There was a Chicago man who found
out that he was not SO peculiarly en-
dowed by nature as he supposed. An
inch more than usual would proven
bially be a great deal on nose. This
man had it, and in consequence he
overrated his Nasal Importance. A
test proved that it does not render him
thrilling to the masses. He is a cigar
maker by trade. Whenever he took
his walks abroad he was gazed at in
amazement. "If l am to be looked on
as a curiosity" he reasoned, lit would
be better to make a lazy living with
my abnormal nose" So he took his
big features to the manager of a ten
cent museum. "Very WE'LL" was the
offer which he received: "I'll do just
the same by you that l do by any
other new freak. We can't tell what'll
catch on with the public. You can
have a place on the platform for a
week. If you make failure, I'll give
you five dollars. If you hit 'em, I'll
fix square, liberal salary" But,
how'm l to know whether 1 hit 'em?'
the amateur curiosity asked. "By
seeing whether the folks. stop to look
at you. That's the test The nose
was not potent. What had been novel
in private life was almost disregarded
in a professional. The man has re-
turned to his cigar bench.

thirteen years, and when opened that
