Coming Down Town.

He started to the station: he
Had half an hour to spare.
A coal cart held him quite while
Ere he had gone a square.
He started on; this time he had
Ten minutes to the good.
A man drove on the track ahead
And spilled load OF wood.
Again the car went sizzing on.
He had five minutes still.
man with eighty barrels on
cart, then took spill.
Again a start; the station now
Was still some blocks away.
A wagon drove upon the track
And lost a load of hay.
And when he reached the station. he
Looked on the board and. 10!
The train he'd hoped that morn to take
Had gone an hour ago.
And then-he was worldly man
And sometimes indiscreet-
He tore his hair and cursed the things
That bungle up the street.

1t is stated that the divers who exam
ined the hull of the Columbia few days
