Some weeks ago we mentioned the
fact that at the Illinois State Fair there
we're six entries of corn for the award
for CREATE. acre yield. The yields. as
reported, were as follows::
w. F. Schnapp, $50 bushels 60
pounds.
Samuel D. Maddox, "A bushels 65
pounds.
Albert Brown, 81 bushels 10 pounds
John H. Powers. 176 bushels 40
pounds.
F. d. Nunes, 145 bushels % pounds.
c. w. McMurray, 126 bushels 10
pounds.
This shows what 1t is possible to do
on land properly MANFRED and properly
cared for. The previous year there
we're many other entries, but none that
came up to the high-water mark OF
this year. 1t is pity that more en-
tries were not made. 1t would seem
that hundreds of farmers might COM
pete in this class. 1t would be good
thing for the agriculture of Illinois IL
more money were devoted to this part
of the fair.

STRANGE SEARCH BY POLICE.
sieuthinK Paris Not for . Criminal but
Honest Man.


Honest Man.
At the present moment the police of
Paris are engaged on rather an I'M
usual task. They are In search of an
honest man. not like the Greek philos-
opher of old. in skeptical spirit. but
for the very reason that he has fur
nished striking evidence of his integ-
rity. AS matter of fact, when this
interesting individual shall be found
he is to be provided with post in the
service of the prefecture. 1t is a
touching story. which reflects the ut
most credit on all concerned Re-
Gently Nine. Blanc, the wife of the pre-
feet of police. discovered on her re-
turn from visit to Passy that she had
lost her purse, containing nearly 200
francs, and ascertained to her salts
faction on the following morning that
1t had been brought by stranger to
the Office of the local commissary. The
lady made kind inquiries about this
person and an investigation showed
that he had been living in a small
hotel In the neighborhood, but that
few hours before he came across the
money he had been Obliged to leave the
house. as all his funds had been ex-
hausted The poor fellow had been re-
duced to the utmost restitution. but
he had manfully resisted the tempta-
ton. II. indeed. 1t occurred to him at
all to appropriate the purse and its
contents, which he had conveyed abb
solutely intact to the Office. When she
learnt that this honest man was wan
dering about homeless and without the
wherewithal to buy even a morsel of
bread Nine. Blanc was deeply moved,
and she not only lost no time in ask
ing her husband to institute an active
search for him, but begged the project
to keep one of the places at his dis
posal for Louis Dubourg, and she
added: "As soon as he is found let
him have the 1S4 francs. The money
would burn my fingers II l took 1t
back under such conditions" SO 1t
has come about that instead of being
eagerly on the lookout for someone
who has come into collision with the
law its agents are searching high and
low for the perpetrator of meritor-
ious act. So far their efforts have not
been crowned with success, but 1t 10
to be hoped that kind-hearted Nine
Blanc will not be kept long In sus,
pense.
