How She Got a Valuable Ring at the
Price Set by Herself. i

"See that old lady at the other end
Of the store? Well, she is one Of the
most confirmed kleptomaniacs in New
York. 1T is hardly possible that you
would believe me if 1 were to tell you
her name. She belongs to one Of the
best families in Brooklyn and Is we'll
known in this city. Every one con-
nected with this store is cognizant Of
her failing and acts accordingly. Not
w~ithstanding our precautions, how
ever, a few months ago she managed to
deceive us in a very ingenious way. She
had been here several times and ap-
peared to take a great fancy to a valu-
able diamond and ruby ring. One day
she asked my employer what its price
was and he told her that it was the best
he had in the store and was worth $500.
She laughed and offered him $3.50 for it,
and on this being refused said: We'll,
will you let me have it at that price il
l can steal itp' Certainly, he replied,
and nothing more was thought about
the matter.
"Several times after that she came
here and had the proprietor take out
the tray and exhibit the ring, OF each
occasion renewing her previous offer.
about two months ago the old lady
showed a ring to my employer and
asked what he thought it wa worth.
After examining the article critically
he said that 1t was worth about $3.50.
i have SEVERAL he continued, much
better than that which l will sell for
that price.
Sat this the old lady gave a cunning
little laugh, and proceeded to count
out $3.50 from her pocketbook. Some
thing in the kleptomaniac's manner
aroused his suspicious and fastening
to the case he discovered that the $500
ring was missing. During one of her
visits the old lady had managed to alb
stract it from the tray and insert in ito
place one of very small value. To say
that my employer was angry when he
discovered how he had been duped but
feebly expresses his emotions. He was
furious, and when he was reminded Of
his promise to sell the ornament fol
$3.50 if thelady managed to steal 1t, be
kept his word. but begged that the
story should not be told to any Of his
friends"

There is a wide field for thought
opened by comparing the prices Of
leading articles as sold in New York,
20 years ago, with present quotations.

will be. noted that refined sugar was

Soap Is about half the price now that
it was 20 years ago. In spices the
reduction is great, for then a heavy
duty was imposed. while now they are
duty free. Reader, look at the price

era of cheap food; Of better food now
than formerly. 1t comes TO the con-
sumner in better style and condition.
Luxuries that only the rich could afford
In 1869 are now so plenty and cheap
that the masses can use them daily.
Steam, and electricity, IS applied to
machinery and transportation, have
reduced the cost of production. Twenty
years ago you will note the difference
Of fully tour cents per pound between
the cost of raw sugar and refined,
while to-day it is about one cent, and
before the trust was formed two-thirds
of a cent per pound. and this is due
to the use Of the centrifugal machine,
which enables the refiner to accomplish
in one days work which 20 years ago
required two weeks, Note the differ
ence in the cost of canned goods and
their character: A few staple articles
were accessible in 1869 at high cost.
viz, $40 per dozen for No. s
tomatoes, which to-day sell at IS and
90 cents; corn, in two-pound cans,
$3.50 and So rs, which has gone beg
cling this season at so and 90 cents per
