How the Tornado "Works."

Pages of magazine and columns Of
newspaper space have been devoted to
graphic and vivid, if not lurid, descrip-
lions of the tornado in action, says
the Kansas City Star. But William
Soda, farmer who never writ line
of literature in his life, expressed it all
in a single short paragraph, in a per-
fectly clear and understandable way,
when he was asked by reporter about
the twister that had made a complete
wreck of his home:
'How long did the storm last?''
"Feller," he replied, II don't believe
she worked more than two minutes, but
while she worked she worked like
the devil"

Attitude.


My observation in life leads me to
believe that nearly every human be-
ing has an aptitude; that is, there is
something that he or she can do bet
ter than all other things. One in a
hundred, again, has a remarkable apti-
tude, and in one in a thousand this ap-
titude is developed into something ex-
traordinary. 1t then amounts to natur-
al insight and constitutes genius. Now,
perfect system of education, if it
could be devised, would be one which,
while developing to the fullest extent
all the faculties, would allow free play
to the special aptitude. But this is
just what our American school system
fails to do, and does not aim at.-Auto-
biography of Charles Francis Adams.
