A LONG RIDE.
"OM-Salt" was interested in the first
railroad that was built in the state a
very crude line, forty miles in length.
After it had been operated for .ears
the company was sued for damages. Old
Salt was called as a witness for the de
fence. Counsel asked a question during
his examination of Salt which seemed to
the judge to make It proper for plain
tiffs counsel to go into the general rep
utatinn of the road. He asked If It were
not true that numerous accidents had
happened on the line.
"N-n-n-ever knew but wu-wu-wu-one,"
was the answer.
"And what was that. Mr. Williams?
Explain the character of It In full,
please." .
"A ml-ml-mi-mlddle aged gi-gi-gl-girl
got on the t-t-t-train at" P.-p-p-Pontlac,
and d-d-d-died of old age before she got
to De-de-de-Detrolt."
