'l'urn- ing' ahout who should ohstruet our way hut Frank Leahey wilh a eouple of pair of trou- sers thrown over his arm. We were so sur- prised or rather morlified that we started toward the Fair without a word to either. When we arrived at the grrounds our attention was first attracted hy a. short. heavy hnilt man who hail - aj all the appearam'es ol? fi 2 g'en1'leinan and who seemed ' to have great dillieulty in Cl speaking the English lan- S- Q , lb guage.

NVe went im- mediately to the huilding and found the exhihit with little dif- fienlty, 'l'or a large eleetrie sign with the name G. A. Lines, proprietor, attracted the atten- tion ol? every one entering the door. 'l'here was Venus sitting amid his diamonds, ruhhing his hands and evidently enjoying life and at od ,ls with no one. Just as lf was going to speak to Venus a. lank individual stepped up and in 'a decidedly Pennsylvania. accent drawled out.
