Some of the boys in the wagon shop are not at

other fellow's-write about that of which you know
most. You may feel sure that will not pub

when the dust had cleared away little. there lay
his devilship stretched upon his back amidst
what looked like a smashed up passenger coach.
When he had recovered we asked him how it had
happened. He seemed little dazed, but said
that he thought it had been case of instantane-
Gus destruction. He now feels content to sit on
