KNEW HUMAN NATURE.
Logic Of the Man Who Fiddied In tbs
Midst Of Flood.

When Dayy Crockett was on his way
from his Tennessee home to Texas to
fight for the new republic he rode over
land with some chance friends from
Little Rock to Fulton One day they
were startled by hearing the high notes
Of a distant violin playing rollicking
air. Putting spurs to their horses, the
men FASTENED toward the sound and
soon observed several others running
through the fields in the same direc-
lion. At last they came over the crest
Of a ridge in view of the river and be-
held the fiddler seated - the middle
Of the food in an almost submerged
buggy playing as fast as he could
shake the bow
Hello. therei Turn backr' shouted
the men who came through the field.
II can't" replied the fiddler.
"But you've missed the ford You'll
drown
ssI've known that for half an hour
What are you going to do?"
Sit here till you chaps come out and
turn my horse the right way
The horse was with difficulty keeping
his footing and seemed about to be
swept away. One of the men who had
been attracted by the fiddling waded
out and by precarious way reached
the horses head and led him round to
The ford and back to the bank, the pas
senger fiddling all the way and wind
Ing up with merry Jig.
What do you mean by sitting out
there fddling in the face of death r.
demanded Crockett of the rescued
stranger.

might have shouted myself hoarse and
no one out here would have paid the
slightest attention to me- But there
isn't a man west of the Mississippi
who wouldn't come running at the
sound of 4 fiddle In the woods
And he was right said Davy, ssfor

SOME AUTUMN FANCIES.


to Mako hem.
The new fall garments for young
misses are now on view in many
places, although they may not be worn
until the middle of September The
coats come first and are extremely
neat and we'll made. besides being be-
coming to the slim young figures.
Jumper suits have not altogether gone
out. for among the new outdoor suits
we find several of the standard wool
ems made in that style, although the
underwaist is necessarily of material
less fiiInsy than has been worn all
summer. Some of the lingerie waists
are to be seen, but beneath them will
be vest either of quilted cotton or
crocheted wool This is little trick
of femininity that has often been play
ed and while the wise ones are blam-
ing tile women for wearing such fimsy
stuff at the risk of their very lives the
wearers have been comfortably dress
ed beneath the very waist that has
been called a peekaboo.
In the illustration will be seen a suit
Of this style made of heather cheviot,
with no trimming save binding of
braid where there are edges. The
skirt is laid in box plaits. ~ silyery
silk veil is now fad with many, and
while it is graceful as an adjunct 1t
also serves the purpose of keeping the
dust out. Many young girls will be
admired in these soft and dainty wells.
l forget exactly what they are called,
but it is something to show that the
delicate complexion is thus to be pre-
served
All waists of any kind of material
suitable for young girls are made very
full across the shoulders in front, some
having deep and full berthas. Nearly
all waists are calculated to disguise
the uniformed figure of the girl and add
breadth to the shoulders and make the
waist seem smaller by contrast Time
was when this was not understood,
and the girls really deserved the cpl
tibet of gawky All is changed now.
Nearly all skirts. particularly If
made of wooden, are laid in folds or
plaits Side, kilt, box and even double
plaits are seen. 4 few wooden skirts
are tucked after the plaits are laid or
before, and the effect is very good
Where plaid is the material bias folds
are set on with good effect. Plaid is
really the best and most seryiceable
of all dress goods. There are many
kinds of plaids this season, most of
them being in rather neutral colors,
grays and drabs, with here and there
thread of a bright color. White and
two shades of gray or drab or fawn
make the most refined Of the plaids.
These vary in size from pinhead
checks to two to four inch squares.
The plaids require very little trim
ming, as the figure Is so snowy. A

this morning. When discovered the
fire had gained considerable Roadway
and although the fire department re-
sponded promptly to the alarm, it
arrived too late to save the plant.
The wind carried the flames across
the street and ignited several dwell
ings, which we're promptly put out,
and by heroic work the fire was con
fined to the mill proper.
Had it succeeded in crossing the
street the city would have probably
had general confagrstion, which
would have effected the principal resi-
dence section. The Corydon Milling
company is one Of the most successful
-four mills in this section and is owned
aud operated by L. o. and J f.
Stapp. The mill was insured by the
Miller's National association, but il
is estimated that the loss will exceed
the insurance by 50, 900.

LABEL THAT BELTS THE GLOBE
More Than 20, 900 Miles of Labels
Used in 1906

The quantity OF labels purchased by the
Anheuser- Busch Brewing Association from
| the United States Printing Co., ofCincinnati
Ohio during the year 1906 reached the
| enormous total of 544 $50 geo. The paper
| necessary to print this immense lot weighed
| 634, 7SS pounds, or over 367 tons.
The ordinary observer little realizes,
| while drinking his bottle of beer and toying
with the 'Budweiser" labels used by The
| Anheuser- Busch Brewing Association during
1906 were placed end to end, they would
reach distance of %, 912 72-1OO miles As
a matter of fact if all the labels printed by
The United States Printing Company for
The Anheuser- Busch Brewing Association
during 1906 were placed end to end, they
| would go entirely around the globe land
then some for they would cover a distance
| of %, 933 71-100 miles, or if they were laid
one stack, they would make the New York
| and Chicago skyscrapers look like mole hills,
for they would tower up a distance of 1886
100 OF a mile, and mind you, this does not
cover the stock labels used by The Anheuser-
Busch Branches or their authorized bottles.
These cnrisous and interesting deductions
illustrate the gigantic proportions of the
la bells supplies for this Brewery.
The readers will best realize the magnitude
of this volume OF printing by stopping to
figure out what it means to print such an
immense lot OF paper.
AS mOSU OI THESE idDiei5 are printed IN
several colors 1.-THE 'Budweiser" label con-
tanning four separate printings) it is equal
to total of almost $4,000, 900 large sized
sheets of paper-enough to keep one large
cylinder press running constantly 22,120
hours, or almost nine years, figuring on a
working day of eight hours, 800 working
days to the year.
The printing OF all these labels gives en-
ployment TO about five hundred people in
the printing trades alone, besides pressmen,
electrotypers, compositors, paper makers,
etc. The benefits extend in many other direc-
tions, such as ink and color manufacturers,
machnists who make and repair the ma
ehinery for producing the paper, inks and
presses; lumbermen who make and supply
wood pulp which goes into the manufacture
of paper,-trainmen, draymen, etc, who as
sist in transporting the labels or material
out of WI ich tley are made-from one place
to another.
1t would be difficult and well nigh impos-
sible ito say exactly how many people are
employed one way or another in manufac-
turing all these labels for The Anheuser-
Busch Brewing Association.
