The bungl1ng fakir we desrise, but the
artist at roplng in people we are COM
PEELED to admire; and it was an artist
who sold electric belts on the street Sat-
urday night. The fellow started out by
doing few tricks with cards and coins,
by telling the crowd that he intended to
stay here week and that in that time
he would have from one to two thousand
dollars of their money. He SAID he was
a surgeon of the greatest skill; that he
was the greatest dentist in the world :;
that he could extract 1900 teeth in a day
without pain and with the ordinary for
ceps, or lead pencil, jack knife crho1se-
whip; that he could straighten cross eyes
in two minutes without pain; and that
his method of advertising was in throw
ing away money. Finally he said that
he introduced electric belts as side

world. They were made by concern
worth three millions. Nobody had ever
heard of the company but so smooth was
the fakir that the people took his word
for it. They made a rush for the belts.
