SHREWD DIAMOND ROBBERS.
A Watchfal Jeweler Swindled While
He Was Watching.


Joshua Chaplin, a jeweler of London,
while visiting a diamond dealer in
Maiden Lane, related this experience
with clever thieves:
Long after | thought I knew all the
tricks Of diamond thieves l had an ex-
perience that taught me a lesson at
the cost Of 5000.
"A gentlemanly appearing, plainly
attired man came into my shop one
morning and asked to see some solitaire
diamond rings. I waited on him, and
did 80 with great caution, yet tried to
avoid giving offense. 1 placed before
him a tray containing forty rings, and
did not for q moment take my eyes
from his fingers while he was examin-
ing them. AS is customary, the tray
was filed, SO that q vacantplace would
be readily noticed.
my customer evidently knew the
merits of the stones and was able to
select the most valuable ones at sight.
He appeared to enjoy examining them,
and did so in a deliberate that
aroused my suspicion. Finally he APP
peared to be undecided, as tn one
of the three rings and ended by saying
he would call the next day with his
wife and take n of them. This ac-
ton made me the more suspicious, and
l was careful to see that all the rings
were in their places before he left the
shop.
when he did leave l sent a clerk
after him and we learned that he and
his wife were at one of the leading no,
tells, registered from New York.
He returned with o m the next
afternoon and the tray of rings was
put before them. They were both
very deliberate, and examined every
ring in the tray; but I took care not to
have more than two spaces vacant al
a time. Finally, a ring valued at $500
was selected and | was told to mark il
and send it with the bill to their hotel.
was about to suggest that | did not have
to mark the ring until twas paid for,
when the man handed me $50, which
was more than enough to indemnify
me in case the ring was not taken.
VI examined my tray very carefully
and found that it was full, with the
exception of the space that had beer
occupied by the ring just sold. | fell
relieved, and congratulated myself Oh
having made a good sale. My customer
gave instructions as to the marking
and left the shop.

to be marked and proceeded to make ,

Soon the engraver came excitedly *

DRESSING CHEAPLY BUT WELL.
A Generous Dressmaker Tells How It
Can Be Done,

IA dressmaker or a tailor" said a
very exceptional one of the trade in
secret to a New York World reporter,
us an absolute necessity for about two
gowns a season. Those are one street
dress to be made absolutely correct and
one reception dress to be made equally
perfect. The economically minded
woman should haunt the stores, the
sales, the remnant counters until she
finds just the cloth and just the Innings
that she needs for her street gown.
Then she should commit them to her
dressmaker's care or her tailor's and
cheerfully pay the bill, conscious that
she has done her best. So also with
her reception gown. She should give
that into the hands Of q competent
cressmaker and not grumble about the
bills. But q woman of taste or origi-
nality, unless she is rich, should always
have her gowns-her house dresses, her
odd bodices, her dancing frocks-made
at home by one of those clever little
seamstresses, who work for SO a day
and can accomplish wonders in a week.
They may lack the skill of the dress
maker with an establishment, but what
they lack in skill they make up in
adaptability, in patience and in being
on the spot for criticism and direction.
las for buying expensive materials
for anything but the stateliest gowns"
continued madam, after pausing for
breath. 81 don't believe in it. Good
materials, yes. But not the most dura-
BILE and expensive. An evening frock
or o tea jacket is not going to be SUBJ
jected to hard wear, and, therefore,
does not need to be of the everlasting
sort OF goods. Some tolerably cheap,
pretty thing, which will look we'll for
a season and then may be tossed aside,
is greatly to be preferred above q costly,
durable thing that will outlasti its style.
Except for hard wear-for the prone.
made, shopping, church and the like
very durable materials are a mistake.
If women would remember all these
things they could dress on about half
what they spend now-and they would
look better as well.n

HOW NOGARD KILLED THE BEAR.
Biggest One Ever Killed In a Region
Noted For Large Bears.

jacksonville, Pa, Letter in New York
Sun: Having recovered from his
scare, John Nogard, a lumberman liv-
ing near this place, is the proudest
MAJ in the hemlock belt, for he is the
slayer of the biggest and finest coated
bear that was ever killed in Western
Pennsylvania, the home of big bears.
He was out after rabbits, and heard
his dog barking in a furious way. APP
preaching the spot cautiously, with his
shotgun cooked ready for action, he
saw his dog acting in a most excited
manner, but it was sometime before he
could see what was exciting the dog.
Finally he discovered what it was, and
wasn't glad a bit. Lying in the hol
low of a stump, not more than five
yards away, Nogard saw a bear. AL
though it was all curled up, it looked
as big as a heifer, Nogard said. If the
bear hadn't seen him, too, John said,
he would have turned and left that To-
cality on the double quick, but bruin
was glazing at him 80 fiercely that he
was afraid to run. Being also afraid to
stay, Johns feelings were somewhat
awful. But the bear soon relieved the
suspense by bouncing out of the stump
with a tremendous growl and rushing
forward. There is no doubt but what
the bear had the dog in his eye when
it jumped out and was DESTROYS of get.
ting him in his clutches, but bears
hate dogs. Anyhow, the dog made
straight for his master and stationed
himself between his legs. The bear
came right N. Nogard had nothing
but fine shot in his gun, but if he had
had a Calling gun he would have been
just as badly scared. Without know
ing exactly what he did, he pulled up
and let go both barrels at the bear
when it was almost near enough to
grab the gun. Both charges went into
Bruins mouth and lodged in the
throat, cutting the latter as effectively
as if it had been done with a knife.
After he fred Nogard didn't wait any
longer, but took to his heels. He ran
home. His dog didn't follow him; after
taking a long rest, he went cautiously
back to where he shot the bear. Bruir
lay there dead al a stone, with the dog
shifting at him. Nogard had to get @
horse and drag to get the bear home
it was 80 big. 1t weighed twenty five
pounds more than the biggest bear O.
which there is any record of having
been killed in this part of the State, it,
weight being 445 pounds.

SAVE THE BOY.

Once he sat upon my knee,
Looked from sweet eyes into mine,
Questioned me 30 wonderous,y
OF the mysteries divine.
Once he fondly clasped my neck,
Pressed my cheek with kisses sweet.
Oh, my heart, we little wreck
Where may row the precious feet.
Once his laugh with merry ring
Filled our house with music rare,
And his loving hands would bring
Wreathes of blossoms for my hair.
Oh, the merry, happy sprite,
Constant, ceaseless source of joy;
But tonight-O God, tonight
Where where is my.wonderous boy,
Midst the glitter and the glare
OF the room where death is dealt;
Scarce you'd know him, but he's there
He who once 80 reverent knelt
At my knee, and softly spoke
Words into the ear of God;
Oh, my heart, tits smitten broke;
Crushed, I bend beneath the rod.
Oh, this curse that spoiled my boy,
Led him down and down to death,
Robbed me of my rarest joy,
Made a pang Of every breath;
Mother, father, hear my plea;
Let your pleading pierce the sky;
Pray and work most earnestly;
Let us save our boys or dire.
