II corn 4. king, wheat is queen ia Kan
sas. In many sections 1t has been the
principal crop. Down in the Arkansa'
Valley seventeen counties last year produ-
ced a million and a half bushels Of winter
wheat each. In 1884 the average yield
per acre for the slate was 233 bushels
The total yield was 25,00o.0oo bushels
Now listen: A box car 35 feet lsng will
contain 400 bushels. II this wheat had all
bee n marketed at once, 1t would have taken
81 500 cars to hold il. These would have
made ira in $50 miles long. Such train
would extend across part Of Kansas and all
Missouri and part Of Illinois. When the
first car reached Chicago the last car
would still he iwenty-.evcn miles west ol

producing for the benefit OF tho rising gen
Grafton. They are:
l. Never put off till to morrow what
you can do to day.
2. Never trouble others for what you
can do yourself.
3, Never spend your money before you

4. Never buy what you do not want
because il is cheap.
5. Pride costs us more than hunger,
thirst or cold.
6. We never repent of having eaten too
little.
Z. Nothing is troublesome that we do
willingly.

cost us which never happened

handles.

There seems 10 be wide range Of opln-
ion regarding the majority Of the popular
vote in the late National election. Fig.
ures must "lie" in some of these assertions.
The New York Times figures the plurality
OF Cleveland &C, ,242; the New York Eren-
ing Post makes it 69,s06; the 81. Louis
G'obe-D Democrat makes it 6s,Ss2; the Phil
adelphia Inquirer makes it 6s,1l7; the
Pittsburg Dispatch makes it 66.l36; the
Philadelphia Press makes it 65,973; the
Philadelphia Times makes it G4,659; the
Chicago Inter. Ocean makes it $4,000; the
Baltimore American makes it 12,502. The
Cincinnati Commercial Gaaeae figures out a
plurality Of 5,742 for Blaine. Tho diff
Gully lies in determining the vote IN the
States where fusion existed. The Cleve.
land Leader and Cincinnati Commercial
Gazette, il appears, deduct the Butler votes
from Cleveland: in sNichiSan and Iowa,
but credit Blame with the entire Repub.
lican- Butler fusion in Missouri and West
