There are certain conditions which
will exist under the same circumstances.
When there is an unusual attraction in
city there will be a crowd of people
who come to see. In the crowd there
will be persons who make their living
by their wits and light fingers who come
to get. individuals sometimes learn by
experience, but crowd does not learn
by the printed experience of the TN
lucky fellow
As the State Fair is coming ON, it
seems pertinent TO remark that events
are chronicled to happen trebly The
Fair will be the third great attraction in
the city of Shreveport. Two circuses
and one Fair equals three events. Dur
ing the day of the first circus some may
have been relieved of their purses or
watches, but kept quiet on that score.
During the day Of the second circus the
unluely ones squealed and the items got
into the newspapers, and were read by
almost everybody.
The Fair will cap the climax of our
attractions, and presumably the largest
crowd will circulate through the city
and swarm into the Fair. Of course
that is just what Shreveport wants, and
it will get it.
But before the crowds get in it might
be suggested that il is not necessary for
man TO carry his money UP his sleeve
SO it can be picked out by any light
fingered that know just how to do the
trick OF course to see Fair a person
has to have money over and above his
expenses. So far good. But is it a good
plan to bring with you all the money
you possess just to keep it from getting
lonesome while you are awayl Would
it not be more sensible to just bring
enough money for current expenses and
wear your pocketbook tied to chain
around your neck SO no one can pick it
unless they yank your neck off ? And
If lady is going to buy winter suit
costing $50 or a gentleman, is going to
buy a 500 overeoat, why not check it 7
A check is not so easily handled by one
to whom il does not belong
Then again, the ladies might leave
their diamond rings at home SO that
they would never have to mourn their
loss. Really, a person goes to a fair to
see, to learn and to enjoy the passing
moments while they fly For the time
being the every day wishes and wants
are iii a measure thrown aside, 50 intent
is one on seeing the marvellous gaining
new ideas. which if gained will give
some new incentive TO life
Last, If you are coming TO Shreveport
TO the Fair, # you are in Shreveport and
are going TO the Fair, decide upon the
day, and then make yourself pro-
grafnme of action, and then fill it. Re-
member that the museun1, a government
display, should be looked into, and adj.
dresses by men of note should be lis
tened 10 with attention, as these are
sources of information which will bene-
fit you in the long run of life.
There was a saying, we live to
learn May be we did, once upon a
time. But now when we supposedly
know it all as soon as we light on earth,
and now we live. on the ragged edge of
pleasure. Not but what pleasure is es-
sential to the wellbeing of every person,
but it should be real TO gain real pleas
IRE the senses must be on the alert, the
mind responsive, and the emotion sub
seqtent TO the intellect.
So it is that In State Fairs, and other
fairs, people have their best opportunity
to gain real pleasure which will leave a
lasting influence upon the individual
