gentlemen of pedestrian proclivities
came to grief and tho remainder of pas
scngers were furnished with amusement
to while away the climb up the horse
shoe" On reaching this well known
point one Of the parties suggested to
his companion that they drop off and
"cut across-lots" reaching the other
side of the shoe before the train. No
sooner said than done, but alas for hui
man calculations those wicked railroad
men taking advantage of the unprotect-
ed state of the two pedS sent their peck

the shoe at Il rate that struck terror in
to the hearts of the dupes to appear

platform of the coach and went whrling
down the dump with celebrity that was
somewhat astonishing to the victim.
The second. more fortunate, succeeded
in graSping the rear railing when a Wis
