Tie "Carry-Ps-All" Is a humble Instltu- |od. Wooden horses, carved giraffes, unl- lorns and allegorical figures mounted upon ii mechanical device which turns and turns tnl turns from morning until night, at fire •eats n turn, ordinarily would not be looked tpon as an inspiring subject for illumina- tion ln the columns of an amusement riurnal. But take It from me, reader, olonel Charles W. Parker has done bis ahire and more, ln bringing Joy into the Ives of the little ones, incidentally separat- ing the elder ones from, their ready change, ill hall! therefore, to "America's Amuse- ntnt King" and may he, in the years to tone, evolve even better modes of amuse- tvnt than he has in the past. Colonel William A. Lovelle arrived ln CM- obo Monday moraine, 22, and favored the a'estem Bureau of The New York Clippb* with a call. Within the past month he re- turned from Australia where he had spent a twelve month. The Antipodean winds, the ton of the semi tropics, the experiences in tie land of the bush-man and the kangaroo, Sparently has not, to any way, or in any tree, changed the colonel He s the same f top, picturesque ln his personality, a*nl<l to nature, and ever- ready to com- mingle with his friends, as ln the days of »we. In an interview the colonel said : "Clark street looks Just as it did when I left for ay Australian trip. Of course, there have ken some improvements, but on the whole ale dear old thoroughfare, so loved by thea- flans, is after all, Just about the same as it always was. About my adventures ln Aus- walla—well, there Is not so much, to say. anstralla lv a wonderful country, and It s tie best show country ln the world Nothing lite It. I was given a grand reception there, nd I must say that ln all my travels throughout the various portions of the world, J have never experienced so marked a degree 4 hospitality and genrons tratment as was accorded me while sojourning under the toutiern Cross." Ton know it is a remarkable thing about some of these show folks, days come and fcya go, with bright, with stormy weather, ids and downs, triumphs and failures, hopes rad disappointments, but the spirit of Momus ■areas to imbue and radiate and preserve neat. Colonel Lavelle Is somewhat reticent ln eg&rd to bis future plans, but he confesses fiat when he saw Old Glory waving trium- phantly to the Golden Gate, at 'Frisco, his leart bounded with a feeling of thankfulness to get back to the land of the free and tie tome of the brave. According to all accounts the Canadian latlonal Exhibition at Toronto broke all ■cords. This event has long been looked Von as the premier affair of Its character an the North American continent. Accord- tog to Smith B. Hall who was there, and who favored the Western Bureau of Tim Jsw Yobk Clippbb in Chicago with a call aecently, the attendance at the Canadian rational Exhibition was ln the neighborhood sf two million. Thb Con. T. Kennedy shows furnished the amusement attractions and did a wonderful •nainess; ln fact. It Is said, they broke all accords for carnival engagements in Can- ada. Con. T. Kennedy Is a shrewd show- Ban and may be depended upon to pick out the dark spots and make good. BIVBEVIEW PARK. The gates of KJverview Exposition are dosed, arid not until next Spring will they ♦pen to entertain the multitudes. In the tuantlme It Is gratifying to state authorita- tively that the season of 1913 has been the cost profitable one to the history of this vast amusement resort. Certainly the management of IUvcrvlcw Imposition was entitled to make a record, *r they spared no pains, no expense In as- sembling gigantic amusement features for He edification of Chicago people. There Is nothing small about Blvervlew Irposltlon. Its very atmosphere breathe* greatness. Its vast expanse, filled with structures devoted to the entertainment of the masses, has been thronged throughout the season just closed, and the features provided lave given general satisfaction.

Some alleged conversationalists arc merely ahorers who are engaged ln filling the bel- lows of speech with wind. No show can be successful when the mem- bers of the troupe continually talk of Its failure. Many big shows have been on the verge of ruin. If the fact Is generally known among the employees It gets known to the prospective patrons. Whereas a smiling face and a show of prosperity saved the day— don't knock, but boost. Men are what they think. As a man Is ln his heart so Is he. If he Is optimistic ln his thoughts he will succeed. If he Is cow- ardly, nervous, hesitating, pessimistic, he will never get anywhere. Think success, act success and you are bound to be a success. Almost anyone can make a start In life, but how many make a real finish. Be optimistic, for It's worth dollars and cents. Be cheerful, for It means health and success. Be pleasant, for It means your tread and butter, your Job, better business, better living. Even If your sky seems clouded, turn it wrong side out and show the silver lining No one likes a grouch, no one cares for the pessimist. Charity that expects a return on the In- vestment Isn't charity. Tis a wise concessioner who puts a young.

There Is one thing about hens that looks like wisdom—they don't cackle until after they have layed the egg. The successful man never tells you what he la going to do next Of an sad words I've read about. The saddest are these: I am down and out Smile while you can- It is well in life's plan To smile while you can, And can a few smiles while you may: For smiles are worth while And are always In style, And a smile will be needed some day. Even after a man reaches the top he may not successfully defy the laws of gravitation. Admitting that the world owes us a living, still you have to show an Itemized statement before you can collect. Speech Is used by some folks to conceal what they think. There is a lot of difference in the effect of being behind the bar and to front of It. Tbe fellow behind has the same percentage In bis favor as a man behind a fiat Joint. The man who directs an enterprise doesn't work half as hard as the man who wortB on it Isn't It worth while trying to be a Boss ? About four more weeks of the present sea- son, then comes the alibis why you did not prepare for Winter. You hare had thirty weeks' work so far. Have you thirty dollars to show for it? Heaven help a lot of show folks I know If they ever cut out the free lunch. And soon the stories of a thousand a week in vaudeville will he in full bloom In the dressing room. In about five weeks more that bad cook house will look mighty good to some folks. ®AJ¥ FRANCISCO. (Special Dispatch to Tm New Yobk Clippbb.)

GILBERT AND MUIR WENT OVER TO PHILADEL- PHIA LAST WEEK TO PLAY A COON 80NC FOR MR. AL JOLSON. HE REFU8ED THE COON SONG, SAY- ING HE COULD NOT USE IT. INCIDENTALLY THEY PLAYED "YOU DID, YOU KNOW DARN WELL YOU DID" MR. JOLSON ASKED TO HAVE IT RUN OVER AGAIN AND AGAIN, FINALLY SAYING "I AM GOING TO SING THAT SONG /YOU DID' IT IS SO ABSOLUTELY OUT OF THE ORDI- NARY THAT I AM SURE OF IT." ALMOST THE SAME THING HAPPENED WHEN WE PLAYED THE SONG FOR ARTIE MEHLIN- CER, AND WILLIE WESTON, UPON HEARING IT, SAID: "IT GOES ON MONDAY. GIVE ME A LEAD SHEET FOR MIKE (MIKE BERNARD). WHAT HE WILL DO TO IT IS A PITY, NOT SAYING A THING ABOUT MYSELF." (THE SONG IS NOT OUT YET, BUT BY THE TIME YOU READ THIS AD. IT WILL BE, AND VOCAL OR- CHESTRATIONS AND PROFESSIONAL COPIES WILL BE, IN SEVEN KEYS, WHICH MEANS EVERY KEY TO SUIT YOUR VOICE). IT WAS PLAYED OVER FOR VALESKA SURATT, AND FIRST SHE DECIDED TO HAVE THE TENOR GEO. BALDWIN SING IT. BUT FINALLY SHE SAID "I WILL DO IT WITH HIM AS A DOUBLE. I CANNOT LET A GOOD THING LIKE THIS PASS ME. ii THE COURTENEY SISTERS IMMEDIATELY AC- CEPTED IT, LIKEWISE THE NICHOLS 8I8TER8. LA TITCOMB PUTS IT ON MONDAY. COL. A. H.
