News From Our
Roving Reporter
(By I. B. DARLING)
The topics for the week—Well,
after three weeks suffering under
a doctor s needle, I was discharged
and sent home for recovery and to
get well the best I can—After all,
everything that is left in this life
is crowded on old Mother Nature
for jier consideration After all. I
was glad fo gt’t home. Here is what
happened to me, my little bank roll
stayed in Mineral Wells and I came
home — Not able to work for sev- ,
eral days, anyone doesn't kjiow hoW
to appreciate good old well days,
but anyone doesn’t know when hard
luck will overtake you so start now
thinking about keeping yourself
well and regdy for the hard kicks j
of life.
Well, looks like men's clothing are
getting scarce—reading headlines of
a large metropolitan dally, I read
"Railway President to Testify in
Union Suit.”
The buses have a new mottor—
"The public be jammed."
The best place to find a helping
hand is at the end of your arm.
Several years ago I was traveling
the state of Arizona was working
the towns of Halsbrook and out
from this place is where the petri-
fied forest Is located—*} I wanted
to see the big trees—This was out
on a desert so X went—quite a few
people were in the bunch to go
through the forest—There was a
fellow going with us to show us
through- Jle was a very nice talker
so he started telling us about this
rare place—said when he first came
out there the huge trees were stand-
ing up . and said the leaves were
petrified and the leaves were still
on the trees—said the birds were
sitting on limbs of the trees and
they were petrified and he also said
the last songs the birds sang were
out to one side petrified. This didn't
look true to me but I couldn't dis-
pute It because I didn't know the
facts and he did.
On this same trip, I worked my
way up through the state of Neva-
da. reaching Carson City, the eapi-
tol of the state, and there to my
surprise found one of the smallest
capitols in the United States. The
capitol wasn't any bigger than the
courthouse of Coleman county Just
about ten miles from Carson CUy
was Virginia City, one of the big-
gest silver mining towns in the U.
8 A —one silver mine paid off the
Ctvtf War debt I was calling on
the grocery trade there The town
was all undermined—One grocer fold
me he went down one morning to j
open up his store and to hts sur- j
prise he didn't have any—said the
store had sunk over night Info one
of these underground tunnels. I
was traveling on the train In those
days—In fact, I would have been
scared to drive a car In that hilly
country I huve always heard it said
in traveling you wouldn't go very
far until you would find a k<xk|
place for a mountain That would
not be true with that western coun-
try for there isn't anything but
mountains
I shall never forget the train
pulled Into Seattle. Washington—
I got off, began fo call on the
stores as I walked up fo one big
grocery store Just as I had enter-
ed the door a huge voice called out
to me, "Just wait a minute, son, I
want to tell you Just where you are >
from." I had never spoken a word.
He said, “You are from Texas, come
on in." I was so dumfounded. I
couldn't tell him what I was doing,
then he said to me, "I have never
seen a Texan, but what looked like
he needed a glass of milk." So we
had a nice visit and I found out
he was raised in Dallas. So in trav-
eling you find good old Texans all
over the 48 states.
