CHEAPER THAN DAYLIGHT.

A locomotive engineer running on the “Big J.'” route out of New Orleans was in the habit of rolling into the terminus of his run, three or four hours after sunrise, with the headlight of his engine brightly blazing, and his attention had been called to the fact several times by certain officials. Finally, the General. Superintendent tackled him, and said: “See here, haven’t you been on the road long enough to learn that you should put your headlight out after sun-up? We can’t stand no such expense as that, you know.” “Well,” replied the engineer, “that may be all right enough from your standpoint, Mr. Superintendent; but the cold facts are that, with such an infernal poor quality of oil as you fnrnish, it’s a blamed sight cheaper than daylight.”—Texas Siftings. A tourist leaning out of a nook, Fell cm his head near a brook, The hurt he received St. Jacobs Oil relieved, And he says it cured “like a book." Great oaks from little acorns spring, Great aches the little too-coms bring; But for every com That ever was bom, St. Jacobs Oil is just the thing.
