CORN GROWING FEAT OF
THREE MISSOURI BOYS

BY industriously tending a patch of
corn all last summer three Missouri
boys earned not only the handsome
sum of 81, t54.52, but also sufficient
distinction to have the fruit of their
features of Missouri's exhibit at the
worlds fair, and to cause the commits
SIGN to place their photographs in n
place of homer in the Missouri build
ing.
The boys are john, George and
Joseph Christian, aged 10. 10 and 10
years. respectively. They are the
sons of c. a. Christian, and their
home is in Tarkio, Atchison county.
The work was all done in the time in
tervening between May 1 and Nov. /,
and the boys are now in school and
laying plans for enjoying to the ut
most the worlds fair next year.
The Christian boys accepted an
offer from David Rankin, of Atchison
county. Mo-. who is the most extern
sive cattle feeder in the world. Mr..
Rankin has $4,000 acres of land in
Atchison county. and each year he
raises corn on from $4,000 to 10000
acres.
When the Christian boys applied
for a tract of land on which to raise
corn for Mr. Rankin. the wealthy land
owner, after talking with them, did
not hesitate. He promptly closed a
deal whereby he turned over tract
of good land, $40 acres in extent. He
agreed to pay them - cents for every
bushel of corn they would raise on
the land.
Then the boys showed what kind

of stuff they were made of. Hitching
SIX Missouri mules to a lister they
attacked the land. This machine
plOws, harrows and seeds all at one
operation. They worked like trojans
and soon the $40 acres were all plant
ed. Then the boys had a breathing
spell. When the corn began to grow
another task appeared for them, and
three times the growing corn had to
be cultivated.
Again was a requisition made on
the Missouri mule, and six were at
tached to each of three two-row cul-
tivators. The weeds were kept down,
the soil loosened and the corn grew
The cultivating was gone through
with three times. Meanwhile the
corn had grown and ripened and
when November rolled around the
crop was made and the harvest was
begun.
Up to this time the work of making
the crop had been done altogether by
the three boys, with an occasional
bit of assistance from their father
Extra help was employed in the har-
vest, however, and when the corn was
gathered and measured into Mr.. Ran
kin's great corn bins, it was found
that the boys had grown 1852 bush
els of corn. At 10 cents per bushel
this Melted the handsome sum of $4,-
154.52, and Mr.. Rankin gave them a
| check for that amount.
The corn was of splendid quality.
When the account of the feat reach
ed the Missouri worlds fair commits
sioners they determined to honor the
boys by worlds fair exhibit. Some
of the corn was obtained, and it will
occupy a place of honor in the Mis-
souri, agricultural exhibit

MILLIONS MATCHED
Immense Propagation of Fish by
Government in
Iowa
SHOWN IN LAST YEARS REPORT
All for Mississippi River and Tribu-
taries- Difficulties En-
conntered.

More than 100000 young fish have
been placed i'm the Mississippi river
along the Iowa border the past two
wears by the United States govern
ment or these 100000 were crop
pies and the other 100000 ,nntiSh,
while there were 100000 buffalo, and
the rest were pike, catfish. bass, pick
ereI. perch and carp. This is a part
of the work that is being done to
make fishing good along the big river.
The United States maintains a splen-
did fish hatchery at Manchester, and
the superintendent, II. s. Johnson,
has placed the fish in the Mississippi
rver and its tributaries on request
from George \. Lincoln. state fish
and game warden.
Another fish hatchery is now being
built at McGregor that will be larger
and more commodious than the hatch
cry at Manchester, and the chief work
done there will be for the present the
taking of small fish from the bayous
Of the Mississippi to be sent to the
interior of the state. This is the work
that is being done by the state from
its station at Sabula. From Sabula
there was sent to the rivers and lakes
of the interior during the fall of 1901,
II carloads of fish. and i'm 1903, nine
carloads, about $4,000 in each car.
More would have been Seined in 1902
had there been any fund for that pur-
pose. but failure to secure an apprO-
priation from inattention on the part
Of the warden made il necessary for
the work to stop.
Too Much Water.
Warden Lincoln, i'm his biennial re-
port. makes it plain that the trouble
with the fishing industry in Iowa the
past two seasons has been too much
water. As the result of the overflow
ing Of rivers large quantities of fish
found their way into the ponds and
bayous and in some cases into the
cornfields of Iowa, and it has been Il
large undertaking TO place these fish
back into the running waters to pre-
vent them from perishing. But in
the Mississippi river and tributaries
and the bayous along the river fishing
was never better than last summer.
The warden has, under Il new law, is
sued a large number CT SEEMING per-
mits so that persons may take food
fish from the streams under the OBJ
servatiOn of deputies. Complaint has
been made because this seining sdis-
turbs the spawning of the game fish,
but the warden states that seining
can be done at season not to cause
any trouble of this kind.

The Man Who

The man who thinks that the world
Is soup and that he's the only fork in
the service had better get a spoon.
Soup and the world are hard to con-
quer with a fork.
The man who breaks two soft-boiled
eggs into cup and thinks that be-
cause the first two We're good the
third must be also, has another guess.
OVer-confidence ruins the best of us.
The man who apologies to the tele-s
phone girl for disturbing her slumbers
when he rings for a number, gets the
reply that he is 'No Gentleman" II is
too bad that politeness is not classed
as virtue. The line was busy any
way.
The man who "aspires" to be a poet
just because his nearest and dearest''
told him that his lode to a st son

weaned. There are several kinds of
"Marvels."
The man who will buy anything but
a Douglas-Ah, there is no one SO un-
informed as that!

pontiff, who before his election was
called Tudwal.
Naturally a little village grew up
around the seat of the bishop. But
the secular town having no other rea-
son for existence than the church, did
not grow greatly The port remained
| insignificant. 1t did not become the
abode of any great number of working
people. An admirable cathedral was
built towards the end of the thirteenth
century. Monastic buildings greatly
| increased toward the end of the sew
| enteenth century. Entire streets We're
formed by the long and high walls of
these clustered dwellings. The Bish-
| ops residence, a beautiful structure of
the seventeenth century, and some viii
! las, were the sole abodes of others than
those in religious life. Below the viii
lage, at the entrance to the principal
street, fanked by some lowered struc-
lures, were grouped a number of pub
lie houses, designed for seamen and
fishermen.
Shortly before the Revolution, some
members of the lower orders of the
nobility established themselves by the
side of the bishop. They came from
the neighboring country districts. Brit
tany has had two entirely distinct no.
bilities. one of them owed their titles
to the king of France, and displayed in
high degree the defects and the or
binary qualities of the French nobility.
The other was of Celtic origin and
truly Breton. This latter comprised. at
the epoch of the invasion, the chiefs of
the parishes, the leaders of the people,
OF the same race as themselves, pos
sessing by inheritance the right of
marching at their head and of repre-
senting them. There is nothing more
respectable than this nobility of the
soil while it remains in the country,
strangers to intrigue, and to the sus-
plcion of seeking to enrich themselves
But when they come to the towns they
lose almost all of their admirable quail
tiles, and contribute only in a small
degree to the moral and intellectual
education of the country.
Inc revolution, for this nest of
priests, was apparently a death war;
rant. The last Bishop of Treguier dis
appeared one evening through a rear
door into the woods which adjoined the
episcopal residence, and took refuge in
england. The Concordat suppressed
the bishopric. The poor town, deca-
pltated, did not even have an under
project. People preferred to it, Lannion
and Guingamp, towns more secular,
more bourgeoise. There remained of
the place only some large structures
built for special purpose. The very
uselessness of these buildings from
the standpoint of Lannion and GUM
CAMP, was the rejuvenation of Ire
guier. These immense monastic edi-
fees became repeopled. The ancient
cloisters served for the establishment
OF an ecclesiastical college, highly es-
teemed through the province. Ire
guier in a few years became again
what Saint Tudwal had made it thir-
teen hundred years before, an entirely
ecclesiastical town, n stranger to COM
merce and to the industries, a vast
monastery where none of the noise
from the outside world penetrated, and
where that was called vanity which
men pursued, and that which the world
called chimeras passed for the only
reality.

Cholera and bubonIc plague seem to
have Manila in their grip again. 1t
seems impossible to keep city like
Manila clean. What is known as the
native town is unsanitary and dirty.
The inhabitants are lazy and dirty, and
the combination is too much for the
local authorities. The only thing that
will keep Manila clean will be military
control. Meanwhile many useful lives
are closed, untimelN, by the dread dis
eases.

There will be a fine rush for regis
tration if the courts decide that regis
tration can be undertaken before the
county election. The weight Of opin-
ion leans to the maintenance of the old
registration. If such be the decision
it will be a sharp lesson to those who
failed to register when they had the
chance.
