The younger Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt had been away from home for several days. Came word one morning that she would arrive upon a certain afternoon train. Dutifully, Colonel Ted got out the family bus and departed for the station. Just as he rounded the corner, there came a warning whistle, and he rolled up to the station in time to see the train whiz by at forty miles an hour. On the rear platform, he beheld his wife waving frantically. Even as he looked, he saw her throw an important looking envelope in his general direction. The aim was not very accurate, however, and the envelope lodged in a thick and thorn-infested hedge. Heroically, the Colonel went after it, and at the cost of a few assorted scratches, rescued the missive. It read:
'Dear Ted: This train doesn't stop here.'
