How He Got Even.

A half-witted fellow was traveling by railway for the first time. Having swatted himself, he did not see the use of keeping a bit of cardboard, so he threw his ticket out of the window of the carriage. Consequently at the station where the tickets were looked at he had to pay. At his journey’s end he had to acknowledge that he had been “done.” A few weeks later some men in a railway carriage saw this same an laughing innocently to himself in a corner of the compartment. They inquired the reason of his merriment. He replied by telling then what he had suffered on his first railway journey. “But,” concluded he, triumphantly “I’ve done ‘em this time.”

“Well what have you done?” asked his companions.

“Why,” replied he, “I’ve taken a return ticket and I ain’t a going back again.”
