A "Knee" Plus Ultra.
It was a Jefferson avenue car. A young gentleman ro3e and gave up his seat to a lady, and hi<s churn, who occupied the next seat, tencleied him a position on his knee, which he accepted. They chatted pleasantly, and were drolling back and forth about a knee-sy seat, and so on, when the ear stopped, and a young lady entered. The force of habit was too strong for the Defcroiier. He forgot that ha was uncomfortably perched on his friend's knee, and, jumping up gallantly, said in hi 3 most persuasive tone: " Take my seat, Miss." Lightning shot from the fair one's eyes, and the rest of the passengers buried their faces in their handkerchiefs, or looked out of the window. The friend, however, settled the matter by vacating his seat, and peace was restored. — Detroit Free Press.
