A SNOWMAN sold" Showmen as g
general rule are tolsrably " sharp" and it
is no easy matter to overreach them ; but
when they are fooled, it is matter Of
great amusement to those present. l was
q witness to one Of the best sells" Of the
kind have ever heard Of. Last summer
there was an exhibition in tent, on one
Of the public lots-a sort Of menagerie On
a small scale. Before the entrance to the
tent, the proprietor was boasting Of the
innumerable wonders to be seen for shil-
ling, to a considerable crowd. While in
the midst of a speech overAowing with
big words, he was somewhat summarily
interrupted by the following exclamation
from a man near him who had boy with
him:
ell bet you a five that you can't let
me see that lion !"
"Done," said the Snowman, eagerly.
Put up your money"
The man placed FIVE dollar bill in the
hand Of by-stander, and the Snowman,
counting out the change, did the same.
Now walk this way" said the show
man and I'll convince you!"
The man and the little boy followed
him into the tent. the whole crowd fol-
lowing.
There" said the Snowman triumphant
ly. " Look in that corner, at that beau
tiful Numidian lion!"
Where" asked the man, looking in
every direction but the right one.
Why, there" vas the astonished re-
ply.
L don't see any" responded the other.
What's the matter with you ?" asked
the Snowman, who began to "smell avery
large MICE" a@4s
I'm blind :" was the grinning reply.
That Snowman was very industriously
engaged iD turning out the crowd, for the
next few minutes, while the blind man
pocketed the stakes and went his way
