ARTFUL.
A well-known humorist entered a railway carriage, in which was one of those ladies who travel in constant fear., of collisions. At every jolt or sudden stop she cried out, “Have we left the rails? Is it an accident? Are we going to be killed?” Her fellow passenger paid no attention, but remained wrapped in silence. Presently the lady said to him, “Are you not afraid of railway accidents?” “Not I, madam,” answered he, reassuringly. “It has been predicted that I shall die on the scaffold.” She changed carriages at the next station.
