A Careful Traveler.

“Don’t you want a ticket for the round trip?” asked the ticket agent at the Austin Depot, of a man who wanted to go to Galveston and back. “You mean a ticket to go to Galveston and come back on?” “Yes, you will save money by buying an excursion ticket.” “No, I reckon not. There are so many accidents occurring on your road that I probably will not neqfi any return ticket. If I buy a return ticket, and am killed, I’ll be out just that much. I’ve got to be saving with my money and lay up something for a rainy day.” —Texas Siftings.
