A SLOW TRAIN
It was a new railway in a back-block district of New South Wales, and the trains were slow— very, slow ! On one occasion the driver of one of them found his progress still further retarded by cows which trespassed on the line, necessitating the stopping of the train while he drove them off. When this had happened for the third time in half an hour, a bored and weary passenger put his head out of the window and addressed the driver: 'Do you really mean to say,' he inquired gently, that we've caught up to that cow again!'
