SHORT-SIGHTED MAN.
In a Milwaukee street car the other day a nearsighted man was sitting near the fare«box reading a newspaper, when a lady passed up the aisle and accideutly dropped her handkerchief in the lap of the near-sighted man as she paid her fare. She did not notice her loss, aad after she had taken her seat a gentleman sitting opposite the near-sighted person touched him with his cane to call his attention to the handkerchief. The near-sighted man looked down, saw the white handkerchief in his lap, and immediately covered it up with his paper, blushing as he did so. Then he inserted his hand under the paper, tucked the handkerchief in out of sight, and went on reading.
