ETHICS or CAR SEAT sELflsnNess.
why FUR Coilared Dude Was Made to
Ride Two Stations Beyond His own.

Why Fur Collared Dude Was Made 70
Ride Two Stations Beyond His own.
1t is very funny to see a selfish man in
the present keep-your-seat era OF city
travel laboring to establish a system OF
ethics, or what my friend Jinks calls ETH
quette, which will satisfy an uneasy con-
science.
Soon after o'clock the other evening a
crowded Third avenue car train went
northward, and, as is always the case,
there were more men than women sitting
and more women than men standing.
Among the latter were three Grand
street shop girls-loud mouthed. slangy
and pretty. They made no secret of what
they thought of the men who would not
rise and give them their seats. 1t was not
complimentary.
At Twenty-third street a remarkable
specimen of humanity-one of your smooth
faced. cigarette smoking, fur collared
tribe-having reached the end of his ride,
arose, and with an elaborate smile offered
his seat to one of the girls. A nimble
footed man near by slipped intoi it. Every
body laughed but the girls and the dude
The latter turned a look upon the en-
croacher which was calculated to crush

again, and as he passed the maidens said
with deprecating air:
THAT fellow is an awful cad-an awful
cad
Hes got face" said one of the shop
girls, and all three collected about the cul-
prit and proceeded to pass high favored
remarks about him, which he listened to
with apparent amusement.
sitting next to him got up and gave one Of
the girls his seat.
Another man who had not thought of
giving up his own seat turned around and
said:
eYou ought TO be ashamed of YOURSELF
You had no right to that seat. A man can
do with his seat what he chooses"
''That's what did said the culprit nm
blushingly. Il sat in it.
"You ought TO be ashamed
ION, give us a restri cried another pas
senger. Get up and give the lady your
own seat if You are so troubled about it. /"
Indignant passenger subsidies
BY this time Mr.. Dude, feeling that he
had made rather a neat exhibition of him
self, got near TO the door, when strong
hand was laid on his collar. He turned
and saw very angry workingman looking
into his eyes.
See here, said the latter in a tone which
made the fur lined fraud quail, I've a
good mind 70 black your eye for you"
"Wa-wa-what Is the matterf" gasped the
fellow.
'The idea Of your trying to do the purity
after riding all the way to your own sta
ton. You deserve a cowhiding. No, you
don't. Yell ride to the next station"
And amid the plaudits of the entire car
full the indignant workman gave the fur
lined collar twist that made its owner
black in the face. and would not let him
off until the train reached Thirty-fourth
street, two stations beyond where he want
ed to go.
1t was a grand revenge-New York Her

expected to leave on the first train. The
colonel took out map and saw that the
price OF a ticket to the point OF destination
was about Sl65. He handed the editor a
two dollar bill. explaining that he had no
blanks. As the editor left the colonel
thought Of him in every way except the
complimentary way, and hoped he would
never look on the mans face again.
Two years later a bill was before the leg

had an interest. He was there 70 put the
measure through. In casting about for
assistance he came upon the country edi-
