Despite Bad Weather

Altho the Weather Was Threatening

Crowds Visit the Big Show After

srudge against the carnival company
With ideal weather on the opening day,
when business is never expected to be
good, he lured the company with raise
hopes that the week promised good.
1t has been conceded that the weather
alone meant the financial success of
the big autumn festival of entertain
ment. and while, under the cireun-
stances, the attendance has been large.
it is not half what 1t should have been,
and would have. had the weather
proved anywhere near favorable.
Altho the rain threatened during the
entire day good-sized. crowds were
present Thursday at both afternoon
and evening shows. The paid attend
was 1858. TO say nothing of those who
purchased season tickets in advance ei
the opening day. The close of Thursday
showed 1858 to be the paid attendance
record for the first four days. Every
night after the business was over,
fair Luna has begun to show her face,
as If anxious to crawl out from behind
the clouds. yet apparently ashamed
that she had not put in an appearance
earlier In the evening. This has given
the carnival people additional false
hopes. and the thought that the NOR
row would surely bring With ii wealth
er suitable for the big outdoor show.
The break of each day. however, has
been more discouraglng than the pre-
vious. so that now but one is left on
which an exceedingly big business can
be expected, providing the weather
man is kind.
The Afternoon Performances.
The afternoon free show was OF the
usual high standard, and included the
MIllimans on the slack wire; Maxi
mas In his steer throwing act; the
Millers In their aerial turn: the Adairs
in bag punching; Lane 81 Suznetta in
Roman sword combats and cannon BAH
juggling; and LaBelle Fatima in the
slide for life The balloon ascension
at about O'Clock, by Jimmie Bald
win, was one of the prettiest of the
week. There was but little wind, ana
the balloon went almost straight In the
air, and travelled only short distance,
Baldwin making his leap and alighting
near the canning factory.
The Evening Show.
The evening show comprised the Nh
limans on the trapese: Renix Bros.
quartet: the Brandons in Roman
rings; Nine. Vallecito's animal act;
the Alton children In tumbling: White
e Lemart; and the Millers. Captain
Stanley was to have done his high

Letter to MIR. Fred Hopkins, Marshall
town, Iowa,

Dear Sir: There was a time when Il
paid painter to paint lead and Oil. and
fight shy of anything else. That was
when the market was full OF poor
paints, and zinc was unknown.
Now zinc has come III. lead and OIL
must give way--it is too short lived.
There are two ways to use zinc; you
can mix it In with lead In tub, or buy
Devoe Ready Paint, which is ground
by machinery.
If you mix your own lead and zinc,
you gain something; If you buy Devote
you gain more. because machinery does
better work than hand mixing. Ex-
perience is worth something. We've
had LAG years of 1t.
Yours truly.

Mr.. Toggs was peculiar: but every
one is peculiar who is assertive and
does not think in all things just as we

generosity varies so that we cannot
always accept even the judgment of
friends.
Mr. Toggs was generous with him.

1t was in his family relations that
Madam Gossip charged him most UNI
