: 



"I am going to get a seat sure from one of 

 these men. Now you just keep your eye 

 on me." 



She looked about the well-filled car and 

 soon selected a sedate-looking gentleman 

 who is a member of the Germantown Busi- 

 ness Men's association and likewise a mar- 

 ried man. She approached him and boldly 

 blurted out: 



"Why, Mr. King, how delighted I am to 

 meet you. You are almost a stranger. Will 

 I accept your seat? Well, I do feel tired, 

 I heartily admit. Thank you very much." 



The sedate gentleman, whose name was 

 not Mr. King, and, of course, was a perfect 

 stranger to the young woman, listened 

 qnietly and then arose, inviting her to ac- 

 cept his seat, saying pleasantly and audibly: 



"Sit down, Jane, my girl; I don't often 

 see you out on washday. You certainly 

 must feel tired. How's your mistress; 1 

 trust she is well?" 



The determined but greatly chagrined girl 

 got her seat but suddenly lost her vivacity, 

 plainly exhibiting the humiliation to which 

 she had been subjected through her own for- 

 wardness. Philadelphia Record. 



"College men are great on fads," said a 

 prominent University of Pennsylvania senior 

 yesterday. "The latest thing in the way of 

 fad to hit old Penn is the rather nasty habit 

 of chewing tobacco. It used to be that to 

 smoke cigarettes was the height of a college 

 man's ambition, but in later days the cigar- 

 ette has spread among store clerks and 

 would-be students, so if you wish to be right 

 in the swim at college you must chew to- 

 bacco. The fad started at Yale last spring 

 and soon spread to Princeton. It did not 

 reach Pennsylvania until this year, but now 

 it is a frequent occurrence to meet an under- 

 class man on the campus with one jaw dis- 

 torted by the quid inside. The habit was 

 started, I think, by the members of the Yale 

 varsity baseball team, who believed that to 

 chew tobacco was tae first essential of a 

 good ball player. Accordingly the members 

 of the Yale nine all cultivated the habit, 

 and as a result, it is claimed, captured the 

 inter-collegiate baseball championship. All 

 the team will be chewing their respective 

 heads off this season, I surmise. Cultured 

 Harvard has so far not taken up the habit."

Charon laughed. 



"Buet that tall chap was a Senator or Con- 

 gressman on earth," he whispered. 



"Why FO?" asked the society reporter of 

 the Abestos Age. 



"Because as soon as he stepped on the 

 ferry he began to fumble about for a pass."
