Hard to Believe.
A station master requested an increase of salary and threatened to leave if he didn’t get it.
The superintendent replied to his request by relating a story.
“When I was a young man,” said he, “I once did as you are doing — I told the superintendent of the line I was then working on what you have told me. He refused my demand and I left, and would you believe it — that railway line is running yet?”
