1t was some time in July. The weather
had been pretty hot, and 1t was just the
sort of day for breeding tornado.
But am getting ahead of my story

way of anecdote. l was working on a
one-horse railroad in southern Kansas.

had TO be attended to in a hurry. There
were only seven locomotives on the
road, barring two or three that were
disabled

possible and started for Peterstowu

something unnatural about the appear

the duty of the executive committee
to nominate candidates for president,
first and second vice-presidents, record
