It Was an Aecident.

•*I understand,” remarked the polite reporter to the close-mouthed manager of a Western railroad noted for its poor time, “that there was an accident on your road last night." “Oh, do you?” was the sarcastic reply. “Yes, sir.” “Do you know anything about It?" “ Only that it happened to the train which was due here at 8:15.” “That train came in promptly on time, sir," said the manager, firmly. "Are you sure of that?" “Of course I am." “Thanks. That must have been the accident referred to." And the reporter dodged out safely.
