Full Inside.
It was a very wet night, and the last omnibus was full inside, when the conductor asked, "Will any gentleman ride upon the top to oblige a lady?" Thers 'was no response, so the inquiry vas repeated, but again there was no reply.
At last one of the male passengers remarked, "Are you sure she is a lady, and not a poor woman?"
"Oh, yes, she is a lady," said the conductor without hesitation.
"'A well-dressed lady?" again asked the passenger.
"Yes. a thorough, well-dressed, fashionable lady," said •.he conductor.
"Then I should think she can afford to take a cab home," said the passenger.
