there were the graceful and accom-
plished lady acrobats, and there was
the daring and beautiful Miss Edna
who turned up bare backed somer-
sanlt-I mean, who turned sOmer-
| sault from bare-backed horse. All
this was very well so far as it went,
but it did not go far enough. What
We want is big. big show, such as
have endeavored family to outline
above. Give us one of that kind, and
we will all vote that life is worth liv.
ing.
Speaking of shows, however, next
week our modest little neighbor city
of Tacoma is going to have her big
show. and of course every man, woman
and child, not only of Olympia but of
Thurston county, is expected to pa.
troniZe that show-must, indeed, in
order to requite our little neighbor on
Commencement Bay for her favors,
bestowed in times past, on Olympia.
Then look at the attractions of that
show! She's to be a Carnival! Yes,
sir; regular Carnival! There will
be the Grand Band of Canton, Ohio,
Chats where President Mckinley
lives, you know, and it is further said
that when that band leaves Canton,
the President will take leave of them
with tears in his eyes and will blow his
nose, and that that band will bring
that handkerchief with that blow in it,
with their other music to that Carni-
val. Think OF that, nowD And then
they are to have other attractions:
Miss Raymond. Americas greatest
lady cornetist," will test her little horn;
and there will be thirty Indian tribes,
and each tribe with a distinct and diff
ferent smell; and there will be "The
Marvellous Midway" with all sorts of
attractions such as, the Streets of
Cairo. Trained Animal Show, Original
Mexican Theater, Absorbing Oriental
Theater; the Mystifying Illusion "Swi-
nette," Genuine Turks and Arabs,
bringing with them their genuine,
original squat, and you must not miss
seeing La Belle Fatima and Omeena
in their celebrated Hooche Kooche
(Ouchee-dontee-touchee). dance! And
then withal there will be Mardi .gras,
the first ever captured on the coast,
but now thoroughly tanned and the
first time ever exhibited. but can now
be viewed with perfect safety.
Now, think OF all this, and where is
the Olympian who will not be only
willing but anxious to lay aside world
ly affairs for week or ten days and
attend this "Great Moral Show"
Any little feeling that Olympia may
still have for the abuse Tacoma has
heaped on her on the past must be for.
gotten and forgiven and she must turn
out in force to swell 1.-THE Carnival"
Then there is yet another little piece
ef advice ! would give concerning this
Great Show, and that is let every
woman who goes take with her big
basket and fill it at the bargain coun-
ters during the Carnival; and let every
man who has little job of printing
to be done, or a watch to clean or any
little thing like that be sure and have
it done while he is looking at the
Hnoche. Kooche, Dontu.T ouchee dance.
This so encourages our home traders
and mechanics. and should they pre-
tend not to like it, just tell them
"they are out o. luck" in not being in
business in Tacoma, and-at the time
of the Big Carnival. But Tacoma
and Tacomans will like it. for this is
the object Of the intention"
But in conclusion and in all seri-
business. there is one sight we can as.
sure all those who do attend this Car
nival, that they can see only at Taco
ma and which can be seen at no other
point in the State, or in the Union,
for that matter, but only there and
while there, and that is Mount Taco.
