HAD A DREARY OPENING.
Elks' Carnival Starts Out with Un-
propitious Weather and Rather
Small Attendance.

Rain throughout the day and early
evening caused the Elks' carnival to
have rather damp and dreary OPEN
ing last night. A big crowd is an abso-
lutte essential to the success of an af-
fair of this kind and as the rain kept
the attendance down to rather small
sized proportions, the opening was un-
fortunately wanting in this requisite
of success.
Those who took it for granted that
the arrangements would be completed
and that the weather was not going to
be altogether uncomfortable were not
greatly disappointed. The shows were
all in readiness when the gates opened
and the affair was under way less than
an hour when the rain ceased.
Big crowds can be safely counted
upon if the weather improves, for the
show Is all that is expected of it. The
features are presented as advertised
and they are many and varied.
The principal attractions are the
Ferari wild animal show, Esau. the
biographet German village, dog and
monkey show Cingalese village, streets
of Cairo, wild Aztec girls, snake charm
err country store, gondolas, Ferris
wheel and trapeze performers.
Esau, the educated chimpanzee is the
most wonderful feature of the carnival.
He dresses, eats, and in many ways
acts like a human being, and as one
watches his performance the idea Is
gained that he Is human rather than
brute.
What, however, proves the most in
teresting feature Of the whole thing is
the midway mountebank's methods of
attracting crowd. Every conceivable
kind of din maker ever used on mid
way is drafted into his service. Infer
nal noise machines tear all kinds OF
apertures in the atmosphere as they
are operated III front Of the different
shows, in total disregard of the fact
that they drown the announcements
of the neighboring BARKER" Pistol
shots, wild shrieks and red fire are
some of the comparatively new methods
of attracting attention, and they work
effectively.
The grounds are we'll arranged and
brilliantly illuminated. A large num-
ber of booths advertising the wares of
local merchants intersperse the show
tents.
The formal opening of the carnival
was preceded by parade of the Elks.
Recorder Connell, Director of Public
Safety wormser and members Of the
Elks' carnival committee rode in car
riages at the head of the procession.
The gates We're formally opened by Re-
corder Connell when the parade reached
the grounds, about o'clock.
The carnival will continue all week,
opening each day at 1 o'clock p. m.,
with the exception of July 4, when the
gates will open at o'clock a. IN.
The carnival yesterday selected Hon.

TASTE IN FUNNY STORIES.
Those Which Are HarmIess tn Soune
Minds Are Exceedingly Vul-
gar to Others


It is sometimes hard to draw the line
between that which is humorous in a
story and that which touches danger
ously near the domain of vu]garity. A
literary dinner given recently brought
this difference in tastes prominently
into view, says the Chicago Chronicle
At THE ri ght of the hostess sat writer
who has a record for artistic indecency.
At her left was a man whose work is
sometimes crude. always clean, Wig
orous, sincere.
At first all went well. Then the
beautiful decadent was moved to tell
a story. He told it we'll. It's improperly
was subtly suggested, airily outlined.
1t was the sort of a story that makes
one want the windows opened, but that
one does not openly resent.
The hearers accepted it with vary
ing degrees of polite appreciation, but
the man of direct and uncompromising
views sat and stared in growing won
der at the teller. Finally he expressed
his opinion.
81 wouldn't tell that story in bar
rooIn,'' he announced. clearly, emphat-
ically.
An awful hush. A mad and general
plunge into innocuous conversation.
The sympathy of the diners was with
the critic. but social amenities must be
preserved.
The hostess, who collects literary
lions. should not take it for granted
that the law of the jungle insures kim
dred feeling among the royal beasts.

MUCH RAIN HURTS FISHING.
No Big Catches of Trout or Bass In
Western Lakes and Streams
of Late.

Usually long, frequent, and heavy
rains throughout the middle west ano
northwest have put back the fishing
AS general thing proprietors of re
sorts on the inland lakes like to see
a wet spring, as those lakes are mostly
too shallow, and the higher the water
the better the fishing. There has been
too much of good thing, however
says the Chicago Tribune.
The floods have washed quantities
Of food into the lakes and the bass are
not eager. The trout is, above all
things, clean fish, and must have clean
water in order to feel well. When the
streams are muddied and sand and
chips are floating down the trout re-
treat to their hiding places in the deep
er pools and stay there until the water
above them clears. The bass are not
so susceptible, but still dislike to roam
much or do much feeding in waite that t
is distributed or swollen.
1t is the belief that the present sea-
son will be better than many of those
past, because the high water now
means full lakes later. In late July
and August they have been too shall
low, but enough OF water has been
stored up to last them through. In
some places they are six feet above
the ordinary level.
