VERY ANNOYING, INDEED.
In a crowded omnibus a stout wo-
man vainly endeavored to get her
fare out of the pocket of her cloak,
which was tightly buttoned as a pre-
caution against pickpockets. After
she had been working in vain for some
minutes, a gentaeman seated on her
right said, "Please allow me to pay
your fare'. The lady declined with
some ascerbity and recommenced her
attacks on the pocket.. Ater these
had continued for a time her fellow
passenger said, "You really must al-
low me to pay your fare,t You have
already- undone my braces three times
and I cannot ,stand it any longer."
