Benton. who had opposed his marriage
with his daughter Jessie. became recon
ciled with his son-in- law and took great
pride in his achievements as western
explorer.
The square on the southern side Of
Center market. was then used as a
show ground for circuses and other
peripatctic exhibitions. About this time
p. 4. Barnum was beginning his ca
reer as Snowman and as Colonel Ben
ton was walking down Pennsylvania
avenue opposite this show ground he
was attracted by the words John G.
Fremont uttered in loud voice by a
Snowman standing at the door of a
small tent. in front of which was a
garish caricature of a nOndeScript ami
NAL supposed to represent the ''woOlly
horse" discovered by Fremont in the
recesses Of the Rocky mountains.
Benton stalked across the avenue and
listened with great disgust to the state
mont by Barnum. who was his own
dOOrkeeper and solicitor. that inside
the tent could be found the greatest
natural curiosity in the world. the

Benton denounced Barnum as an i'm.
postor and denied that his sonin-law W
had discovered any such animal. Bar.
mum. who did not know Benton. told
him flippantly to pay his quarter and

whereupon the indignant statesman
called upon the police to arrest Bar.

witness the extraordinary scene. The
police refused to interfere. and Barnum
received free advertisement, much to
his qualification and profit.-0eorge G.
