to our city last Monday, and Tuesday he

to have been. All went well till the trair
had started back at night, when the cars wert
80 crowded they had some trouble finding
seat. Some man, whose name we did no
learn, was crowding upon this lady more
than Charley thought polite or necessary land
he asked the man two or three times to pleas,
stop it. and each time got a pert answer. Al
length patience gave out. and Charley strucl
out from the shoulder. he was not crowded
any more. We commend the example Il
others. If 9 few more of our young mel

ladies would be much safer when forced t.
travel alone. Come again, Charley.
