Finally the fellow who owned the well refused to let me have any more water, and I went back and told the driver that the man who leased the Great Lakes from St. Peter had locked them up and gone to bed.
"Well," says he, "you didn't fill your contract and I can't let you ride."
As I was going away, a fellow stepped up to me and says:
"You darn fool, they brought all the horses in the stable out and you've watered them one by one."
Say, I don't think I ever told you of the time I went to England. You see, I arrived at Liverpool and took the train for London.
The train seemed to me to be going remarkably fast for that country and I got sort of uneasy.
At the first stop, I went to the guard and said:
"Say, this is pretty fast traveling, isn't it?"
