Show "Ketched" Cp with Them. Ignatius Donnelly sometimes tells this anecdote from the platform: An old farmer in the south was taking his first trip on a railway train. The equipment was poor and the road was rough and in bad condition, so that the train made poor time. Suddenly the engine whistled. "What's the matter?" asked the farmer, anxiously. "Oh," said a fellow passenger, pas-senger, "there are some cows on the track and they are whistling to scare them off." The train ran along slowly a few miles farther, when the whistle sounded again. The farmer suddenly started and then exclaimed: "Dlowed if we haven't ketched up with them cows again." |
