About 1t.

The kickers, like the poor, we have
with us always. While the world
would probably not be complete with
out them, we must confess that we
never have been able to see any real
necessity for their existence. OF the
thousands Of people who visited the
Carnival last week, it is safe to say
that ninety-nine per cent were highly
pleased and satisfied with the enUer-
tainment offered. The remaining one
per cent is made up Of a class of in
dividuals to whom the spending Of a
dime is more painful than the twist
of a dentists forceps, and to whom
death would come as a welcome relief
we're they called upon to cough up a
whole dollar.
One penurious old farmer called at
the OBSERVER office to denounce the
entire show as a ''graft" and, upon
being questioned as to the cause Of
his displeasure, gave out the startling
information that one Of his boys had
spent rs cents the day before for
peanuts, pink lemonade, rides on the
merry -go-round and other pleasures
dear to the youthful heart. The
miserable old skin-tlint looked as if
he were booked tospend the remainder
of his days in the poorhouse on ac-
count Of this prodigality on the part
of his reckless SON..
The boy, who had accompanied the
old man, wore a satisfied grin, and
apparently had no kick coming. 1t
was evident that he felt that he had
got the worth of his money. He had
watched the trick mule; had fed pea
nuts to the monkey, and enjoyed him
self in a thousand boyish ways. We
will wager that the happy memory of
the good time enjoyed at the Dallas
Carnival will occur to that boy
thousand times this Summer as he
tolls and sweats in the harvest field
and hop yard to save his parsimonious
old dad $40 or $50 that otherwise
would have to be paid out for hired
help. The boy enjoyed spending that
rs cents, as he had a right to enjoy it;
but the old man was out the price, and
imagines he can see penury and woe
staring him in the face.
The Carnival was a good thing, if
for no other purpose than to loosen up
a few old tight-wads from whom it is
usually impossible to get money with
out the aid of pair of pinchers. The
farmers who believe in enjoying life
as they go along, brought their
families to town and had a good time
They were not obliged to spend any
great sum Of money, and were given
value received. They will go back to
their homes glad that they attended
the Carnival, and rested and refreshed
for the hard work that comes with the
harvest season.
