TRICK OF SMART sWINDLER.
AppIe-Eating Stranger Who Does
 Sleight-of-H With Diamonds.

From the Chicago Inter- Ocean.
 Men who are more than six feet tall and who eat apples are regarded with dis trust in every jewelry store in State street. The reason for this is theft that occurred last week in one of the most prominent stores. The work was neatly done. and the combination of a tall man, eating an apple, makes every clerk and floor detective suspicious.
 A distinguished looking stranger with white hair and white beard strolled into a State street store last Saturday and asked to see some diamond rings. The clerk reached for them. leaving one tray filled with expensive rings on the top of the show case
 Here they are" he said, placing the second tray beside the first. As he did so the tall man who had been maunching at fine russet apple, threw the core in- to the street.
 He and the clerk went over the rings in the trays, but could find none that he wanted to buySkAs he turned to go the clerk discovered that ring worth s25O was missing. The clerk disliked to accuse the distinguished looking stranger of hav- ing stolen the ring. There was prospect of a suit for damages against his employ CT and his own discharge if the accusa- tion should be found groundless. Still. if he let the man get away with the ring it would mean that he would have to pay for 1t. Torn between these positions, the clerk finally hinted that the customer must have seen the ring.
 "Of course I saw 1t. I had it in my hand only a moment ago. An, I catch your meaning. You want to infer that -. Be careful, sir; you do not know who I am. I won't put up with any such non sense"
 The stranger despite his protests. was searched, but the ring was not found

pianos in his establishment, employ ex- pert players and vocalist to teach the songs, print professional cards and do a thousand other things. You see the com petition is keen, and If you should hurt the feelings of any singer. especially a man or woman of reputation, you will have considerable trouble in making your songs popular.
 Publishers have to take lot of chances too. For instance. to popularize a song you must have slides made for stereopticon views. This costs quite a sum. One publisher spent s40O to take pictures for set of slides for the song Sing Again That Sweet Refrain He had to employ troupe of colored minstrels. a band and a hall. Fortunately the song made money, and he did not lose anything. There are other things to contend with, too, such as lawsuits etc. There was dispute over the ownership of one song for instance. After fighting in the courts for some time one of the firms concerned compromised by paying the other 5000 in cash and the costs of the suit"

hits In popular songs nowadays, that Is. songs that have reached the million mark in sales, such as After the Ball, Annie Rooney Daisy Bell Down Went Mo- Ginty, Two Little Girls in Blue and Comrades Many songs published since then have been very popular, to be sure. but they cannot be compared with the old timers.
 Many dealers have asked me the cause of this but thus far have been unable to explain 1t satisfactorily. It Is all the stranger when you take into consideration the faot that there are more singers and better facilities for publishing songs than in former years.
 Years ago a good song would force it. self upon the public. At present the pub fisher has to humor the singers and do a lot of hustling. Some of the top-liners re- quire pay to sing songs. In the old days they were only to glad to get good bal lad. To cater to the whims of the singers a publisher must have at least three

Rich Man and Sreat WeaNth
Does Accumulation of Money Cause Happiness'
BY JULIUS CHAMBERS.

Whether great wealth confers great hap piness or not is very debatable question. To him who struggles to secure a suffi- cient income to meet the demands of large family, day dream of great wealth undoubtedly possesses delirous facina- tions. In such a sub-conscious condition pressures and debts slide off as well trained water does off the back of a properly feathered duck, and the vista of every human wish gratified with a suffi- ciency of bank notes in reserve to start a good-sized illumination create an ina pression that great wealth fills to over flowing the measure of human desire. But when no day dreams come to cloud with roseate hues ones mental apparatus, questions arise which are, to say the least pcrplex.ng.
 For short time a few years ago Bar ney Bernato had the honor of being called the richest man in the world, and he was popularly reported to possess a billion of dollars. If he were so happy because so rich. it might be reasonable to inquire what motive he could have had to aban- don his wealth for a pilgrimage into the undiscovered country. His end was sud- den. L Hung Chang is another of the richest men in the world. Now in spite of his wealth and his blue feather, he has had all he could do to keep his pigtail on his head. Our own John Rockefeller, in spite of his income, of one hundred mill lions year, would give up the better part of his wealth if he could eat porter house stake. Imagine a man who could live on canvass back ducks and terrapin, if he choose, being compelled daily to eat dOIlhlpd collie.
 Then. again, there is Pierspone Nor gan. It is safe to say that thouoslTiiis be- lieve he lives on canary birds stuffed with truffles, and washes 1t down with the finest brand of champaigne. But he does not. His regular Sunday dinner Is corn beef and cabbage It is no better beef, no better corned, and no better cooked than those fragrant morsels that make hall way in an Eastside tenement an appetite killer.
 To bo sure, great wealth enables a man to have many houses in many places, but he cannot sleep in more houses than one at a time, and there is no guarantee that he will sleep then. Having satisfied every want. he has no desire for that which he has the means to gratify. He becomes a man in search of desire.
 Taking men as they are, It is pretty safe to say that no man bothers himself 3apoul dnother Inah except he Wents SoHie- --ing of him. Such is life. A compara-
 lily poor man knows when his front door bell rings 1t is a creditor, rich man knows it is a would-be debtor. One is about as unpleasant as the other. When tt Is resolved down to a question of per- sonal comfort, there is no difference. One grows as weary of being haunted for fa- vors as dollars.
 When all desires that can be supplied by purchase are appeased, then new set of non-purchasable desires arise. A man who needs money has desire for it. and man who has it has desire for some

else. Corresponding annoyanoes fret

thing else. Corresponding annoyances fret both.
 The desire for power is the passion of the enormously rich. Some seek 1t one direction, some in others. The late Au- gust Belmont desired the post of Sec retary of the Treasury, and he fretted for years because President Cleveland gave it to Manning, of Albany. William c. Whitney desired the nomination for pres ident, but feared his interests in Stand ard OH would defeat him. Some chamber for political elevation, others for social preferment. Some desire to wield the sceptre of kings in the empire of com merce, as Carnegie in steel and Morgan in railroads. Troubles and anxieties att tend the monarch on his throne, and sleepless nights are more the lot of the multi-millionaire than the day laborer.
 There is a good deal of nonsense about the greatness and happiness of rich men; indeed. there is more poetry than fiction in the remark of a certain great million aire, king of railroads. when he said: 'If I were to begin life over again I would not strive to be rich; would not get myself entangled in the mesh of riches" Great wealth does not confer great happiness. but great worries!

The jeweler was apprehensive of a big suit for damages until the detectives found that the tall man is an old-time hotel thief who wins out often on the strength of his impressive appearance. The way he got away with the ring was to slip it into the ha1f-eaten apple he held in his hand and then to throw the apple into the street where a confederate picked 1t up and got away, and the tall man could stand a search with safety.
