Rapid Transit.

An express on a certain railroad was
tearing away at a wild and awe inspir-
ing rate of six miles an hour, when all
of a sudden it stopped altogether. Most
of the passengers did not notice the
difference. but n of them happened
to be somewhat anxious to reach his
destination before old age claimed him
for its own. He put his head through
the window to find hat the cause Of
the stop was a COW on the track. After
awhile they continued the journey for
half an hour or so. and then-another
stop.
Whats wrong now" asked the i'm
patient passenger Of the conductor.
"a COW on the track"
But I thought you drove it Off"
S we did" said the conductor. "but
We caught up with it again-"-Ladies'
