JUST A LITTLE TOO HASTY

Mr. Newlywed Resented What He Considered impertinence, but the .. Joke Was on Him. They were on their wedding tour, and Imagined that every civility given them related to their new condition of servitude. Having stopped at a way station, the bridegroom was - approached by the station agent, who asked: “Are you going to take the next train?” “It’s none of youfr business,” retorted the bridegroom, Indignantly, as he guided the bride up the platform, where they condoled with each other over the impertinence of some of the natives. Onward came the train, its vapor curling from afar. It was the last to their destination that day—an express. Nearer and nearer it came at full speed; -then in a moment it whizzed past and was gone. “Why in thunder didn’t that train stop!” yelled the bridegroom. “Cos you said ’twarn’t none of my bizness. I has to signal if that train’s to stop.”
