A Short Story, first published in November 1899 in an obscure Oswego, New York newspaper:
On one of the recent warm days a sour-visaged, fussy lady got on one of the smoking seats on an open car in the subway.
Next to her sat a man who was smoking a cigar. More than that, the lady, sniffing, easily made out that the man had been eating onions. Still more than that, she had the strongest kind of suspicion that he had been drinking beer. The lady fussed and wriggled, and grew angrier, and looked at the man scornfully. Presently she could endure it no longer. She looked squarely at him and said:
"If you were my husband, sir, I'd give you a dose of poison!"
The man looked at her. "If I were your husband", said he, "I’d take it!"
