 Being d cool afternoon and know ing I could not speEd my time more profitabIy than visit to ore of Ameriea's largest and most success ful irdustries, the Anheuser Busch Brewing Association. So, in com pany with a party l boarded Southern Electric car on Sixth and Washington avenue, and soon heard the conductor call out that we had arrived at our destination. We walked into the brewery grounds between two huge pillows with im- mense eagles Perched on their tops. These eagles are the represen tative trademarks of this Association.
 Proceeding to the office we regis tered and awaited our turn to be escorted around by a guide. The guide was very accommodating, and was able to gather few points from him. We first visited the stables, where the draught horses are kept, to the number Of 250 These are used ib hauling the beer to the different warehouses, saloons, etc. From there we passed into the bottle shed where we were told that from fifteen 10 twenty millions of bottles art stored. We then passed Into the cleaning aud washing department, where, oy the use of improved ma chinery, thousands of bottles are washed daily. Proceeding further we were shown the prlvate stable of the president, Mir Adolp phus Busch. Such wealth that is ex- pended in this unpreten tious build ing is beyond imagination, but to be convinced of it, is only to walk through Vehicles of all kinds with the latest appliances and harness oi the most exquisite styles, are the first 10 meet and daz2 e the eye One set that was particularly point ed out 10 me was noun ted with sterling silver, and was tod that its real value was $500
 Mir, Buschs generosity to his ID ID ;S well-know and even for his sta. blemen does he provide amusement, for he has fitted out in rarlors ad- joining bis stable most delightful quarters with billiard and pool ta- oles, reading matter, etc.
 We then started for the most i'm portant part of the brewery, the Brew House, most wonderful structure, costing $2, 500, ,000. Walk. ing through this building keeps once attention constantly employed so as not to miss the many interesting sights to be seen in the way of mal- siye machinery.
 The elevator took us to the top Moor, so as to start at the beginning and go to the end of the manufac- ture of beer. But before commence ing this sinteresting journey we were taken up winding steps to the tow CT, and thert had a most excellent bird's-eye view of St. Louis. From thls point the Mississippi on its weary course can also be seen for miles.
 On the first or top 1,or is ths IN a. chinery used for the assortment of the malt, seed, etc. This floor is one of the most impol tant, as stated above, it is the beginning. Walking down stone steps with pol ished raiings we soon found our selves on another floor, with dffrr cut machinery for the weighing of the seed ard other ingredients, con. stantly tranferred there from the floor above.
 An incident that is most striking
