Show MAKES 'EM PAY " Yellowstme Park, Wyo., July 20 The financial wizardry of Henry Ford combined with the showmanship showman-ship of a Barnum are exemplified In a young boy who plies his trade around Fishing Bridge in Yellow-sone Yellow-sone National Park. Dr. H. C. Humpns, wLo is doing field work at the museums In the park, vouches for the story. Borrowing several of the largest fish that have been caught by bis friends the boy arranges them In Inviting In-viting fashion over his back. In his arm he carries a tin can containing a generous supply of grasshopers. Boy and fish attract the attention of practically every fisherman near Yellowstone Lake. "Where did you get those large fish?", they inquire, "They came out of the lake," his casual and truthful reply. "What halt did you use?" "Oh, I've got some grasshoppers that do the trick," Is the young fisherman's fish-erman's comeback. "Where did you get them?" To which the youth answers tbat they; were caught at some distance, probably pro-bably ten or twelve miles away. The upshot of the entire yarn is that the boy usually sells all his grasshoppers at a nlckle each. At the latest report the grasshopper market was still decidedly "bullish." |
