A r1iIliOn Dollars in Assets.

There is usually some good reason for
abnormal growth in any business and it
is so with Savings Banks. The North

The Hyde Park savings bank reached
notable point in its history July II,
when for the first time the assets of the
institution reached the million mark.

WATTERSON AT
CLOSE RANGE
PEN PICTURE OF THE FAMOUS
LOUISVILLE EDITOR.

This pen sketch Of Henry Watterson
is contained in an article in the cur
rent Harper's Weekly, in the series,
Democratic Presidential Possible
ties"
Let us look at Henry Watterson as
he is today. Height about FIVE feet six
inches, with every inch Of his thick,
round, deep body enclosing cell sur
charged with nervous energy. Head
finely poised on broad shoulders. The
face a delight for students OF charac-
ter. The eyes restless with alert per-
ception. The nose well modelled; the
chin a challenge. Crown this shapely
head with a plentitude of snow white
hair that touches his forehead with
the caress of a single fagrant lock,
and you have the portrait. His arms
are short, and the hands swing back
and forth nervously as he moves
along. unless they happen to be showed
down into the pockets of his sack coat.
He wastes no moment on the street,
looking always straight ahead as he
plunges along; and this habit has
earned for him an undeserved reputa-
ton for incivility to friends or &C
ouaintances whom he passes. The rush
habit and defective vision are really
responsible.
"At his club, or in the big chair be-
fore his plain table desk in his little
crowded office on the second floor OF
the Courier-Journal building, he is al
ways courteous and agreeable.
"All the young men on the paper re-
gard him highly, and they are ready TO
swear to his great talent, and to fight
for his supremacy as a journalist; but
as their personal knowledge Of him is
mostly confined to the glimpses they
get as he rushes from his Office on the
second floor to the composing room
below. 1t can hardly be wondered that
they know little of him socially Yet
every column of the Courier-Journal
bears his impress"

THE TIE THAT BINDS

An Atchison young man is In
dilemma. Several years ago he met
an Atchison young girl and they be-
came engaged. Both worked, and built
enormous air castles and painted the
future with all the colors Of the rain
bow. Both began to save and the girl
was chosen as the banker. Every
Saturday night the young man gave
her part of his weekly salary. Now
the girl has not less than $500 Of the
young mans money. He wants to
break away, as he has met another
girl who looks better to him, but his
first love won't release him. She tells
him he can go II he wants to, but re-
fuses to part with the $500, which is
In her name in the bank. He is just
as secure as II he were tied to her by
rlveted characterization Globe.

INCREASED COST
THE EXPENSE OF PUBLISHING
NEWSPAPERS GREATLY
INCREASED.

Like everything else, the cost OF
making newspaper has increased. A
dozen OIL. so years ago the getting out
of a newspaper was comparatively In
EXPENSIVE. Help was cheap, paper
stock was low, and less reading mat
ter was required. Today printers get
so per cent more in wages than they
got IL years ago. The price OF paper
stock has arisen fully third and is
still rising.
The introduction of the linotype
into newspaper Offices was felt to be
the downfall of compositors, but time
has shown that there are more men
and women at work today on neWspa-
pers than ever before. The reason is
that newspapers give more for the
money than formerly; give more read
ing and a larger and better paper In
every way than was the case in former
years.
There is nothing on the market that
people get so much of for their money
as they do in newspapers at the pres
ent time. 1t is rich in news, full OF
entertainment, indeed, necessity for
the counting room, the store and the
home Murfreesboro Home-Journal.

IMPROVEMENT IN
COTTON CROPS
WITH SOME EXCEPTIONS IN TEX
AS AND ARkANSAS.-FoR-
WARD STAGE.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Sept. 2.-Today S
Commercial-Appeal publishes the fol-
lowing summary of the cotton crop;
with some exceptions in Texas and
Arkansas the cotton crop continued its
advancement Of last week and has
now reached the most forward stage
of its development yet seen.
THE weather was dry over the en-
tire cotton belt during the week, ex-
cept for scattered local showers.
In Arkansas the lack of rainfall
has damaged some of the hill lands.
The low lands send brilliant reports
THE whole of central, southern and
western Texas and parts of the east
are in a very serious condition. over
nearly all of this area little or no ram
fell during the month of August, while
very high temperatures prevailed. Inc
plant has ceased growth and shedding
has already taken place to an alarm
ing extent.
THE average of replies indicates
that picking will not become general
before September 18TH"

AT FEAST OF
CIRCUS FOLKS
HOW MANAGER HAD OCCASION
FOR GREAT SURPRISE.

The late James A. Bailey, famous as
the successor of p. T. Barnum, says a
writer in Success, once accepted an in
vitation to dinner rendered to a
bride and groom among the freaks
OF his circus. He was late in arriving
and found the company politely await
ing him. There were living skeletons,
dwarfs, Circassians, snake charmers,
the girl that spoke seven languages
and had two heads which made four
teen languages in ALL" the "dog-faced
boy" and others. Beaming upon them
with paternal air, the happy manager
acknowledged the genial Hello, pop"
that went around the festal board.
Il am sorry | kept you waiting, he
said, there are several new additions
to the company. Is this the groom?'
mo-" replied deep voice from the
full beard addressed, Il am the bride
81 beg your pardon" said Mr.. Bailey.
Il did not recognize the bearded lady.
But, tell me, which is the groom?"
81 am" proclaimed very thin voice.
In establishment Mr.. Bailey glanced
up at the figure towering near his
elbow.
Il congratulate you, my man." said
the manager. sit down, let us ON
with the feast--sit down."
The guest addressed at once began
to ascend seemingly until his head was
in the neighborhood Of the canvas
roof, from which height he looked
down and said:
81 was sittin' down, pop-I was sit
tin down."
