He had been avvav for some time, and when he returned and heard that a carnival had been allowed to come into the fair grounds to help bear expenses he forthwith determined that he would see for himself as to the alleged immoral features. When he marched up with the crowd to buy a ticket some one yelled, "Yonder comes the J preacher," and the ticket seller. who had been told about certain habits and inclinations of the preacher, vehemently refused to sell him a ticket or to admit him into the show. "I am going in if I have to take a stick and knock my way in," declared the preacher, "and I'll not pay you a cent now since you have acted such a fool I lltfO hnri* *wv4 * II TV 111*1 V) <11111 II II 3 HUI fit for me to see it's not fit for other people to see. I am going in." He then told the man he would get an officer to take him in, but if he couldn't he was go ing in by virtue of a strong arm and a heavy stick. The officer agreed to take him through, the showman submitted and showed the preacher through as an honored guest. No immoral features were noticed by the preacher, so he did not get to tear up the show as he had said he would do if he found immoral features.
