With n alp and a bang that
brought to tho minds of many of
those present cherished memories
of the good old days when a man
lived a man's life nnd honor wns
the law of the land, thn Klks' West
ern Night opened nt tho Tcniplo
Inst evening. ' Tho stnrt was aus-
plclous and Indicated Hint tho en
tertainment, which Is nn annual
event, will surpass Its predecessors
nnd set a pace that futuro Nights
still find difficulty In hllttlng. Tho
entertainment Is not confined to
members of tho Klks, but Is open
to everyone, and ovcryono should
attend, both for tho good tlmo ono
can huvo and to glvo what llttto can
be spared to swell thu fund, for all
of tho money realized goes to carry
on the chnrltuhle work conducted by
the Klks.
The idea carried out In tho af
fair has It foundation In thu wide
open town of the early days tho
dnys when the crept hanger nnd
lllue Sunday pest wero unthought
of Those wero tho days of real
sport, when the gambling Joints,
dunce hulls, and other, sources of
amusement held sway, without leav
ing lasting Influences upon tho
strong characters that demanded
vigorous sources ot amusement and
pleasure. Many today dream ot
those times und, as they listen to
porno old-timer toll of tho happen
ings of frontier days, -wish they
lived or could experience lomo ot
thu exciting episodes that havo gotto
forever. '
Well, hero Is thn chanco. For a
