Authorizations was that he was selling
diamonds. She seemed greatly distressed
and begged that / should do all that 1
could for you. She said that no one would
take you to be demented at first glance"
The woman had made off with the pack
age on the table and but Cor the clerk 3
precautions would have got the whole
$500 worth of jewelry.
One evening when the detective who
stood near the door of a store had gone
% or "A years old, entered a jewelIX store
and asked for diamond rings. He seemed
to admire them greatly, and as he picked
up one by one he slipped them on his
finger. He had seven valuable rings on
when, like a flash, he bolted for the
toner who was just coming in and jos
tied against several people, who were
all too much astonished to stop him. Two
of the clerks ran after him. 1t was hol-
iday time, the streets were crowded, and
he did not get very far before he was
captured. There was not a single ring
on his finger, but after searching in his
pockets the policeman thought to turn
his umbrella upside down and out rolled
the rings
marked as they fell on the pavement.
A plea of insanity was urged for this
wholesale rObber and so many warm
friends came to plead for him that the
firm did not prosecute him. Another
night a young man selected a handsome
ring in the same store. Just as he had
picked it out the door was thrown sud-
denly upon and someone screamed as if
the building was on fire. The ruSe was
successful. In the moment that the clerk
who was waiting on the young man look
ed away toward the door the customer
crowd that had collected favoring his
escape with his valuable prize.

THE PICTURE DOCTORS.
How Valuable Paintings Are Re-
paired-EXperts in the Trade.
From the New York Tribune.

From the New York Tribune.
A little known but useful branch of art
is the trade of the picture repairer, who
renovates old paintings, mends mutilated
pictures, and, if necessary, transfers the
painting to canvas. Though there are
many men making a speciality of this
work in New York, there are only one or
two experts to whom old masters are in
StruSted. There are two distinct branches
of this peculiar business; one consists in
repairing mutliated pictures and reno
waiting those in which the paint has crack
ed while the other is the transferring OF
a painting from the old canvas TO a new
one. When a picture is nearly obliterated
by the dust and dirt which gather on the
NarnlSn, as often happens in paintings of
any age which have not been carefully
looked after, the simple process of remoV-
ing the old Varnish and putting on new
makes marvellous change in its appear
ance. If the paint is cracked a more
elaborate operation is necessary. The lit
tie cracks are sometimes filed up with
composition after the old varnish has been
removed and then the picture is revar-
nished. This is often. a delicate opera
ton on account of the difficulty in exacr-
ly matching the different colors When
the picture is very badly cracked this
method is not available, for the aggre-
gate width of a large number of cracks
will sometimes amount to half an inch or
more in a large painting. The operafion
of shrinking is them performed Whar
the exact process is the expert who talk
ed with Tribune reporter did not care to
say, but it consists in removing the old
canvas and then, by means of material
laid wet on the painting and allowed TO
dry, the cracks are brought together. This
last process is a very difficult one and
closely resembles the transferring of
paintings performed when the original
canvas has partially rotted away an on
Grafton which is undoubtedly the mos+
delicate piece of work which a picture
restorer Is called upon to do. Years of
experience are necessary to give the remit
site nicely of touch and dexterity.
After the picture has been taken ont IF
tissue paper pasted over its face Wbe,
1t is dry the pictures is turned over ana

The old canvas is then removed thread nv,

ports from Topeka, Lincoln, Salina,
Hutchinson, Abilene, Junction City,
Douglass. Cheney and number of
points in Nebraska, state that the soft
wheat is badly damaged. A good many
grain men are inclined to believe that
the prospect is rather discouragisg.
A division superintendent of the
Missouri Pacific in Southern Kan
sas is said to have reported that
the crop is almost an utter failure be-
tween Carney and Conway Springs.
A buyer at Douglass, Kan, writes:
'The country around Douglass cannot
possibly raise enough wheat for the
local mill and / have heard as
high as 90 per cent estimated killed
south of us. The ground is very
dry. The snow and rain we had a
week ago is helping what wheat is not
dead, but the general propect is the
worst have seen in seventeen years. !"

same people: 81 drove sixty miles
yesterday, examining wheat fields.
1 found them much worse
than L expected. Not over half the
growing wheat will be left Most of
the fields plowed up will be put in
corn. That which will be left has not
