Chinaman Gave Up His Seat.

A Columbia avenue car, with a good
crowd aboard, was vending it's way up
Ninth street late one Saturday evening.
Only few of the gentler sex were on
the car and these had seats. Among
the seated passengers were two severe
looking clergymen, several prosperous
business men and a docile Chinaman
who carried a large bundle on his
knees.
At Arch street a middle-aged woman
who carried a small valise, got on the
car. 1t jolted along and the slender,
tired-looking woman glanced around
appealingly for a seat. She stood close
to where the two ministers sat and her
face wore an expression of pain as the
car ratified along and she clutched nery-
ously at the handstrap. The Chinaman
rose from his seat, and, holding his
heavy bundle with his left hand, tap
ped the woman with his right hand
gently and motioned her to the seat he
had vacated. She accepted the favor
with a smile and a gracious THANK
you, sir"
All the men seated in the car stared
at each other as if each Of them had
received a rebuke.
"That Chinee is all right" remarked
the conductor, according to the Phila-
delphia Record. "He's a good sample
of those supposed barbarians we are
endeavoring so hard to civilize."
