The smoothest fakir that ever visited the town was hero Saturday. He did not confine his grafting to the "Rube" or raw specimen, but caught and fleeced tho knowing ones as well. Tho sharper procured a livery rig and, accompanied by his wifo and a driver, drove up and dowu the principal streets announcing his exhibition. Ho waved a lingo knife, fully three feet long, in tho air, aud announced that the lady would swallow it. Having created sufficient sensation, he came to rest at the coruor of the rail road park at Sixth and Front streets and opened his exhibition. Ho was immediately surrounded by a curious and expectant tbroug. Having secured the usual small boy as assistant he proceeded to do a few rope tricks. After awhile tho lady was going to swallow tho knife. Ho would also cut off tho boy's head. This he knew sounded impossible, but was easy "if you knew liow. " Ho told the boy that ho was Sauta Cluus and explained his ' youthful npicarance by stating that the Old Santa with whiskers wa his father and that lie himself was young Sauta Cluus. Ho poured forth an unceasing torrent of words aud kept his audience laughing aud happy. Before tho lady swallowed the knife, the sharper took tho opportunity to stato tho business feature of the en tertainment. Ho was introducing a new metal, which would replace vory largely tho use of gold in Jewolry, It was a new alloy, somewhat resembling brass, but would not tar nish. It would always look like gold though there was uot a particlo of gold in it. It was just as good as gold and "fit for a king or queen to wear." As a starter bo would give away a few cuff buttons. Iu this dis tribution, however, bo was troubled, because tho buttons wero secured by boys instead of men. To remedy this ho would charge a small amount, say 2."i cents, for each button. Having secured a purchaser, ho immediately gave the mono., back, saying, "Buy cigars with this. Take tho button, and nil 1 nsk is, that you wear it, show it to your friends and talk about it. " Ho gave away ajinmbcr of but tons under this plan, which seemed to him a good one. Tho charging of the fee shut out tho pestiferous small boys, so that the buttons wont where they would do sumo good nnd ho always gave tho money buck. Then tho faker exhibited rings, watch chains, diamond pins aud wnt:hes. Ho would sell tho rings at 50 cents each, tho chains at f 1, the pins, not real diamonds, but "Mon tana" diamonds, at. t-h Of course if anyone wished to soil this stone after wards for JUKI, as a real diamond, that was none of his business. The watches would be sold at 20 each. So tho grafter began selling rings at i0 cents each nnd giving tho money buck. Ho Would sell three dozen rings. The remark was heard that he could not sell that many. "What," roared the faker. " I can't, can't I?; I'll just show tho gentleman that 1 can sell these rings and sell them, not at GO cents, but nt well, I won't say il. I'll say $2 apiece". Ho scribbled his initials on a piece of impor, inserted it ill a ring and offered the combination for sain at f-', soon secur ing a taker. He pretended to bo about to give the money back, when a better thought struck hiin. Ho deposited the t'2 in a box and J nit f2 more of "tho company's money on top of it, laying to the purchaser, '"Stand right where you lire. Don. t move. " The snlo of rings was lively, each pur- baser expecting to get the $2 hack and $2 morn with it. The knowing ones knew, of course, that it was "skill game," but slid not rightly locate the point at which thu "skin ning" would lake place. They felt tU iu buying the rings, for was lie not going to sell chains, pins and watches? All the while, tho lady -tat in tho hack and smiled at each purchase. Pretty soon she would swallow the knife. When thu sharper had sold as many rings as isissihle, lie called iu the slips which he hud given w ith each purchase and redeemed each one with a watch chain. Then he iiinoiiuced that Iho show was over itid that ho would no iu tho same place at 7 o'clock in the evening to sell holies' goods and watches. Prob ably uImi the latly would swallow the '.lnfe ;it that time. But he never came hack. For .' each purchaser has a brass ring and a tin watch chain, jxissihly aggregating 2"i cents in value. The faker is supsiscil, on a rough es timate, to have secured about flOO. Iln is young, good looking, with a mesmeric flow of language and a'phe uomenal Milot'thuess.
