An old farmer came driving down to
the crossing one day Jpst as the gont

attention did he pay to Its clamor,
and so he happened to be right on
the track when the train arrived.
There was a crash and a cloud of
flying bits of wood and harness. The

of his wagon and shook his fist at
the gong. "If that darned thing
