'HOLDUP' IS
A MYSTERY

Police officers are mystified
today over the reported holdup
last night in A. Larson's drug
store, 1915 Tacoma avenue.
Larson telephoned the police
that a highwayman had entered
the store while a young drug clerk
was alone, and had taken SO from
the clerks pocket, after forcing
him to hold his hands aloft, and
$3.50 from tho cash register.
Later Larson declared that no
holdup had occurred, but that the
clerk had merely been frightened
by a stranger who had entered the
store. He did not explain his re-
port about the missing money.

The Unwelcome Carnival.

Originating as separate institu-
ton about the time Of the Chicago
exposition, and for time more or
less popular in many of the larger
towns and small cities of the country
what is known as the carnival or
street fair has about run its course
through inability to find a sufficient
number of towns close enough to-
gether to stand for it, and it is we'll.
The typical carnival is closely akin
to what is commonly known as the
midway at a county fair. 1t is
made up of an aggregation of various
kinds of shows, some of them respect
able, some not, and all kinds of catch
penny schemes, gambling devices, i'm
moral exhibitions and the like.
The original plan Of operations
was to interest some local fraternal
organization. generally the strongest
and most influential in the town, the
local fire company. the board of
trade or any other public or semi
public institution that could be taken
by the hope of good percentage,
and play the town without license
and backed by all the local influences
that could be brought to bear. 1t
was common in the early days to
inaugurate a voting contest for
ring or some other trinket to be CIV
en- to the most popular young lady"
and often a whole community was
worked up to high state of enthu-
siasm that operated in the interest
of the show people.
Because of its nature, the carnival
game was one that could seldom be
worked twice in the same communi-
ty with equal success. The whole
thing was too transparent. There
were too many people with sufficient
intelligence to realize how they were
being taken in by becoming volun-
tary sponsors for thinly disguised i'm
morality. gambling games and ex-
tremely doubtful methods generally,
under pretense Of help for various
worthy causes. Town authorities be-
came more and more reluctant to ad-
nit such aggregations under any pre-
tense and after time most towns re-
fused to tolerate them at all, even on
the payment of straight license.
During the past several years the
question of admitting carnivals has
been the occasion of controversies be-
tween the citizenship and councils of
various towns throughout South Car
olina and adjoining States, and often
these controversies have been so
heated as to cause much feeling and
lasting enmities. In most cases the
citizens have won and the carnivals
have been tabood; but still there are
towns that cannot resist the bland
ishments of these people and the end
is not yet.-Yorkville Enquirer.
