Missed a Train That Was a Day late.

Missed a Train That Was a Day late.
When the Swift city division of the
Illinois Central was built it was known
as the Indiana and Illinois Southern.
1t was narrow gauge road; the road
bed was bad. the engines and cars
were built on a miniature scale, and.
while there was a schedule, had train
been on time the fact would have been
regarded as a miracle The road was
known as the Try Weakly" On one
occasion Josiah Mcconnell desired to
go to Switz City from Sullivan. but
missed the train by a minute or two.
The clock at the station showed that
the train had left Sullivan five min
utes ahead Of time. and Mcconnell
sued the railroad company for $4,000
damages. On trial of the case 1t was
proved beyond doubt that the tram
Mcconnell missed should have gone the
day before and was really twenty
three hours and fifty-fve minutes late.

turn to the old ways with the old
friends.

flowers in her bonnet, and she looked
