Iowa City. July 15.-And still they
come and still the guilible ones bite
on the old trick whereby they think
they are getting something for nothing
or at greatly reduced prices. The trick
is an old one In new dress but in
spite of the fact that it has been
worked here any number of times the
unwary ones bite with their mouths
wide open and are hooked like the

He was smooth one and he was
accompanied by the usual gaudily
dressed woman with glib tongue and
very obliging manner. enchaned with
innumerable smiles.
The fellow and his consort took his
stand at the corner of College and
Dubuque streets where he Immediately
began giving away" packages OF
dentlfrice which were valuable" for
nothing. OF course the eager ones were
greedy and wished some and reached
with both hands.
Here you've got both hands out
for these. I'll just put price on your
greediness. I'm going to sell these at
IS cents apiece" Many were sold.
Those who had bought were asked to
come forward and receive their money
back. The CRATER gave the purchasers
their money back and allowed them to
keep the dentifrice.
Next some electric belts were ex-
hibited at dollar apiece and many
thinking that this was another chance
to get something, deposited their dollar
and taking the belt. expecting that
they would get the dollar back and be
allowed to keep the belt.
Taking his hat, after he had dis
tributed many pairs around the crowd
at a dollar per, he poured packages
Of dentifrice into the hat and also
handfuls of silver dollars, remarking
at the same time that those who
bought belt would receive a present
from the hat" This induced many
more to buy belts when they saw the
silver dollars being poured into the
hat. Next came the electric insoles
at dollar per and the green ones
who took the belts at dollar per took
pair of soles at the same price, ex-
pecting to receive the money back and
keep the belt and the soles
However they were disappointed for
the fellow talked them to death un-
til the greater number left and none
received penny. The trick is old, has
been worked here many times but
