_Warding Off a Catastrophe_
A fat woman entered a crowded street car and, seizing a strap, stood
directly in front of a man seated in the corner. As the car started
she lunged against his newspaper and at the same time trod heavily on
his toes.
As soon as he could extricate himself he rose and offered her his seat.
"You are very kind, sir," she said, panting for breath.
"Not at all, madam," he replied; "it's not kindness; it's simply
self-defense."
_Not What She Expected_
A charming, well-preserved widow had been courted and won by a
physician. She had children. The wedding-day was approaching, and it
was time the children should know they were to have a new father.
Calling one of them to her she said: "Georgie, I am going to do
something before long that I would like to talk about with you."
"What is it, Ma ?" aiked the boy.
