In fifty, hundred hands were up

When two dozen had been passed
out and the cash received for them,
he lined up two rows of II men each
and, exacting from each the same
promise as before, he gave back to
every buyer his Is cents and % addi-

BY this time the crowd had in

who have been in the last two pools

He then ordered his driver to take
him to the opposite corner, and, OF
course, the whole crowd, including his
pool members, followed him. Again
addressing the crowd, he said:
"Gentlemen, a few moments ago

though it cost me little money, yet

duced some electric telts, and ex-
planned that he wanted to Go little

"Now, gentlemen" he continued, i

pains were so intense that I actually
feared they would drive me mad.
"My eyes ached constantly and there

sometimes they were acute, and again
they were dull and lingering. I could

"That was in December Of 1908. To

ing straight at a we'll dressed business
man, he said:
Haven't you confidence enough in
me to pay me $40 for this Lelt?"
Eyes, sir, l have" said the man,
passing up $50 bill and receiving q
belt.
"Now," said the CRATER, II wish you
would stand right over on this side
of the carriage until I ask you to hold
up your belt. Now he continued,
who will give me SO for this one?''
and turning to one of three colored
men who stood near, he said: "Have
you got SO, sir?"
Eyes, sab, 1 has," came the reply.
"Well, then, give it to me and take
this belt" shouted the CRATER. and
the darby meekly did as requested.
"Now," said the CRATER, you tand
on this other side of the carriage"
Then he asked for a IS investor, at
the same time announcing that one
or two dollars would be accepted, and
Immediately a flood of one and two
dollar pills came pouring in.
Those who paid one dollar he lined
up in one row, and the two dollar men
in another, admonish;ng al that none
should leave until he was through
with them.
After the one and two dollar rush,
he called for ano her five dollar in
vestor, still repeating: 1.-THE more
liberal you are with me, the more gen.
erous l can be with YOU" Two men
came forward, each with a IS bill,
and then four more followed, all of
whom we're lined up by themselves.
At this juncture he began another
talk on the wonderful curative proper
ties of the belts, and then called for
four more $40 investors, whom he
soon found, together with still five
others, making altogether ten $40
dupes.
Turning to the two colored men who
stood looking on, he said: "Why
| haven't you men bought"
Because we hain't got no money, ~
, came the reply.
Addressing their colored conrade in
the SO row, the CRATER said:

played was eight years of age, and

Rage, throw silver pieces and dollar
bills right and left and shout at tho
top of his voice that he intended to
distribute $4,000 on the streets that
afternoon.
AS soon as large crowd had gath
cred at the corner at which he stopped,
he began extolling the wonderful
curative properties of a corn salve
which was. put up in wooden toxes.
Had he been actually selling the rem
edy on its merits, he couldn't have
made stronger or more effective
talk.
Finally, bringing forth his big roll
of money, he said: II have system
of advertising this salve that will
make every man who deals with me
remember it as long as he lives. Now,
gentlemen, the more liberal you are
with me, the more generous can be
with you. My purpose to-day is, first
to sell one dozen boxes of this salve,
and I want every man who makes q
purchase to remain right here. ready
to hold up the box in plain view when
I ask him to do so. Now, then, who
will give me ten cents for this box?
Remember, the more liberal you are
with me, the more generous can be
with you. and l shall sell but one
dozen boxes now. Who will give me
ten cents for this one?"
In an instant, four dozen hands
were up, each holding ten-cent piece.
After handing out IL boxes, he re-
fused to sell any more for the time
being.
When the II boxes had been deliv-
cred and paid for, he lined up the II
buyers in row and said:
"You have been liberal with me,
now I'll be generous with you"
Then, turning to the first man, he
asked him if he would be satisfied to
receive back twice the amount he had
paid, and keep the remedy, too.
When the man said he would, the
CRATER handed him 20 cents, saying:
Now, sir, will you promise me, eth
er to use this salve yourself, or give
it to some one who will, and not for
get the name of it,"
The man agreed and the CRATER
did the same thing and demanded the
same promise in the case of each of
the others.

there being an actual saving of so
cents on every purchase, he had no
difficulty whatever in making q sale
at the house of almost every thrifty
well-to-do farmer. Many a farmer,
who wondered how this man could af-
ford to sell sugar so much cheaper
than the cheapest grocers in many in
stances paid for it several times over.
The graft was more like thieving
than grating. When selling can
of sugar for $1.25, the CRATER would
almost invariably be handed a five,
ten, or even a twenty dollar bill.
Having become very skillful in
palming, he would always keep
palmed in one hand a one dollar bill,
nicely folded in such q way that the
figures would not show on either side.
Should a farmer hand him a larger
bill, he would begin folding it as he
had the one dollar bill, and then
would suddenly say:
"Well, here am, short Of change.
so just let this go, and pay me on my
next trip, in 30 days."
He would then shift the large bill
for the one dollar bill, and, handing
the latter to the farmer, would say:
PUT it in your pocket and pay me-
next time"
There was not one chance In q
thousand that the farmer would un-
fold the bill, but he would sny it care
