SHE STOLE CORN,
Woman Repents After Twenty Years
and Forwards Fifty Cents to
Owner of the Corn.

To steal a sack of corn twenty
years ago would not be noticed much
perhaps, but to steal one now would
probably land the culprit in the pene-
Tertiary. Recently a Colfax woman
sent so cents to a man of that city
to pay for sack she stole twenty
years ago. Evidently she must have
read about the corn shortage In the
state just now, and could not bear
the pangs of conscience any Ionge,.
so addressed the following letter u
Fred w. Carl, of Colfax, enclosing
80 cents to pay for the corn
Il don't know as you remember
me, but | did you an injustice once,
and wish to make it right as near
as can. l went into your corn field
and took some corn, about a fJur
sack full | think, and now l wish to
pay for it and beg your forgiveness
have ben wonderfully saved, and
don't want this to be in my way any
more. l send so cents to pay for It."
Mr.. Carl did not remember the wo-
man, but did remember that twenty
years or more ago he had consider
able corn stolen.
