Leon W. Washburn's great circus
has come and gone,and as a consquence
of the show's visit, there are a number of sadder, yet wiser, heads in Clare
and vicinity, Kot that the people
didn't get their money's worth at the
circus—for that was fair—but the
faMrs or confidence men with the circus are the cause of the sad,
yet wiser heads. It is estimated
that the sharps raked in about
$1,000 on the shell game and other
tricks.. Among the number who gambled at the sharpers' game was one of
our own profession (it grieves us to say
it). A. E. Harvey, the guileless editor
of Clare's prohibition paper, who, sad
to relate, was victimized to the tune
of $5. (Ifc might be well to say that,
inasmuch as Editor Harvey is lately
from Canada, he therefore hasn't had
the opportunity to learn the ways this
side of the border, although he considers himself familiar with our institutions and capable of teaching us how
to vote.) P.S.—The above is "tenderlyj
and lovingly bestowed." A church
deacon from a neighboring town was
done up for $50 or $60. A school teach- <
er dropped $20; he says he was mesmerized, A German resident of Clare
was to receive $10 for rushing in a
crowd to see the "rooster band." But
the sharpers wanted to see if he had
$10. He hadn't, but his wife had, and
when they put up their ten, the sharper grabbed it, but the woman was on
hand and she grabbed too, getting the
most of it, and had enough pieces left
to get a new bill at the bank. Farmers from the north and south, east and
west, dropped their,nice elegant green
Williams into the sharpers' fund. And
so one might go on with a long list of
those who dropped their hard-earned
dollars, and among whom we are informed (but there, we don'fc believe a
word of it!) were some of the most
prominent of the Law and Order
league, but space forbids. And then,
too, if we mentioned any more names,
we might get our darned old head
punched.
