The Foolish Woman

A married woman, whose lover was about to reform by running away, procured 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 killing them."
