A K[?]earted Official.

Guard (New York Elevated Railroad) —The doctor says I’m gifting dyspepsia. Superintendent (kindly)—l am sorry to hear that. What causes it ? “Why, sir, under the rules, I’ve got to take my meals while on duty on the train, and the doctor save eatin’ so fast will kill me.” “I see. You have to swallow your meals at the rate of twenty miles an hour. Well, I’ll order the engineers to reduce the speed to nineteen miles an hour at meal time.”— New York Weekly. >
