ADMR BOYS CORN CONTEST.
Saturday. November IS. is the Day
for the Judges to Decide.

Those in charge of the contest have
decided on the following plans, and
therefore request every contestant to
promptly comply. 1t is as follows:
Two men have been selected in each
voting precinct, to measure the ground
and weigh the corn. and send measure
iiieiis - S.ulE.I o..I. ..~.e.-- S~.ii ~
Judge Moss, at the earliest day posi-
bic. If any contestant withdraws from
the quantity contest on the half acre,
it will not be necessary for him to have
either ground or corn measured. A
withdrawal from this does not prevent
him from entering the contest in the
exhibit on the 18th, and every boy who
got seed furnished by Judge Moss is
expected here with samples of corn on
that day. Each boy is to show ten ears
of corn. Should the committee fail to
collect the full amount of premiums,
then each winner in the contest will
bear his proportional loss. The corn to
be exhibited in the court house, and to
remain on exhibition in Judge Moss
Office, with name and address of pro-
ducers.
In selecting the men to determine the
amount of land and weight of corn, the
committee has selected good men, and
while the performance of this work will
require some time without money COM
pensation, yet it is trusted and believed
that every man will be faithful and
prompt to every call in his district.
The premium money has been SUBJ
scribed by the two banks and business
men in this town, with the exception of
few dollars from good farmers. Re-
member, if in the contest, gather your
corn and have land measured and corn
weighed by the men, or by one of them
in your precinct. Below we give

Intelligence Of Animals

| A writer in lie Petit Journal, Of
Paris, tells some interesting anec-
dotes of animal intelligence. In or
der to obtain original facts he ap-
pealed to readers of the Journal to
tell him their experiences with pets.
His conclusion is that only a very
small number of people have the
peculiar gift of making themselves
understood by the animal world.
The first instance he gives is that
of a sparrow kept as a pet by lady
in Grenoble. Swallows, he says, are
the most difficult birds to tame. He
tried time and again, taking good
care, of course, not to keep them in
cage, to rear some of these birds
of passage, but they invariably pinned
away and died. The fact that the
lady at Grenoble has been able to
keep and actually to tame one of
these birds is a proof that she must
have special gift She says in her
letter:
81 have been keeping at my house
for eight weeks a swallow which
had been hurt. 1t was caught in a
wire on the roof, and I asked q
plumber to climb up and deliver the
poor little thing. He went about il
too roughly, and in pulling the bird
away he broke its wing. l kept the
swallow in the house, giving it full
liberty, for a swallow will not live n
a cage. fed it on tiny bits Of calf'l
liver, which I gave it on a little ivory
stick. The bird did not want t
leave me any more It followed me
: everywhere about the house until
took it up and put it on my shoulder
also have a cat, which, during the
first few days, ran after the swal
low But I had forbidden her t
touch it. She ended by understand
ing, for she watched the swallow
moving about the house withou
stirring. However, I did not trus
her too much, and when l had to e
out shut pussy up in the kitchen
/, and the swallow in the dining room
One day, when had not shut one o
the doors well, I found it open OF
my return. I entered the dining
room, and what did l see but the ca
and the swallow lying snugly to
gether like great friends on a dress
ing gown that had fallen on tn,
floor"
The lady, adds the writer, seems IL
this case to have exercised a sort o
charm over her two nst~ Most o

A NLGHT LIEE CAFE

NEW YORK, May 3O.-Wh2n Henry
B. Harris and Jessie L. Lasky built
the I'olie Bergere, a blended restaur-
ant, theatsr and music hall, at Forty.
sixth street and Broadway, New York,
they proceeded upon the theory that
America had reached an advanced
stage of luxurious civilization compar-
able to that which flowers in Paris,
Berlin and Vienna, and which de-
mGnds the exotic, the bizarre and the
unusual, provided always that they
possess the cachet of class. They
builded rightly, for the FOlies Bergere
has already become an institution in
the night life of Broadway. With
characteristic American enterprise,
Messrs. Harris and Lasky went far
beyond the old world in luxury, fever
ish, brilliant sensationalism, and pun
gent entertainment that leases all the
senses into insistent life. Behind the
brilliant front of the Folies Bergere,
blazing with light and color, there
meet nightly from p. IN. to l a. m.
the most brilliant nocturnal gather
| ings ever seen in New York. The
audience represents the social regis
ter of the leading American cities
1t is the smart thing now to dine at
the Folies Bergere, then from the
same chair watch the two clever re
vues and the ballet, then to buy tick
cts for the Cabaret, or midnight show
and sup from 11:15 to 1 a. m. anc
watch daring European acts in which
lpretty women predominant. At mid
night the Folies Bergere presents {
scene of life and gaiety whose coun
terpart can be found no where else il
the world. Acton Davies of the Even
ing Sun says; Here, ladies and gen
tlemen, is a new resort which as {
novelty and an ingenious attraction
leads the world" Alan Dale declares
The Folies Bergere gives New YorI
City a new sensation" Charles Darn
ton maintains that the Folies Bergert
is both a novelty and a theatrical sen
sation." Lawrence Reamer of tn,

the other stories relate to the mar
velous intelligence of dogs. One or
these is contributed by market
woman of Paris. She has a dog
which has been trained to 20 to the
butcher shop for it's own meat every
day. She wraps a penny in a piece
of paper, and the dog at once knows
what it is for. He goes to the butch
er, gets his meat and returns to have
it cooked. One day, however, GU
rious thing happened. The piece OF
meat he got was perhaps too small,
or the dog had better appetite than
usual and wanted more. He forth
his mouth and walked to the butcher
a second time. The butcher was
furious at first when he found no
penny inside the paper. But it was
not the fault of the dog, which did
not know that the penny was more
essential than the paper However,
he got such scolding that he has
not repeated the trick since.
Among the many other dog stories
reported by the correspondents there
is a very touching one of two dogs
kept by the same master, near Ne
vers. One of these dogs happened
to be wounded in the woods by n
shot and was unable to move. He
was lost sight of for some days but
was discovered finally in an extra
ordinary manner. 1t was noticed
that the other dog stole some food
every day and ran off with it TO the
words. He was followed, and then
it was seen that the animal had been
in the habit of carrying the food to
its wounded companion, and thus
saved it from starving. This dog
surely deserves a medal
A peculiar instance of the attach.
ment of canaries to certain persons
has come under my own notice. An
American lady, who was very i'll and
almost bedridden for long time
was surprised one day to see a
canary fly into her room The bird
was slightly injured and seemed glad
to find a home. Before many days
had passed it became a perfect
friend to the invalid lady, would
perch on the bed or the armchair &c
keep her company, or eat out of hel
hand, and wipe its bill on her finger
After some time a mate was pur
chased for the bird, and now it has
thirty-two descendants, all of whom
are as tame as the original bird
