Nobody's Business
Written for The Chronicle by Gee
McGee, Copyright, 1927.
When I Wps a Boy
I wan rained 10 miles from u railroad
and I was 10 years old before 1
saw that railroad. I've traveled ull
over this country during the past few
years and have seen everything from
New York's subways to Hollywood's
studios. I have sailed down the JSt.
Lawrence rapids, and have let tho
mist of Niagara Falls settle on my
specks. I have looked long at the
Grand Oanyon and have admired
Havana's Morro Castle, BUT?
The greatest sight that 1 ever Ih
held?-the most awe-inspiring thing
that ever paraded before my eyeballs?was
the first train I ever saw.
It rushed up to the station where I
stood trermbling like a wad of jelly,
steam was oozing from several apertures
and the whistle was a-fixing to
blow, and the engineer was hanging
out of the cab window and the conductor
was swinging pn tho steps of
the passenger coach, and a fiagmnn
was putting on brakes at the end of
the other coach, and everything was
great. >> .
That was the longest and the biggest
train that ever trod the face of
the earth. lOouuting the engine and
the tender, and them two coafcher,
that train was as long as from here
to the end of my unpaved sidewalk*
I pulled and strained to get loose
from my father so's I could run out
in the woods and hide from that horrible
train, but he held me.
The engine was exactly the size of
the treasury building in Washington,
and those beautiful coaches looked
like they would hold a thousand children.
(I saw that same train a few
years afterward, and the little engine
looked so pitiful I wanted to pet it
and put it to sleep. The two coaches
were about 20 feet long.)
But them days was some days. I
went baowr home and -told -the- other
"rubes" about what I had seen and
heard, but none of them believed me.
They had heard the train blow
"plumb" over to our house, but they
had no idea that it wasn't like a mule
or a cow. When I tried to explain
that nothing was pulling it, my brother
Pete knocked me down. He said
he knowed as well as he ever knowed
anything that mules and hosses "had
-to puil the train along, or it never
would get nowhere."
My, how times have changed! Why
the spoken word has even changed.
When I was a kid, we had taters and
squashes and cowcumbers and lettis
and rosen-years, but now they are potatoes
and squash and cucumbers and
lettuce and roasting-ears. A hen was
a hen then, but now she's a fowl or a
bird. We drank our milk out of gobblers
in those days, but we called 'em
goblets today. We enjoyed mushmelons,
but you must say cantaloupes
now. Babies sucked then, now they
nurse. IWe also had simmon beer and
cracklins and corn dodgers and beef
(not steak) and goobers and hippens
and galhisses and reezins (not rais-ins)
at Christmas time and thumbpapers
and we skeeted on the ice and
we set .in the pi-izzer and we slept in
a trunkle-bed and we et our dinner
and washed (not bathed) once a
week, mebbe; and we did lots and lots
of things that arn't being done now
since we've all got so smart.
An optimistist is a farmer who will
continue to grow cotton and expect to
make t decent Hving by so doing.
A pessimist is a farmer who buys
the lowest grade fertilizer he can get
and consoles himself by saying that
"if it don't rain I won't lose much, or
if the boll weevil comes I won't be
plumb ruint."
A flapper is p girl whose mother
does all the housework and permits
her to sleep till 10 o'clock every morning
so's she can flap till 12 o'clock
every night. V
An egotist is the guy who thinks
everybody feels embarrassed because
the third button on his vest (from the
top) is busted off.
A gossip 1* (usually) a woman who
tells all the bad things she hears after
multiplying the same by 5. but
won't believe anything good she hears
about her neighbor.
A miser is a man who won't buy on
the instalment plan and won't attend
church for fear that he will be cad led
on for a nickel, but Anally dies hungry
and leaves his property to a ast'
of spendthrifts* who^ dissipate It with
much. haste.
A "curious man" is most any men
that attends to his own business and
lets your business alone and pays his
honest debts with interest and totep
his money in his pocket and refuses
to vote and, doeant care anything
about the Daughters of the American
Jtevolution or the Y. M. C. A.

Horses Loosing Out
In Larger Cities
The horse is being legislated off the
streets of many American cities today.
In Washington, I). C., horse-drawn
vehicles are forbidden to use Sixteenth
Street, a main artery which
leads to the northwestern section of
the city. Detroit, Mich., has ruled
the horse off nny street that has been
officially designated as a boulevard.
| Chicago is considering barring
horses and wagons from the busy loop
districts during certain hours, and in
j Los Angeles, Cal., the horse-drawn
vehicle is kept from the central business
zone during certain hours of the
day.
Not long ago a big business house
in u large city operated 822 syagona.
Now it operates 536 trucks, thus rei
moving 287 grumbersome vehicles from
j the streets. The big department
stores of the country, it has been estimated,
operate 27,000 motor or
electric trucks but only 500 horses, or
about one horse to every score of
stores.
In Chicago, citing another case,
there are 017 bread routes. Of fhe3e
about 700 are covered by electric and
motor trucks.
There are two sides to this situation,
moreover. Not only does legis- j
lation against the horse speed up
traffic In busy business sections, but
it also appears to be an actual kindness
to the horse itself.
| Smoke-heavy, gas-heavy streets;
.fenders that scrape against its legs;
I sirens that shriek in its ears make
life miserable for the horse on the\
city streets in this uge of speed.
When the Dodo Died
When a man ia dead as the dodo he
is dead as u doornail, which ia wry
'dead indeed. The chances of resuscitation
are equally poor in both case*.
The doornail never lived and therefore
its death can be regarded as
I eternal, having neither beginning nor
I end. It ia dil" erent with 'the dodo.
The dodo not only once lived but wa.j
}the chief inhabitant of Mauritua an
(island of Madagascar, now a part of
.the British family of nations.
Etymologists' think the name
| dodo" was derived from the P<jrtuKuese
word "duodo," meaning foolish
or ailly. He that as it may, the dodo
was a goodnatured, slothful and
rather stupid kind of clumsy pigeon
that could not fly. Its wings were
merely rudimentary. When > crew
of Portuguese sailors touched at
Mauritius for provisions in 1610 thea^;
clumsy birds were waddling all ubout
the island.
Naturally the sudors killed a few
of them to try their llesh. They
found it unpalatable. In thy following
century several specimens of the
dodo were taken to Europe, but there
is no record of a live bird having
been seen since 1681. When hogs
were introduced on the island the
dodoes fared ill. They could not fly
and were slow on their feet. Besides
the female dodo laid only one egg
at a setting and this on the grouni
in a nest of grass'. So the queer
bird became totally extinct.
Col Charles A. Lindbergh was
awarded the Woodrow Wilson medal
and $25,000 prize "for meritorious
service tending to the establishment
of peace through iustice." Hugo
^crowds . ... . Memorial
in St. Louis to view Lindbergh's
collection of trophies and the
Spirjt of St. Louis memorial committee
has voted to build a permanent
memorial building to preserve the entire
collection if Lindbergh decides
to leave them in St. Louis.

The Southern is a citizen
of each of the 2,900 communities
along its lines. Its 60,000
employees and their families live
in these communities. The $90,000,000
they earn annually are
spent or invested there.
Every day 20,000 loaded freight cars are moving
along the Southern's rails, carrying forward the
Youth's commerce. The measure of this service,
- gained by multiplying the tonnage handled by the
average distance hauled, reaches 12,000,000,000
ton-miles* a year.- v
Every day, speeding along the far-reaching lines
of the Southern, 450 passenger trains carry passengers,
mail and express swiftly and safely to
their destinations.
Every day the Southern deposits {800,000 in
< m - ? ..
Southern banks. It spends large sums each year
in the purchase of Southern products for use in the
maintenance, equipment and enlargement of its?_
railroad facilities.
The Southern Railway System is one of the South's
largest Industries, and through the service
it renders it is a vital factor in the growth and
prosperity of the South. .
To continually improve our service, to bgild a
greater Southern to serve a greater South, is our
daily job.
