speaker addressed the class upon the
subject of the man who was given

of them. He developed the theme to
the end that all had talents, and il

up to this time to find them. The

greeted with somewhat more than a
miniature cyclone. The wind unroof-
ed and destroyed several small build

in one glass front. Dan reckons that
he came closer to being smashed in
the twister than in any of his exper-
fence as a railway man. He had left
his train upon arrival and was out
a short distance in the yard when
the wind lifted the roof from a coal
shed and the flying debris landed
about IL feet from the place he was

petty officer called off the names of
seven, of which / was one, out of the
company and told us to go into the
office. We were appointed to cor
rect the examination papers of about
1000 men. He said he picked US be-
cause he thought we were the most

it was some job. 1t took us from

were in there the rest of the company
were pushing wheelbarrows, build
ing a roadway. The officer told us
he would have some more correcting
to do in a day or two.

in about five days. The several vac
