TALL TALES
g
As Told to-:
FRANK E. HACAN and
ELMO SCOTT WATSON
Steel Drivin' Man

HOEL s. BISHOP, who knows the
L history of the Chesapeake and
Ohio railroad backward as well as for
ward, and vice versa, has often heard
the old-timers tell about the difficult
ties they had in driving a tunnel
through Cruzee mountain. Among the
negro laborers they hired was young
fellow named John Henry, likely lad
only seven or eight feet tall.
Right away they discovered that
John Henry was mighty good ham,
mer man, even though he hadn't got
his growth yet. He was so fast with
his 12-pound hammer that he wore out
its handle every nine minutes. He al
ways had to have boy standing Dy
with a pail of Ice water so ne could
keep the hammer from melting.
The result of this was that the G.
aud o. had to hire a gang of Tony
Beavers lumberjacks to log off the
whole state of West Virginia in order
to provide John Henry with enough
hammer handles to keep him busy.
Also they had to make the potomac
river run backwards so there'd be
enough water on hand to keep his
hammer cool.
Just about the time John Henry be-
gan to wear out a handle every six
and three-quarter minutes, fellow
showed up with steam-driven drill
and challenged John Henry to a drill
ing contest. "Boss man, how many
days staht you-all want SOS l won't
ketch up with yu' too soon?" asked
John Henry. The steam drill man
said they'd start at the same time, so
at it they went. And, as everybody In
the South knows. John Henry
Beat dat steam drill down.
Rock was high, POI John was low.
Well, he laid down his hannah an ne
died,
Laid down his hannah an he died.
1t was too bad that the contest re-
suited fatally for the victor. II John
Henry had ever grown up to be full
size man, he might have hung up some
real records as a steel drivin' man.

The bad Lands"

bad Lands" Is the name given In
the western part of the United States
to certain sterile regions. They are
characterized by an almost entire alb
sence of vegetation. and by the laby-
rinth of fantastic forms into which
the soft strata of clays, sands and
gravels have been carved through the
action of wind and water. The best
examples are found east of the Black
hills in South Dakota, though similar
formations occur in Wyoming, Colora-
do, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas.

The Good Ship "Wobble"

AAS NSS0 w
THE first stories about the good
i ship "Wobble" were written by
Frank Ward O'Malley and printed in
the New York Sun, but other news
paper men have added details to its
history. 1t was "O'Malley of the Sum-"
however, who first interviewed its mas
ter, Capt Heinie Hassenpfeffer, and
discovered that he wasn't quite sane.
Captain Heinie had been a second
story man in New York. When he
sought new fields for his talents in
Africa and found that the houses there
were only one story high, the disap-
pointment unbalanced his mind.
For that matter, his ship was bit
unbalanced also. 1t had only one pad
dle-wheel and that was mounted on
the starboard side. So when the "Wob.
Bile" started out on a voyage with its
cargo of subways and artesian wells.
it Just steamed around and around
In a circle and never got anywhere.
To correct this defect Captain Heinie
junked the engine and paddle-wheel,
installed masts and sails and set out
across the Atlantic. -Four and half
days out, the ship ran into what
seemed to be dense black cloud. But
the captain soon found that 1t was
a flock of mosquitoes. By the time the
"Wobble" had passed through them,
the insects had eaten off every scrap
of sail and tarred rope from the ship.
For a month the ship drifted with
the tides Off the coast Of South
America it again ran into cloud
of mosquitoes. By queer coincidence
it was the very same flock that had
stripped the ship. Captain Heinie
knew they were the same because ev-
cry mosquito wore pair Of canvas
overalls, made from his sails, held up
by tarred rope su, enders!
