Show "You New Vlntlecl." A gentleman who lives out at Edgcv water was starting for town the other morning and he had occasion to cross the railroad track on his way to the station. Jogging along before him on the road was a peripatetic peddkr, who was evidently evi-dently a Hebrew. The latter had a bony horse, which ambled along iu some way, and the wagon in which the peddler siit was a very rickety affair. The Edge water wa-ter man heard the whistle of a train as the wagon neared the track, and he knew that the nioming express was due, but the Hebrew jogged on and apparently did not hear the train. As hia rig struck the track the engine of the express dashed by and caught the rear wheels. There was a cry and a crash. The Edge-water Edge-water man rushed toward the crossing just as the bewildered peddler pulled himself away from the wreck of his stock iu trade. . Straightening himself up and gazing after the fast receding train, he shook his finger at the rear coach and aid, reproachfully: "You never vistled!" i Chicago Herald. |
