exposition management onc-fourth of
their gross receipts, knowing full well
that this share would he added to tho
price or the quantity or quality re-
duced proportionatcly, or advantages
taken of the Willingness of visitors to
pay exposition rates. Most of the
concession articles are not among the
necessities of life, but are devised in
the belief that Barnum wns right when
he declared that people were happy in
being humbuggcd. Anyone who buys
n brass mcdel labeled souvenir" docs
SO because ho wants to, and wanting to
he should bo given an opportunity.
ThN Gbap who has his name spun in n

one. He who enjoys the mysteries of
electricity likes to buy useless trinket
made by it and the money he pays he
does not regret. Thus at every turn

trivancc which that sort of visitor
wants.
The conccssionaircs come from every
land, and the chronic grumblcr who
complains Mt the numberlrss devices to
get money can lay no blame to Amcri.
