IN A HURRY.

Bilson, who is a very stout man, was running to catch a train the other day, when his friend Jones called out; “Hello, Bilson. In a hurry ? Going somewhere ?” Keeping his breath for other purposes, Bilson made no reply ; but he determined to take a terrible revenge. . About one o’clock next morning he called Jones up on the telephone. After a deal of ringing, a sleepy voice at the other end of the wire told him Jones was there. “That you, Jones?” queried Bilson, “What do you want ?” said Jones. “I’ve been in bed these two hours.” “I’m Bilson,” went on the other. “Remember seeing me running this morning—eh ? Yes? Well,*! was going somewhere, and I was in a hurry too ! Good-night !” * Then Bilson hung up the receiver and got mto hed a happy man.
