Will Do It Then.

“I travel on your road a good deal,” said the caller, “and I’d travel on it a good deal oftener if it wasn’t for its sharp curves.” “What’s the matter with the curves?” asked the elevated railway magnate. “They ought to be provided with a strong railing or something of that kind.” “What for?” “So a train couldn’t run off the track when it goes whizzing and grinding around one of them, and fall to the street below.” , “You’ve never heard of that happening, have you?” “No—not yet.” “Well, when it does happen we'll put something around those curves. Good flay.”—Chicago Tribune.
