discovery There arc several others who arc
working il with him, and with astonishing
E, cccss. Tho "crayon racket" is played some
thing after this style: The young artist

ticularly susceptible After having dis
covered a congressman with the necessary
amount Of vanity, and this is by no means a
difficult matter, he buys one of his photo
graphs which are upon sale in the lobby
Then by means Of the solar print process
he draws in a lifc-sized crayon. Ten dollars
is n fair price for one of these pictures.
After the crayon has been completed he has
it framed and takes it 70 the Capitol The
member is invited to inspect it in his COM
mittee room The artist tolls him. that his
face is such a strong one and shows SO much
intelligence that he drew it from sketches
made in tho gallery simply to show what be
could do. II the victim desires 20 purchase it
he will sell it frame and all for $50 In nine
