PREMATURE SUGGESTIONS OF

performance of the task they have set
themselves for the advancement of

There is a squint expression in this
reference to THE profits of the fair,
which might have been intended as a
reflection. Our opinion though IS that
the Examiner dc. not aim TO Call in
question ths se1onntaoIlity of the
management. but the reference was III.

statement was wholly unnecessary as

ed the coupons. which ran up the
total on the register over a thousand.
But even IL there were 5000 paid ad-
missions. at 25 cents each that would
be $4,000. How can the fair associa.
ton pay $4,000 in purses and prizes
on six days at $4,000 per day? There
would still be a shortage of $1,000.
We expect to make a little money on
concessions. One thousand dollars
will be big outside the bar. The
latter was sold for $1,000. Where
are our profits?
II fear the Examiner is condemninc

 7 don't think people are like they were when you were young, You must make a show nowadays if you're going to stay lu society. As WuI says, If we don't trail along with the process sion we'll get left at the post. I'm not sure that that's exactly the way he put 1t, but know he means thut if we didn't do as our friends do we wouldn't have any friends"
 "Uh, huh," grunted the colonel. Its a sort of an up to date version of the Golden Rule-splurge for others if you want others to splurge for you. I've got no particular quarrel with that If you eau afford it. It helps to mako business good. But don't think you can afford 1t. Moreover, it don't make friends and 1t don't keep friends, Moreover, again, there ain't bit of difference between the world now and when I was boy, or when Julius Cae- sar was a boy, for that matter It's al' ways been that way, and l reckon 1t always will be that way. It's been a continuous procession rom Adams time down. and there's always been a lot of people fallin' over one another tryln' to keep the head of 1t in sight.
 But there's a whole lot more, a great many more. now as well as then, who don't care a continental rap about keepin' up with the procession; most of 'em don't even know that there is a procession. and if they did they wouldn't take the trouble to go to the window to see it pass by, much less trail on behind the band wagon, for, honestly now, honey, what's the use? Does the procession ever get anywhere or do anything? Not on your life. It just prances around in a circle and blows Its horn. It puts on lot of style, to be sure, and it looks mighty gay with its ribbons and Its feathers dyin', but the people that's on the out side watchin' it get more entertain ment out of 1t than the ones takin' part in It."
 But what else are We to do, papaT interrupted bis daughter. You don't want us to stay at home an the time and wear our old clothes, do you"
 "No. sIr-ee, little girl. and you know I don't. want you to wear just as pretty dresses as you can afford and have all the fun that's comin' to you, but don't do things you've got no busl. ness to do just because other people do them. and don't imagine that you'll lose any friends if the procession gets away from you. Maybe some of the people you call your friends would get somethin the matter with their eyes when you came along the street if you didn't put on as much style as they did. but that kind of cattle ain't the stuff that friends are made of. There's nothln' finer or sweeter ln the world than a good friend, and the man or the woman that hasn't got real friends is mighty unfortunate, but you can't get 'em and you can't keep em by maxim a show, as you call it.
