“The wages are all right, but
I'm keeping a horse out of a job.”
Engine Captured Cow
A ease was being heard in court
in which a farm er was claiming
indemnity for a cow killed by a
railway train. Counsel for the
defense put many tedious and
superfluous questions.
“Was the cow on the track ?”
he asked the engineer.
The engineer had had about
enough. He replied:
“No, of course not. She was
in a field half a mile away. But
when it saw her, the engine left
the rails, jumped the fence, and
chased her across the field and up
a tree. There it strangled her to
death.”
.tlore Self-Restraint
Two angry candiuates of oppos­
ing political beliefs rushed a t each
other. Friends stepped in to sepa­
rate them. Each struggled to get
a t the other. The first, seeing the
extremely violent efforts of the
nther exclaimed, “More of you
men hold Jones! One man can
hold m e.”
