Bound to Have His Joke.

Jokes about tbe slowness of trains, especially here in tbe south, maid an Atlanta railway man, also tire me a bit by their ancientness; but I heard a new and good one not long ago. It seems that trains are always slow and far between on a branch line in Misisisslppi. Nobody knows this better than the people at the junction, except tbe people on the line Itself. One day the newsdealer came to me grinning “A fellow from the other end of the line just Bald a funny thing,” he r» marked. “He had missed his train and there wasn't another for two hours. He came to my stall to buy noma reading matter to while away the time. He asked for a joke book, and I didn’t have any. Then he poked around for a while and said: ’Well, 1 guest I’ll take a time table Instead.’ ’’—Judge.
