they demonstrated, at once, their
ability to stand an amount of pound

would reduce wooden car to the pro

collision. what was left of the wooden
cars was left on the spot; but the
steel cars were unearthed from the
wreckage OF their older and frazier
brothers; their trucks were replaced
beneath them, and they were hauled
on to the car shops to have the kinks
taken out Of them.

l find that six thousand dollars for g
sable coat is only fair price, in fact

sable. AS witness this talk that

"Yes." said I, something especially
fine-say about six thousand dol

He smiled, 1--WE haven't anything

"And you sell coats at such prices?"
