lgnatius Donnelly sometimes tells this
anecdote from the platform: An old
farmer in the south was taking his first
trip on a railway train. The equipment
was poor and the road was rough and in
bad condition, so hat the train made poor
time. Suddenly the engine whistled.
Whats the natter asked the farmer,
~anxiously. "Oh," said a fellow pas
senger, 'there are some cows on the
track and they are whistling to scare
them off," The train ran along slowly a
few miles farther, when the whistle
sounded again. The farmer suddenly
started and then exclaimed: "Blowed If
we haven't ketchei up with them cows
again"
