After deprecating the jrlginallty of the modern crook ho told it what he considered tho sharpest gamo he ever saw worked. "I suppose yon fellows know," ho Slid, "that duriug Centennial year Phil- tiolphia was a hotbed of bunko steerers tud sharpers of overy description. Well, I wus detailed to keep mi eye on these gentry, and in time I bocniucacquainted with most of tho 'big ones. ’ who were generally exceedingly bright men. Ono in particular, who was known us ‘Slick Pete,’ I took a great liking to, for ho t .id an inexhaustible fuml of humor and was a good hearted chap. Towurd tho suil of tho Centennial exhibition ono day I dropped into a down town unction room whore some fako jewelry was be­ fog sold. A lot of watches were offered, and I saw that they had been made evi­ dently for bunko steering purposes, for tho works were good, and the cuscs were mado to look like sol id gold. They were Anally knocked down for $2.15 apiece, and I saw that the buyer was ‘Slick Peto. ‘ Jewelry was out oi his line, but I knew he had some schemo in view. Two mouths pasw.l before I again saw Pete, and then I asked him what he had done with the watohes. He began to laugh and said. ‘Oh, skinned some swindler with them!' Then followed the explanation. He had hired a room and inserted an advertisement in vari­ ous papers something like this; ‘Found —A solid gold watch; Elgin works; loser pay costs. Apply, etc.’ Nearly every crook in town answered the ad. and claimed the watch. Pete, who made np as an old man, seemed a mark, and the ‘fly’ crook, in tho hurry to de­ part, made but a cursory examination. ‘The costs, ’ $10, wore invariably handed over, and In two days Pete had disposod of his stock.”—Philadelphia Record. p a rro ts A re N o v rr O rlgtaat. •IITE W D.
