Heart Almost Broken.

“Madame, your husband was killed, I believe,” said a man, addressing a woman who lives on the border of the Indian Territory. “Yes,” she replied with a sigh, “and I could have borne the misfortune much better had not the circumstances of his death been so distressing.” - “What were the circumstances?” “Well, you see, he was killed by a man who had had no experience whatever in that line. It is sad, of course, to be killed by a professional, but to be shot down by a mere amateur is awful beyond description. My husband was a man of much experience, and to think that he was taken off by a scrub from St. Louis almost breaks my heart.” — Arkansaw Traveler.
