The Cut Killed Him.

“Well, poor Jones died last night.” “Is it possible? I didn’t hear he was sick. What was the complaint?” “O, he died from the effects of a cut.” “Bow sad! was it a large cut?” “No, it was a small cut; but of a very fatal nature.” “Indeed; pray tell me about it.” “It was a small wood-cut of himself which was published in one of the daily papers. When he saw it he fell over at once and died in great agony.”— Lynn Union.
