Of course this will reduce the yield per
acre somewhat, but this loss is fully
made up, the writer has been assured by
experienced wheat raiserS who have
good crops this year, by the increased
development of the berry. This condi-
ton is so marked that there seems little
doubt that this seasons wheat crop will
rate higher in quality than any ever pro-
duced in the state. With this very great
advantage, added to the increased acre
age over the crop of 1889, the wheat crop
of this season ought to be the most
valuable one the state has ever produced.
In view of all these conditions the
EAGLE would urge upon its farmer
friends that they leave nothing undone
that is necessary to secure the crop
against loss or damage from any source.
Offers of so cents for the new crop have
already been made, which is pretty good
evidence that the cereal will bring better
prices than have prevailed for many
months. If the present wheat crop is
properly handled it can hardly fail to be
the most profitable of any ever produced
in this state.
The prospect for corn at this time
could hardly be better; it is not as tall as
it has been at this period in some other
years, but the stand is good, it has
deep strong root and rich, healthy
color, and with the warm weather that
is just dow cleverly setting in it will not
fail to grow and develop and mature
with the utmost rapidity.
Taking the seasons operations and
prospects as they are at the present time
in this section, and the outlook could
not be more encouraging.

Most of the papers of the northern and
northeastern part of the state whose ed
itors were members Of the Texas excur-
sion party, contained full and well writ

Two years ago there was prevalent
sUppositiOn that Kansas farmers were
opposed to the tariff and that it would
require hard work to hold them in line
After thorough discussion of the ques-
ton, it was found by the vote that Kansas
farmers were the strongest prOtectionists
in the country Those who are expecting
a Kansas stampede to free trade this year
would do well to bear this in mind.-Em-
poria Republican.
No sort of doubt that the farmers of
Kansas and of the whole country are as
strongly in favor of the principles of
protection as they are ever been; but it
is equally certain that they are placing a
different interpretion upon the pro-
lection idea to what they did two years
ago and longer. The protection the
western farmer stands for, like charity,
begins at home.

That a woman. in spite of the theory
to the contrary. can hold her tongue is
illustrated by the strange case of Mrs.
Mortified, who died a few days ago at
Americas, Ga, She had not spoken a
word for over thirty years. In 1860 her
husband snappishly told her to stop her
talk, and added that the sound of her
voice was hateful to him. She answered
that he should never hear it again, and
he never did. The woman kept her word.
Neither he nor any one else ever heard
her speak from that moment. She went
along in the usual performance of her
duties as a good wife and mother. even
bearing three children after this incident,
but no one ever heard a word fall from
her lips. While the husbands choler is
10 be derogated, it does not excuse that
wife's obstinacv. Think of the remorse
that has ranked in Nerrifelds breast for
that hastv word or two, years ago. If
he IS a man, he must have suffered. If
the woman had loved him. she would
have forgiven him and attempted to erase
the memory of the incident rather than
prolonged it. But she let the imp Of
perversity frown down her love. and.
strange as II NAV seem, probably got
some satisfaction out Of it.

Just now appears to be the busiest sea-
son of the year. Crops that have been
planted are in the midst of the growing
season. when they require the constant
attention and care of the farmer. The
manufacturer is rushed in filling orders
for his wares or stocking up for another
season. In the educational department
all is stir and hustle incident to the clos

tician and Office seeker are in the midst
Of the arduous undertaking Of convinc-
ing the people that the future prosperity
of the country depends upon their prefer
ment to the positions they seek: and
everybody else is as thoroughly engrOsSed
in making hay while the sun shines, to
use metaphor. But when all these
ends have been accomplished the way
will then just be opened for a renewal of
activities in new campaign that will
then be just ready to open, and the fall

All About the Play.

But The acquaintance at once button
holed the unfortunate fellow, who, in
desperation, at last jerked himself
away, leaving the button and piece of
cloth from his oVercOat in the hands Of
the bore.
The bore invades the theater and
commences to tell his neighbor all about
the play, the different actors whom he
has seen in the character and how they
did things when he was a boy. AS the
bore's mission in life is to make the
time pass away pleasantly-to himself
he is possessed of startling fund of
information on every conceivable sub
ject, and by the time that he gets
through his nearer feels like limp rag
which has just been taken out of the
family waShtub.
Then there is the railroad bore, who
stops the conductor and tranmen as
they plsslthrough the car and plies them
with innumerable questions. The only
reason why he is not murdered in pure
self-defense IS that the company's rules
require employees to be polite to paSsen-
gers and to answer civilly all questions
p to them. But when the train hands
reach place of safety the air is made
blue with language which is prohibited
in Sunday school gathering.
Everybody knows that liquor saloons
are favorite resorts for this class of dis
agreeable beings, but even the drug
stores are not exempt from this pest.

The reporter watched that store for
another quarter of an hour and found
that the female bore, like our flag, twas

had hardly gone the length of a square
when he encountered an acquaintance,
who hailed him. Now, everybody

they forgot the troubles of the heroine

any subtle analysis at once put our
finger upon the ridiculous incongruity.

why is play upon words SO amusing?
