Interesting.

that's nay seat, and you've got TO
give II to mel"
The speaker was o woman In O Den
yer g. Rio Grande train that had just
pulled out Of Colorado Springs toward
Denver q few days ago. She spoke to
O neatly-dressed lady who sat gazing
at the mountains in the distance with
an air of interest that betokened her
eastern blood. The lady to whom the
remark was addressed paid no atten-
tion-she really was unaware that she
had been spoken to.
81 say, that's my seat, and I wantit,"
said the woman who stood up. This
time her tone was louder and more
commanding.
The other lady drew her head In the
window, and, adjusting her glasses, In
quifed in a modest manner II she had
been addressed.
"You bet" said the other; II said
that seat was taken"
An expression of combined amuse-
ment and indignation crept over the
well-cut features Of the eastern lady.
and she said: II think you r mis-
taken; there was no n and no bag
gage here when l entered the car"
With this she turned and refused to
heed the further remarks Of the WON
an In the aisle. All Of the passengers
had turned their attention to the rude
manner of the woman who was after
the seat, and some sneered while
others snickered.
She sat down uncomfortably close TO
the lady who had the seat and patted
her foot impatlently.
Suddenly she jumped up and seized
q hand bag that belonged to the lady
and strutted to the other end of the
car with 1t. She was disappointed,
however, for the owner Of the bag
failed to follow IL and yacate the seat,
as was the desire of the other party,
and q kindly passenger in the front
end Of the al took charge Of the bag
and preserved IL for its owner.
This infuriated the rude woman,
Walking back to the seat she had Gov
eted for the last half hour withou,
any Just claim whatever to 1t, she
Topped down in the lap Of the eastern
lady and sat there.
The lady on the seat was In q diem
ma she knew not how TO avoid with
out allowing herself TO be imposed on
"What claim have you to this seat?'
she asked, looking up at the big, red
faced woman, who seemed Is IL she
weighed a ton.
81 saw this seat as i came down the
platform and chose to occupy it, but
when I came In you were In 1t. 1 had
my eye on II first and l am going to
have It II I fight for It,"
"All right, lady (emphasized), just
get of my lap and l will let you have
the seat"
Sure you won't get II again II 1 gel
upP I've got to get out at Palmer Lake
and meet my sister, and she will want
the other half" said the essence o.
rudeness, shaking her greasy finger
uncomfortably close TO the nos Of the
woman she was sitting on,
"T1l not only agree to leave you the
seat, but will be pleased TO ride In tn,
next car as long as you are In here
was the reply, and the red-faced WON
an got up to allow her victim to arise
even then with an air that betrayed
her uneasiness lest she should have x
sit on the lady again to get possession
Of the seat,-Denyer Times.

We received $500 per month and board,
