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
