middle ofthe train toppled over and rolled
off the track, allowing the gap to be filled
by simply bringing the two euds of the
train together. No other cars were dis
turbed. The sinking of the new earth

scribers are unwilling to pay but because
they are negligent. Each one inagines
that because his years Indebtedness
amounts to but a small sum, the publish
er cannot be much in need of it, without
