A rural correspondent of a certain well-known paper sent to his paper this intelligible accbuht of a local episode :

“A man killed a dog belonging to another man. The son of the man whose dog was killed proceeded to whip the man who killed the dog of the man he was the son of. The man, who was the son of the man whose dog was killed, was arrested on the complaint of the man who was assaulted by the son of the man whose dog the man who was assaulted had killed.”

This has suggested the more familiar but equally brilliant remark of the young man whose temporary condition required the services of a cabdriver. Leaning, back on the cushions he sighed and said: “How much pleasanter it is to be riding in a cab, thinking how much pleasanter it is to be riding in a cab than it is to walk, than it is to walk, thinking how much pleasanter it is to be riding in a cab than it is to walk.”
