The avocation of a Snowman is not one
in which men generally seek distinction
The conclusion therefore is inevitable, wher
man achieves as wide reputation as thai
attained by the late Phineas I. Barnum,
that he was an unusual man. And that is
lust what he was. He was bold in hi!
projects, fertile in successful advertising
resources, liberal in his expenditures, hui
name and charitable in his business ant
personal relations with his felowmen
These qualities of his manhood were at
tested by his success, and the high persona
esteem in which he was held at home Ii
his case the title of "Prince of Showmen'
was one of honor 1t is not likely that w
will soon look upon another Barnum.
