Now and then you see a man so
patient that be even can sit down and
wait his turn to try to work a puzzle.
No, We'll take that back; there isn't

them, all hands want the rings at the

them first can't do the trick, but he
hasn't sense enough to give up and let
YOU have them. You ask him to let
you try it, but the stubborn fool works
away. Finally he gives it up. You
reach for the rings. but another fellow
grabs them. Of course, he Is too stupid
to do anything with them, but
he holds to them as If they were his
child.
At last you get them. You have
had them hardly ten minutes when an
impudent whelp reaches over and
catches hold OF them, 1t looks as If he
is going to try to take them away from
you. After you give it up, several
others fail on it. When the rush Is
over, no one in the crowd would give
two cents to know how the trick is
done, and the fellow who owns the
rings puts them in his pocket and goes
On ebout his loafing.
