KNEW HUMAN NATURE Logic of the Man Who Fiddled In the Midet of a Flood. When ij(tvy Crockett was on his way from hia Tennessee home to T*‘xm to Sght for the new republic ho rode overhind with Rome chance friends from Little Rock to Fulton. One day they were startled by hearing the high notes of a distant violin playing a rollicking air. Tutting spurs to their horses, the men hastened toward the sound and Boon observed several others running through the fields In the same direction. At last they enme over the crest of a ridge in view of the river and beheld the fiddler seated in the middle of the flood in an almost submerged buggy playing as fast as he could shake the bow. "Hello, there! Turn back!” shouted the men who came through the field. “I can’t." replied the fiddler. “But you’ve missed the ford. Yon’ll drown!” “I’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 aud seemed about to be swept away. One of the men who had been attracted by the fiddling waded out and by a precarious way reached the horse’s head aud led him round to the ford and back to the bank, the passenger fiddling all the way and winding up with a merry jig. “What do you mean by sitting out there fiddling in the face of death?” demanded Crockett of the rescued stranger. “Well, colonel,” said the fiddler, ”1 am a student of human nature. When I found I had missed the ford and needed help, I set out to get it I 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 a fiddle In the woods.” “And he was right,” said Davy, “for there we were, the lot of us, our horses ail of a lather, for running to satisfy our curiosity about that squeaking Addle In this out of the way place."— Youth’s Companion An Incident of Travel. In Nuremberg, having occasion to ask my way, I said in my best Melsterschaft to a gentleman passing: “Koennen sle tulr vielleicht sagen wl« man nach das Deutschen museum geht?” Imagine my mortification when he replied: “I am going that way. I will show you." We walked on, and, learning that I was an American and had traveled in England, he said: “I am professor of English here. That is why I speak English so welt But I didn’t been in England already once yet”—Lippincott’s. o The pleasant purgative effect experienced by all who use Chambertain’s Stomach and Liver Tablets, and the healthy condition of the body and mind which they create, makes one feel joyful.
