MY FAVORITE STORIES
By Irwin S. Cobb

The transcontinental flyer had pulled out
from Chicago for the long run to the coast
and the conductor had made his rounds,
when the passengers in one of the coaches
became aware of signs of concern the part
of a fellow traveller. This was an elderly
bearded man in old-fashioned garb and OF
fatherly aspect. He sat with his head in his
hands muttering to himself in Yiddish and at
intervals uttering low moaning sounds.
They sympathized with his grief and
among themselves wondered what allied him.
The common theory was that the poor old
fellow must be on his way across country,
hoping to reach the bedside of some dear one
who was in sore affliction. Or, possibly, he
was going West to attend a funeral.
Next morning, as the train entered Kansas,
his grief seemed greater than it had been the
night before. He groaned almost contlnu-
ously, beating himself gently on the breast
and at intervals exclaiming:
"Oi! Oi!''
This continued all through that day and
the day following. The patriarc'' seemed so
alone in his sorrow; so completely desolated.
Kindly eyes regarded him and all on the train
wished they might do something to soothe
him and comfort him. But he was stran-
ger. and, after all, there wasn't anything
really they could do; besides, they felt 1t
was not proper that they who never before
had seen him, should intrude upon his
distress. T.
Finally though on the next afternoon
when they were crossing southern California
and were within few score miles OF Los
Angeles, one big-hearted man could contain
himself no longer. He approached the seat
where the old man sat in huddle Of misery
and extending a cordial hand, he said:
''Sir, do not know you. 1 do not wish
you to think that I am 1nquisitive, but I
have been sorely moved by your distress, and
perhaps now that we are approaching our des-
tination 1 can be of some small assistance to
you. Is there anything can do?"
Tears gushed from the old mans eyes as
mutely he shook his head.
I'm so sorry. Pardon me for asking, but
have you suffered personal bereavement"
The ancient shook his head in the negative.
"Is it worse than that even?"
A nod.
We'll, then, what is the matter?"
Listen, Meester; tree days already I am
on der wrong train!"

The Stride Of the South

~HERE Is probably no other like period
of history all things considered, so
rich in material achievement as is the
span of the present generation in the South.
In manufacturing, this region has invested
today four billions more of capital than the
entire United States had in 1880; and in
cotton mills alone has five times as much In
vested as the whole country had in 1880.
These are but two items among hundreds set
forth, by the Manufacturers Record in a re-
markable compendium Of evidence on Dixies
growth on the realm of production.
The Southern output of coal last year
approximately one hundred and fifty-eight
million TONS as against seventy-one million
in 1880 for all America; while the Southern
output of pig iron last year almost equalled
the country's total Of four decades ago. Still
more striking is the fact that whereas In
1880 the nationwide output of petroleum
amounted to twenty-six million barrels, the
Southern output last year amounted to three
hundred and twenty-five million barrels.
In agricultural products, Southern values
last year exceeded five billion, two hundred
and ninety. million dollars, as against two
billion, two hundred and twelve million for
the entire country in 1880. AS for banking
1.-THE total deposits in national and state
banks, including trust companies and saw
ings banks, in the South in 1900 amounted
to 1851 900, 900 In 1922 these deposits ag
gregated s6,273, 100000, or almost ten times
as much as twenty years ago. In 1910, or
twelve years ago, the total bank deposits Of
the South were $1,955, 100000, or less than
one third Of the deposits Of 1922. The re-
sources of national banks in the South rose
from 05,O0OOO0 in 1900, to $4,0S3, O00,-
600 in 1922" The South's railway mileage
now approximately equals that Of the whole
continent forty years ago.
One other fact - most significant, most
gratifying of all. The South spent for pub
lie school education in 1920 two hundred and
four million dollars, while in 1880 the United
States as a whole spent only seventy-eight
million; between 1915 and 1920 the South
doubled her expenditures for this purpose,
and is still literally increasing them.
