They even hire folks to help ’em growl!” “Isn’t the railroad business a little more favorable ?” * “Yes, they manage to run trains, but that’s about all.” . “Well, there must be some business in the West which holds its own,” persisted the Bostonian. “How’s matrimony?” . “Deader’n Joseph’s old boots,” was the confidential answer. “A year ago you could have married anything and anybody and counted on G per' cent, dividends, but the general depression has flattened matrimony until a widow worth $20,000 has got to hunt a man down with a gun 1 !”— Wall Street News.
