A Chicago man who was a passenger on a train that met with an accident not far from that city tells of a curious incident that he witnessed in the car wherein he was sitting. Just ahead of him were a man and his wife. Suddenly the train was derailed, and went bumping down a steep hill. The man evinced signs of the greatest terror; and when the car came to a stop he carefully examined himself to learn whether he had received any injury. After ascertaining that he was unhurt, he thought of his wife and damages. "Are you hurt, dear?" he asked. "No, thank Heaven!" was the grateful response. "Look here, then," continued hubby, "I'll tell you what we'll do. You let me black your eye, and we'll soak the company good for damages! It won't hurt you much. I'll give you just one good punch." —Howard Morse. 🇬🇧 @one_story | Культурные каналы

DAMAGES A Chicago lawyer tells of a visit he received from a Mrs. Delehanty, accompanied by Mr. Delehanty, the day after Mrs. Delehanty and a Mrs. Cassidy had indulged in a little difference of opinion. When he had listened to the recital of Mrs. Delehanty's troubles, the lawyer said: "You want to get damages, I suppose?" "Damages! Damages!" came in shrill tones from Mrs. Delehanty. "Haven't I got damages enough already, man? What I'm after is satisfaction." 🇬🇧 @one_story | Культурные каналы

DACHSHUNDS A little boy was entertaining the minister the other day until his mother could complete her toilet. The minister, to make congenial conversation, inquired: "Have you a dog?" "Yes, sir; a dachshund," responded the lad. "Where is he?" questioned the dominic, knowing the way to a boy's heart. "Father sends him away for the winter. He says it takes him so long to go in and out of the door he cools the whole house off." 🇬🇧 @one_story | Культурные каналы

A one-armed man entered a restaurant at noon and seated himself next to a dapper little other-people's-business man. The latter at once noticed his neighbor's left sleeve hanging loose and kept eying it in a how-did-it-happen sort of a way. The one-armed man paid no attention to him but kept on eating with his one hand. Finally the inquisitive one could stand it no longer. He changed his position a little, cleared his throat, and said: "I beg pardon, sir, but I see you have lost an arm." The one-armed man picked up his sleeve with his right hand and peered anxiously into it. "Bless my soul!" he exclaimed, looking up with great surprise. "I do believe you're right." 🇬🇧 @one_story | Культурные каналы

CURIOSITY The Christmas church services were proceeding very successfully when a woman in the gallery got so interested that she leaned out too far and fell over the railing. Her dress caught in a chandelier, and she was suspended in mid-air. The minister noticed her undignified position and thundered at the congregation: "Any person in this congregation who turns around will be struck stone-blind." A man, whose curiosity was getting the better of him, but who dreaded the clergyman's warning, finally turned to his companion and said: "I'm going to risk one eye." 🇬🇧 @one_story | Культурные каналы

CURFEW A former resident of Marshall, Mo., was asking about the old town. "I understand they have a curfew law out there now," he said. "No," his informant answered, "they did have one, but they abandoned it." "What was the matter?"

COWS Little Willie, being a city boy, had never seen a cow. While on a visit to his grandmother he walked out across the fields with his cousin John. A cow was grazing there, and Willie's curiosity was greatly excited. "Oh, Cousin John, what is that?" he asked. "Why, that is only a cow," John replied. "And what are those things on her head?" "Horns," answered John. Before they had gone far the cow mooed long and loud. Willie was astounded. Looking back, he demanded, in a very fever of interest: "Which horn did she blow?" 🇬🇧 @one_story | Культурные каналы

Johnny hasn't been to school long, but he already holds some peculiar views regarding the administration of his particular room. The other day he came home with a singularly morose look on his usually smiling face. "Why, Johnny," said his mother, "what's the matter?" "I ain't going to that old school no more," he fiercely announced. "Why, Johnny," said his mother reproachfully, "you mustn't talk like that. What's wrong with the school?" "I ain't goin' there no more," Johnny replied; "an" it's because all th' boys in my room is blamed old cowards!" "Why, Johnny, Johnny!" "Yes, they are. There was a boy whisperin' this mornin', an' teacher saw him an' bumped his head on th' desk ever an' ever so many times. An' those big cowards sat there an' didn't say quit nor nothin'. They let that old teacher bang th' head off th' poor little boy, an' they just sat there an' seen her do it!" "And what did you do, Johnny?" "I didn't do nothin'—I was the boy!"—Cleveland Plain Dealer. 🇬🇧 @one_story | Культурные каналы
