He Offers a Seat to a Lady In an Elevated Car UnexpectedThis said Mr Goslington I

confess is rather puzzling to me butinclined to think that I get

left in itThe elevated car In which I rode

home late yesterday afternoon wasas usual at that hour crowded andso as usual I hung on by a strapBut a few Stations along the man infront of whom I had been standinggot up and went out leaving a vacant seat which of course I mighthave taken but which I did not takefor a step or two further back in thecar there was standing holding onby a strap a young woman talkingwith a young man who was standingnear her holding on by the next

strapWhat I did was to indicate to thisyoung woman that here was a seatfor her at which she turned andstepped across the car as I supposedto occupy the seat that I had thusleft for her But just what she didwas this

Sitting down on one side of thisseat she edged along a little furtheron that side thus making her nextneighbor there a woman move alonga little and thus providing half theseat vacant and now she invited theyoung man with whom she had beentalking to sit down beside her whichhe did all this leaving me to standthere completely ignored in frontof

themSittingdown as she did she dis

commoded the person the womansitting next to her and crowding into sit beside her as he had to dothe young man with her

the person sitting next to himThus this lady would appear to haveproceeded when opportunitycame with entire disregard of everybody but herself seeking with utter selfishness solely her own comfort and pleasure or so we mighthave thought if it were possible tothink ill of any woman which I donot but while the situation was alittle puzzling it certainly did seemas if she had sort of made a gumpof me dont you YorkSun

Alleged Origin of Thackerays Storyof the 22 Foot Leap

Three college athletes have had anideal shattered by reading a paragraph in a speech that Sir G Trevelyan made in London before the

Circle at a recent dinnerThese men in addition to being athletes are devoted to Thackeray and

The VirginiansThere is a reference in that book

to the prowess of Georgeas an athlete particularly as a

broad jumper This is to the effectthat Washington was able to jump22 feet which considering that itwas away back in the eighteenth century some leap Although thebest American record now is 24 feet7 inches it has not been standingso long and in the early days ofAmerican athletics 22 feet remarkable performance in the broad

jumpThesethree used to pride them

selves on knowing about that performance credited to Washingtonand they pointed out how in 1876and for three years following theAmerican championship was won byleaps of less than 20 feet and thatfrom 1880 to 1885 inclusive thechampion did not do 22 feet although close to it on several occa

sionsSothey used always to tell folks

who asked about great broad jumpers that Washington held the American record from 1752 to 1885 Whatshattered all this was the followingfrom the Trevelyan speech-

I was present at a dinner whereThackeray discoursed to a delightfulaudience of young people about TheVirginians which he was then writing and which seemed to fill his mindto the exclusion of everything elseAmong other matters he asked usall around the table what was thewidest jump any of us had everknown and when we agreed upontwentyone feet he said Then Imust make George Washington jumpone foot more

It never occurred to me thatthere could he two ways of

Now without endeaving to goInto the merits of the case so put Iwant to say only that the headlinemeant that Mr Loomis was accusedof softsoaping the Japanese he addressed The only other authorityfor the spelling of the word comesfrom the sporting cartoonists whosework study carefully They areunanimous in spelling it bunk
