Tho game had not proceeded far when each club made the discovery that they had opponents worthy of their metal, and from that time it was a close contest.

In the southern tier of counties the farmers are already at work cutting their grain, and within a few weeks the entire crop will be gathered. Its safety is now assured beyond everything except an excess of wet weather. Encouraged by a successful season last year the farmers of Kansas, at seeding time, put in an unusually large acreage of wheat, and the venture has been rewarded by 6uch a yield as will go very far toward repairing the embarrasfirnint which tho state has suffered by reason of tho failure of the corn crop for the past three years. The men who believe in Kansas always, and Mho Btick to the 6tate through evil and good report are smiling this season with all their old-time unction. Kansas City Star.

Beard, Register. We once knew a man in Kansas, whether rich or poor we will not say, or whether in the liesh or in the spirit now we say not; guess ye. He told us about going in debt, and being in debt This man was a good man as men go, but unfortunately was an interest payer, and had been all his life. His boys did the farming. He got up early, put in his corn in season, cut his wheat promptly; but his fences were not good, his horses were not fat, and sometimes his cattle towards spring were on tho "lift" And why? Listen: Years ago the grasshoppers came and dwelt with him; they were worse than Philistines.

And the chinch bugs swarmed around about him, and they were worse than the Amalekites. Then this good fellow, somewhat of a politician a little of a Mason, and not much of a farmer, went to town and purchased a modern improvement for his farm a mortgage and that fetched him. The little coupon lying quietly and innocent-like in the rich man's drawer was a nimble factor, and every six months cried aloud and spared not. Then our friend would get on a horse, go to town, sell a fat cow, and come home smiling. Then the hog cholera hit him, and Lit him foul, below the girt.

More money was needed, and having no more land to mortgago, and having plenty of warm friends, he got first one on his note, and then another. Interest accumulated. In winter and summer, in heat and cold, wet and dry, this same interest kept working away with no sweat on his brow, but getting there all the same. Still our friend kept up a good courage, always looking forward to next year's crop, always expecting big prices for wheat, which never came only when his crop failed. Then our friend would sell a fat hog or two and go off to a convention to help some friend to get a place, or to fix up a political fenca, and would leave his farm fences in bad shape, the consequence of which was that the cattle and hogs got into his neignbor's corn, which caused bad feelings, and which frequently cost money for damages, Sometipies he got awful blue, and spent good deal of time in town.

The boys were good-looking, and dressed well, and plowed corn and dug potatoes in cuff-buttousand horse-shoe breastpins. And tho only thing that kept our friend going for twenty years was that he never "drank his troubles dpwp," was. economi Which I will sell at Prices that S. W. CASE, J.
