(SLAUGHTER OFINNOCENTS
Smooth Grafter With an Old Game
i Catches the Knowing.
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.
