THE GENEROSITY OF IT.
‘ Owing to you not having screens in your traiu windows,' said the traveller, • I got a cinder in my eye going up to Masterton the other day, and it has cost me £2 to get it out. I want to know what you propose to do about it.’ ‘ Nothing, my dear sir,’ said the genial Minister of Railways. ‘We have no use for the cinder, and you are perfectly welcome to it. On a strict construction of facts you did go off with our property—the cinder, of course, was not yours—but we do not care to make trouble for you in so small a matter. Pray do not give the incident a moment’s thought.’
