DUST BINS OF PARIS.
Six bank-notes of a thousand francs apiece and tiddy pieces of gold! Fere Thill, an old rag-picker of Paris, returned home tired after his usual early morning search for odds and ends. Ho emptied his .sack on the floor to .sort cut the things he had picked up when, lo and behold, a number of gold pieces rolled out' of an old newspaper wrapping. Nor was this all, for concealed in the folds of the paper he discovered six 1000-franc notes. It was a fortune! _ How comfortable he could be with all that money! Yet perhaps it belonged to somebody who could ill-afford to bear the loss. The rag-picker’s conscience said “You are; right. Pere Thill,” so he wrapped the treasure neatly in the old paper and took it to the police station. But if the money is not claimed within a year it will become his property. Let's hope i.t won’t, eh?
