Pardon me for asking the question, but
will you tell me where you are from 2
Down South bit,' responded the man.
Are You connected with any show p
No.
And are you buying this animal for

Yes
Barnum shifted about uneasily for a
moment, looked alternately at the man and
the tiger, and evidently trying bis best to
reconcile the two together.
Now, young man, he finally said, you
need not take this animal unless you want
TO, for there are those here who will take it
of your hands.
Il don't want to sell, was the quiet re-
ply.
What on earth are you going 10 do with
such an ugly beast if you have no show of
your own, and are not buying for some one
who is a Snowman p
