so fast that the entire train left the

cars piled up high An investigation
Immediately followed, and the cngi-
neer, i'll railroad parlance was put on

solemn terms that he went down tho
hill not faster than / 5 miles an hour,
but that just before reaching the bot
tom he lost control of tho airbrake, and
the speed became so great the train
could not keep the track; hence the

and he IS man GO years old. He says
that it was next to an impossibility to

caslon as notable for its viantls rs for
tho distinction of the guest and the din
ers. Judge Walker, the veteran editor
OF The Picayune, presided. He was a
great gormand, and after the manner
of gormands wished none of the fine
points OF the dinner to be lost to the
guest for lack of commentary.

"Ah here is something you will like

Walker. "but fit for the gods. 1t is a
Galicia ham" And then he went on
to tell how the hogs from which these
hams were obtained were fed only on
chestnuts, making tho flesh luscious and
delicious.
Perhaps so, very interesting i'll
