President Wilson an ardent advocate of every kind of social reform, is fond of telling a story about an old teamster.
This old fellow said to the treasurer of the concern one day:
Me and that off horse has been workin' for the company seventeen years, sir.
Just so, Winterbottom, just so, said the treasurer, and he cleared his throat and added: "Both treated well, I hope?"
The old teamster looked dubious.
Wall, he said, "we wus both tooken down sick last month, and they got a doctor for the hoss, while they docked my pay."
