My Favorite Stories 1
By IEVIN S. COBB :
"Don’t Speak Till You’re ,
Spoken To" :
Roy McCardell, the humorist, went ,
abroad. On the way across he grew | .
quite chummy with Louis Tracy, the 1
English novelist, who was returning:
home after a visit to America. 1
One morning in the smoking-room .
when the voyage was almost ended, 1
Tracy passed and bowed to Me-13
Cardell. A serious-looking English-3
man witnessed this exchange of 1 .
greetings and, after thinking the 1
thing over for a time, approached ; A

People from every section of the
state are attending the encampment
from the Panhandle to the Southern
tip of the state, and from El Paso to
Arkansas. A number of visitors are
here from other states—-Arkansas,
Georgia, Oklahoma, New Mexico, and
others. A large delegation is present
from El Paso and possibly a score of
families from the Brady district of
the state, showing that the fame of
the encampment is spreading and
reaching into new fields. People from
San Antonio, Ennis, Fort Worth,
Cuero, Gatesville, Waco, San Angelo,
Dallas, Abilene, and many other
places are among those registered at
the encampment office, according to
A. C. Easterling, secretary.
Large Sunday School
Approximately 600 were in Sun-
day school at Paisano last week and
the total collection of $61.82 was
sent to Buckner Orphans’ Home, at
Dallas.
A number of prominent laymen of
the state are attending the meetings,
including Hon. Lon A. Smith, rail-
road commissioner, C. M. Caldwell of
Abilene, and a number of outstand-
ing business and professional men
from different sections of the state.

O. L. Sims, Paint Rock, Texas, and
“Frontier Days at Old Fort Davis,”
by Dr. Charles W. Stivers, Los An-
mounted birds and animals, skins of
animals and reptiles, and specimens
of flowers, trees and grasses. A dis-
play of unusual interest to residents
of West Texas is a small but repre-
sentative collection of grasses made
by the director of research in biol-
ogy, on the college campus.
There are already many minerals
and fossils on display and special
displays of rocks and ores from the
various mines of the section are
planned, together with special col-
lections of fossils pertaining to cer-
tain formations or areas and geo-
logic maps and columns found at va-
rious points.
Folk-Lore and History of the West
Files kept in the museum include
folk-lore, records of specimens on
display, photographs and a refer-
ence shelf for comparative study.
Efforts are being made to collect
from men now living the story of
the West, of the open range, and the
Mexican bandit, Indian stories, sto-
ries of buried treasure; supersti-
tions; weather signs, cowboy and
Mexican ballads and folk music. The
society is bidding for an organized
effort to save the relics of Indian
life and frontier days, so rapidly be-
coming scattered, and specimens of

“I beg your pardon," he said, "but
you seem to know that gentleman
who just passed. He and I are shar-
ing the same stateroom, and this
morning he got up first and by mis-

Lake, and El Paso.
The song services under the di-
rection of B. B. McKinney, are at-
tracting large numbers of people
each evening and are one of the big
features of the encampment. Mr.
McKinney is ably assisted in these
services by the orchestra under the
direction of E. L. Harp, Roswell. N.
M. The orchestra gives a thirty-
minute concert each evening preced-
ing the evening preaching service.
Members of the orchestra are as fol-
lows:
Violin Section—Tillman Durden,
Pecos; Laverne Schnoor, Artesia, N.
M.; Mrs. R. M. Stevenson, Pecos;
nings are drawing the largest crowds
due both to the prominence of the
speaker and the fact that many peo-
ple drive out from neighboring towns
to attend the evening services, re-
turning to their homes after the
services. Dr. Porter is delivering a
series of most interesting lectures
on "Eight Portraits, of Christ.” Dr.
I. E. Gates, the original and inimi-
table “unspoiled boy of the pulpit,”
as he has been called, is drawing
large crowds at the morning service,
while Dr. Tidwell with his interest-
ing expositions of the Bible is hold-
ing the interest of many each day.
He is recognized as one of the ablest
Bible scholars in the nation.
Almost daily showers have made
the encampment more delightful
than usual this summer and pros-
pects for a still greater attendance
next year are in evidence, according
to encampment officials.
E. A. and David Chaffin of Kan-
sas, who recently bought the Funk
boarding house, and F. M. Steere,
recently of Florida, all three business
men of experience, will locate with
their families in Alpine soon, ac-
cording to two of the men who were
here this wee . The Chaffin broth-
ers spent three months travelling
over Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas,
looking for a location, they said, and
finally chose Alpine on account of its
churches, schools, fine climate and
business opportunities offered.
E. A. Chaffin has been in the real
estate, loan and insurance business
for several years. Lewis Kyser, who
accompanied the Chaffins here, will
also move here with his family, it
was stated. Mr. Kyser expects to
engage in the ranching business.
Mr. Steere has had wide experi-
ence in the real estate business and
is a former partner of ex-Governor
R. S. Vessey of South Dakota, it is
said. He was engaged in this line
of business in Southern California
and for the past two years in Flor-
ida. He has land interests in Pecos
County.
Mr. Steere and E. A. Chaffin ex-
pect to open a real estate and insur-
ance office here soon, they said.
They are temporarily located in the
offices of Mr. Peffley at the High-
land Realty Company.

The West Texas Historical and
Scientific Society will hold its semi-
annual meeting at Sul Ross, August
•6, 1927. This society was organ-
ized in the spring of 1926 and held
its first annual meeting March 5,
1927. The purpose of the society
is to collect and preserve materials
of historical and scientific value.
Indian Collection Rich
The Indian collection is of unus-
ual scientific value and the relics of
Indian life found in this section are
attracting the attention of anthro-
pologists of national repute. This
collection includes arrow-heads,
spear-heads, stone hammers, Meta-
tes, pestles, pottery, beads and bas-
ketry, and a very complete set of
tracings of pictographs and petro-
glyphs taken from some of the many
Indian camping places found in the
Big Bend.
Some interesting relics of frontier
life, such as weapons, spurs and
bits, ahve been collected. Many doc-
uments, papers, letters, stamps,
coins, and an appreciable amount of

My Favorite Stories
By IRVIN S. COBB
The Wail of a Suffering Soul
Once upon a time there was pre-
sented in a New York theater a his-
torical drama by a new dramatist—a
play so bad that even the critics
didn’t have the heart the next morn-
ing to tell the whole truth about it.
At the end of the third act, when the
suffering audience were writhing in
their seats, a stout man who had
been patronizing a bootlegger began |
to utter loud cries. A number of 1
kindly disposed persons took up the!
chorus and in another minute the mis- |
guided playwright had responded to |
what he thought was a curtain call |
and was standing before the foot- |
lights bowing his appreciation and
mumbling inarticulate words of
thanks.
When the author had withdrawn |
himself the stout man’s companion |
turned upon him angrily.
“What in the world did you mean.” i
demanded the friend—“yelling for ;
‘Author! Author!’ like that?”
According to an article in The
Dallas News, the school of business
administration of the University of
Texas is preparing to summarize an
interesting analysis that will form a
possibly unique contribution to the
field of accounting. Dr. Cox and
his associates, Professor Woodbridge
and Mr. Nichols, are trying to put
into a shape a system for effective
ranch bookkeeping. After seven
years of study, they are nearly rea-
dy.
Seven years sums up the whole
history of Sul Ross, but this shows
the type of problem that can be
worked out by students of the col-
lege which belongs to West Texas.
