SWindler, who took the 'roll' and dis
appeared. 1t is reported that one
FlOrldian, residing in Polk county, was
touched" for several thousand dollars
IN this way, but his name has been
withheld for publication. The Tribune
has seen one Of the letters, which came
to Tampa man of means, and it TALES
with the descriptions printed of the let
tiers received in other places.
The most conspicuous victim of the
SWlndle-that is, of those who have
told on themSelves-is William A. Moi
tatt, a prosperous farmer of Anne
Arundel county, Maryland. Moffatt
swallowed the bait, hook and slnker
the frstgulp. He went to Spain with
$1,000 He is of such a generous ma
ture that ne couldn't bear the idea of
making all this vast fortune himself.
so ne let several of his farmer friends
IN on the scheme to the tune of a few
hundred dollars each. He met the
right party in Madrid, the confden-
tlal friend of the unfortunate politi-
cal prisoner, " and gave up the 5000.
Then he waited for developments which
didn't develop.
MOfatt had a terrible time getting
back home. Being unable to cOmmuni-
cate, ne was, for a time, an object of
charity in a strange land. The Madrid
police laughed at him. They thought
the Americans were too smart" to be
caught with such bait. When Moffatt /
returned to Maryland he was penniless, !
ragged and hungry. The
friends he so kindly "let in" refuse to
speak to HIM.
Although this scheme has been Oper-
ated for two or three years now, not
one of the guilty parties has been
caught. The New York detective force
has employed every agency known to
its Sleuths without success. The story
reveals the truth of the saying that
there's a sucker born every minute.

MataHzas Lad Steps on Monster and

Stepping upon six-fOot diamond

thrilling and unpleasant experience of

tor the cypress post in a barbed wire
fence back Of him. He made the top
Of the post sill right and easily stood
upon It as it was broad. The snake
eoiled and the lad claims that It struck
at him as he leaped but that the fangs
only touched his trousers.
The boys cries for help were heard
BY C. J. Dupont and some other neigh

assistance. The snake was later killed
and was found to measure over six

They Catch a sucker

Several Florida people and at least
one Tampan have received during the
past year an alluring letter detailing
the sad plight of an alleged Russian
nobleman," dated at Madrid, the writer
claiming that he had fed from his own
country with a satehel or a trunk full
OF gold, to escape political persecution.
After hiding this where no one else
could possibly find it, he had been ar
rested by the Authorities at Madrid on
advlces from Russia and thrown into
prison. A few Incidents involving a
pretty daughter and love story were
woven into the letter. The proposition
was for theTecipient to get together a
few hundred dollars or a few thousand
according to the reputed wealth of the
victim, and come to Madrid to get the
prisoner out of Jail. Then they would
get the satchel or the trunk and divide
the booty.
If this letter failed to bring a re-
spouse, another came in due time. re-
citing that the writer was still in
prison and that he had been unable to
secure assistance. If a trip to Spain
was out Of the question, would not the
dear, kind American go to New York
city, to an enclosed address, where he
would be met by distant relative or
confidential friend of the writer, who
would receive the money and make all
the arrangements for the release of
the prisoner, who would then secure
his treasure and see to it that his bene-
factor was remembered with One-half
the money. Such safeguards were pro-
posed that the susceptible victim
couldn't see how he could be defrauded
on such fair proposition, and it was
this second letter that always LANDED
the sucker, " if he was landed" at all.
Many Of these letters have been re-
ceived in the United States, and it is
probable that many of them found
dupes who were 50 ashamed of their
that they said nothing for
publication. The cases which have
been published substantially agree. !
Going to New York with the money
asked for, the victim was met by

ROAD DRAGGING.
How the Inventor Of tho King Drag
Discovered His Method

d. Ward King of Maitland. Mo-, in
ventor of the King method of road
dragging, has Il theory which practi e
has demonstrated to be correct. 1t is
that all clay and gunlbo roads should
be dragged with light drag after each
rain or wet spell. The drag smooths
down the rough places and fills up the
ruts. When the sun dries up the road
1t leaves roadbed as smooth and per
feet as city street.
The discovery of this method and the
more important discovery of Mr.. King
were largely accidental. Years ago he
lived on small but well improved
farm near Maitland. He was not par
ticularly interested in the good road
movement as Il national or state ISSUE
but the four miles of road from his
farm to Maitland were of great interest
to him, says the st. Louis Globe-DemO-
crat The road was of that soft, sticky
red clay that In wet weather clings to
che wagon wheels in great Jumps and
dry weather is as hard as a rock and
almost as injurious tO wagon ,.Ico.
Passing wagons in wet weather would
dig deep ruts. and when the road dried
up the ruts would remain. At best the
road was very poor. Many times when
wheat was selling at good price and
Mr.. King had many bushels of it the
road would be SO bad that he could
not haul it to the market, and when
the road finally became passable the
market would be low again.
After many experiments he con-
structed small, light drag, using two
old timbers connected with light strips,
and began to drag the road in front Of
his residence. After each rain he
would run the drag over it, and when
the sun came out and the road dried
up it was in perfect condition. When
neighbors told other neighbors that
King was crazy. Others told King
himself that he was crazy. Others
who did not say anything believed he
was crazy. But the experiments proved
that Kings method was successful
and he extended his operations until
he was dragging all the road in front
Of his farm. His neighbors took 1t up,
and in few months the road from his
farm to Maitland was as good as any
in Missouri.
George B. Ellis, secretary of the state
board of agriculture. heard Of Mr..
Kings good roads methods and invited
him to speak at the farmers in titute
in his neighborhood. He accepted, and,
being an enthusiast on the subject, he
made several converts. He was en-
gagged for a series of lectures and has
turned over his farm to others and is
devoting all of his time to preaching
the gospel of good roads. Good roads
meetings have been held in various
parts of Missouri and hundreds Of con-
verts have been made. After every
rain in Missouri hundreds of farmers
drag the roads in front of their farms,
and the number of these volunteer
road workers Is increasing every week.
