"I'm awfully worry, but I'm too tired," or with, "I have Home work .that I must do, old man, Horry;" or again by, "Haby la cutting Ida second teeth and Is too fretful Indeed for me to leave him." No, not by any of these good old folia will you strive to escape my party, for I have bamed the. weakness of you all. W will enter, 1 think, at the Douglas street gate. It Is a terrible Jam. I know, and we could probably g(t tr rough the Fiiriiain street entrance nlore easily, but this the proper eye Ob. 8o Rude. from the main entrance. Yes, I have at last crush about we will go la It the the the In. tickets, beaatly window, too and Hear the music? band playing, John? or what was that, Mary? that vibrant nasal tone? Rurely that's the Cairo crowd. Now here's our chance to rU along a bit through the crush; keep our mouth shut, girls, con fetti Is at txwt dry stuff, and keep a huud on your pocketbooks. See, this row of stalls on each side of the street, they are gay enough with green and red and orange, but, they are for busi ness Just the same; here la where our man ufacturers and. merchants spend moneV for our sport in -order that they may receive much more- money back again in later months. This is calkd advertising. See, here la the booth of 8tuniphopper sj Wooden I'laning mill, whh Its Interesting exhibit long ones and short, flesh color, or. If you like, In the natural woods, all supplied with our patent unnatural artton joints and reversible anneals. Now. John, when they bring you to aft-r the trolley accl- clnt. you know who to call for "Btump- hopper." House such as these are the fu- ' ture of our city; they say this one concern keeps a hundred bands busy making legs. And the next stall, that with the trl-oolor iimrii, inui s oki i -oil i, i iiKe ft l.lme exhibit. Hee the great pile of hard coal! Its insured for thousands, they say, and a watchman with a rllie guards it night and day. .. .. 11 Nineteenth to the north, as you see. Is the Midway, but we'll go about tho grounds first. I'm not going to 'carry you alt across this muddy entrance, and, any way, it would be the Rubicon, for If we go In there first we'll never see the In ntructlve exhibits. To the left la the In clined way of the diving clk- they're not Informing now; we'll return later and here Is another row of merchants' exhibi tions and a Ferris wheel. Come along all, we must see the exhibits .of the cqunty fair, which are in the row on Twentieth atteet. Some of the biggest pumpkins that ver grew are there and we must see them. A fellow told me that they have the thing th:it eornmeal Is made of. Isn't It great? llcie Is the bandstand, up where you can liea tli music from the windows of lie rluh. No tice, all. the tremuloso of the tone It is the Italian musicians shivering. I'opr fellows, they come from a wanner, mmiilT land, where the ringers on the valves do not grow too stiff and numb to execute the 11 major turn. Now. we have satisfied, tluit stubborn spirit within Us that onnaoiotts the feeling that we must do our duty to ths things which Improve so now wa L3?JZ!&fAJMm arranged ,o " -re rfirTw greet the ills have the Midway and a heart at justifiable gaiety. Here are the towers anil MUQj; xbersl THE'STRESfFAflE platforms of the acrobats, the tend, the tousled music and the ur, kempt be.-im; and over there a camel, patched and lallnused, moth-eaten and mildewed a contemorary of the stuffed horse In the harness shop chewing three plccna of hay with loose-hung jaw and sneering bitterly and gamely at the crowd But, friends, it is not these exhibits which we have come to see; not the shows and people who have come here to show themselves and be a show for the eagerly gullible. Not there lies the fun. We waste time If we do not see those who have come hese, not to be looked at, but to gaze. In other words, my friends, the unconscious crowd. fiee, you thousands, T screw Into my shirt bosom this ten ounces of lead-glass bril liancy, and am Indeed the showman: "Here ye ure. Step up ladies and gents; this amusing exhibition Is called "The Fleshy Ijiidy and the Turnstile. (let front seats for your girls, young fellows; It's a fine free advertisement for physical cul ture." You will observe all. Here comes the I'lump lAdy and daughter Jane. Mother's a bit red and puffy from the crowd, and her bonnet has swooned over one ear, but Jane Is all eagerness and good condition. . "I'ome along, mother," she -says cheerily, hurrying up one of the aisle; "this way mother, hurry." Mother is breathing, but she closes up the gap, and In trying to get through the stile in the same angle with Jane, gets a nasty poke from the b;ir t about what is technically termed the obliqus externus obdomlnls. "My," she says, and Jane, who is on the Inside, tries to come out to her assistance. "Can t go out this gate," says the gentile turnstile man. "I'd like to know why 1 can't" demands June, annoyed. "Uecause the gate only turns one way. You'll have to go round to the exit." Mother has made up her mind that the man did not really mean any harm, but was simply careles besides, the crowd is behind her; so she advances cautiously, but dodges the arm which seems to be coming up behind In a cowardly mmner to hit her when she Is not looking. But the kindly man In charge assures her that It is safe and that the crowd can't wait ti o long, so the Fleshy Lady advunc.es. Just ixa she knows that she, can t , pos Iblv get inruugn, me gate clicks its number and sno m '"aught. Struggling to move either forward or back.

Jane Is wringing mmner is ringing ud an- other -number, when the . keeper gives a pull, the crowd pushes, something tears a little and the Flashy Ijjdy is inside. If you're pleased with the performance, ladles, and gents, tell your friends. The exhibition to the right is Justly entitled. "Two Oirls, an Aunt and the Youag Men With the Confetti." I ll have to ask the audience to be quiet, as it is difficult for the speakers to be hrard. The company which cornea through the crowd consists of an aunt, nice elderly party, looks likely to be fiery If rouaed; two girls, tidy, subdued manlier, without too much meaning It. Coming from the other direction, would you observe two merry-looking young fellows. As they pass one of the young men nudges the other and showers the blonde young woman-face, hair and hat-with confetti, while the second young man marks the brunette. "How outrageously rude!" exclaims the fair Hie. intending to stare coldly at the bold young man. but pausing to wipe a disk of blue paper from her eye. "They oughtn't to allow me horrid stuff," dark-eyes. says "They ought to be ar rested," cries the first. "Now. girls." put In Aunt, ouletly, "they didn't mean to be rude. While rather rough, it was meant In plajr." "I don't eare," ends bh.e- " eyes, posing lor a oy to !i I til nUU "Annoy aoos."
