Too Late,

There is a story told of a clergyman
who ran like mad one morning to catch
a train he had been in the habit of
catching.
He missed it by a second or two.
So did a workman. The porter had
instructions to close the gate of which
he was in charge at a certain time. He
did it to the second. He jammed it
fast and true in the face of both cleric
and workmen.
The workman said something like
this: "* ! =! ! y"
And the clergyman said to the work
man: 81 am of the same opinion. In
your own way you have expressed 1t
admirably."-Ally Sloper.
