I and My Money At The Fair. I had a little Illoney to start with dur Ing the first two or thrcc days of the Fair. I had written home for intmiey. Rather, say, I had writteii Fatiler and told him how hard I was studying, how much I wished I had studied more in high school, how much by brother would need his high school education and to mak'e him study hard, and how much I needed money for the Fair. Father sent ile fifteen dollars, so with out selling my natch I thought I had enoughi. Don't thnik, though, that I had all that fifteen dollars--M. illriiett charged tell cents for cashing the check. The first days of the Fair were .nit very exciting. I didn't spend much. Counting the dollar and a half I got for iy watch, I had ne,arly ten dollars Thursday. But, fool that I was, I ilet a GIRL (curses on the name) and was her escort before I could escape. Scientists tell us that an normal person needs only 2000 calories of food each day. If that is true, and a calory is equivalant to a "hot dog," that girl was certainly abnormal; for I swear that she ate 5000 "hot dogs." No, since I am calmer about the thing, she may not have had more than 3000. If she had been one of the free exhibitons I could have enjoyed it. It must have been imarvelou-., wonderful-to the man who was not pay ing for thenil. \\'lien I finally gt lici ii tl lunch stand it dlevelopled that she h;il al ways had ;in ainbit,in to ride 'n the caterpil lar." She said it luist h aw fully exciting, with tihe c(lvLr pulled (lown i and just she ail I. if NhIl hiappeIIed to get faint. ()r anything.

She was eIjoyiIng the w(mleiful Ilorse witli five legs s Intich that I hated to leave her, but businies., was blsiless s' I went nider the tent wall ;imd theni t. the football game. Onl Ily way to, thc field I bought a Ickage of C;allels. Ill still my twitching nerves, and wenit itI'( the gate with three cents ill imly picket.
