A freight train had struck an open
switch. and score of cars had been
piled up in the ditch. OF the three
tramps stealing a ride on the bumpers
two were taken out dead and the third
fatally injured. When the doctor had
told him that no could not live beyond
an hour, the wayfarer replied:
That's cutting it pretty short, but
I'm not kicking. I've no relations, but
thar's a feller out in Chicago I wish
you'd drop line to. His name is Sam
White, and we used to be pards.

cooked up his ears. The man had about
a pound Of beefsteak, and this he threw
to him and explained:
Now watch him. See his eyes blaze
