In n western Kentucky town Ben
Watson had saved the life Of Myra
Underhill, says Hurper's Weekly. Miss
UndcrhIl had been overturned In n
creek with swift current, and the
act of young Watson was a very be-
role one. He had saved the life OF the
girl after she was sinking for the
third time and had barely strength to
pull himself and the young woman to
shallow water.
The news soon spread, and Ben wat
son was hailed as the real live hero "f
the village.
Aunt Tabby Wilson, the Oldest WON
an In the village, the mother of the
little colony, was loud In praise OF the
beroIsm Of the young man and rt once
declared that Ben and Myra must get
married. "Ben saved Myry's lfe,' she
said, "and now they must marry and
be happy ever afterward. just as they
do II in the story books
But Ben demurred. The arrangement
did not suit him.
"Why not marry Myry. Benz said
the old lady, "She Is yours, and we
must have n wedding"
"She IL nice girl, all right" re-
piled Ben. "but don't think we ought

at the Ohio State Fair, Sept. 2, 3, 4,
S and 6, will include daily flights and
exhibitions. selecting from the assem-
bled crowd any who desire to accom-
pany him on his trip to the clouds.
In addition to his daily flights on the
fair grounds he will on Monday, sept.
Q. encircle the city Of Columbus, de-
liver his passengers In the state cap
itol grounds, and after brief rest
will again ascend and return to the
exposition grounds. Each afternoon
he will encircle the race course ana
maneuver his craft at high and low
attitudes, proving that he has mas

flights the machine will be housed In

While no doubt many airships or
the smaller type such as exhibited
last year, will again be featured at
many places this season, the Ohio
State Fair has an exclusive contract
with Captain Knabenshue for the ape
pearance of the passenger carrying
craft, and 1t can be positively stated
that its only exhibition in America
will be on the Ohio State Fair
grounds, as Immediately after the con-
clusion of his engagement In Colum-
bus the intrepid navigator of the air
will depart for Europe to engage in q
series of aerial contests with noted
