A MARRIED Woman, whose lover was about to reform by running away,
procured¹ a pistol and shot him dead.

"Why did you do that, Madam?" inquired a Policeman, sauntering by.

"Because," replied the Married Woman, "he was a wicked man, and had
purchased a ticket to Chicago."

"My sister," said an adjacent Man of God, solemnly, "you cannot
stop the wicked from going to Chicago by killing² them."
