also several thousand tax-paying citizens
and their families present. The keepers of
the portals Of the fair grounds eyed the
complimentary passes Of the apostles with
suspicion, but nevertheless let them pass
within the gates.
1t was a great place to be. within that
and many to do. Yes, indeed. The
apostles had not been on the grounds half
and hour before they were each and all
ready to swear that the Montgomery
county fair presents the most elaborate
and comprehensive exhibit Of devices to
separate the unsophisticated from their
maZooma that has ever been brought to-
gether in one place. The fair has been de-
scribed as a great educational factor. That
Is modest description. 1t Is all OF that,

There were many persons, whose regular
habitat Is the peaceful surrounding rural
section who acquired enough education
along certain lines at the exhibition yes

Song of the Siren.
Hardly had the guileless visitors passed
the display of machinery near the gates
and refreshed themselves with real water
from the old pump than siren song was
borne to their unsuspecting ears. The song
emanated from a unique little educational
institution located in a booth. The music
cannot be reproduced in cold type, but
the words were as follows:
Now, gents, step right up. I'm going to
give away $50 or $50 right now, SOS to git
a lot in the game, fer 1 knows II I git 1t

and If you all don't win more'n "a on the

gents, here's something fer nuthin'; step

also drew nigh surreptitiously. On the ta-
BILE before them were lot of numbers,
