Polk Now in Ixalisas.

President Polk has been in Kansas for
the past week attending Alliance meetings.
He came here on the urgent solicitation of
the Kansas leaders, who saw that the Peo-
ple's party movement was waning. Simp-
son, PETER and others impressed upon him
the importance of this tour, of the State in
order to stiffen up the backbones of their fol-
lowers who had about concluded that there
was to be no Third party in the South. Polk,
being at the head of the National Alliance
came to tell the Kansas FARMERS OFFICIALLY
that there will be Third party in the South
next year in every State and in every Con-
gressional district, and he did it.
He has talked nothing else, except to ex-
plain that he didn't go into the Confederate
army until he was forced in against. his will.
When he referred to this subject he ALWAYS

Mono of Them Believed In Omens, Yet Thcy
All Had Peculiar Habits.
ssWhat are you doing! Don't open that
umbrella in the house,
There were six or seven sitting around
the CRATE, and out in the hall was gen.
tleman preparing to leave. He opened
his umbrella to show the hostess the
beauties of the light and slender wire
stem. AS this command floated out to
him his astonished look was equaled by
the shout that went up from the fireside.
As he came in for an explanation, the
speaker said:
..Well, that is really the only super
stition / have left, but l do think 1t
is flying in the face of providence to
open an umbrella in the house"
Then it developed that every one OF
those sensible, sedate men of expert
ence had some one thing that meant to
him an omen of good or i'll. Yet each
scorned the idea of superstition. 1t was
cha bit'' with most of them.
One gentleman said that he always in
disrobing placed his shoes on the same
spot and about in the same position as
if he was standing in them-heels to-
gether and toes out. If by any chance
this was neglected he could not get to
sleep until he arose and arranged his
representatives.
Another one for over twenty years
had carried in his hip pocket a thin,
fiat pocketbook that had belonged to
his father. He never used it, but the
pocketbook was always changed with
his trousers. At times, in forgetting it,
he had neglected important business to
return for it. He never carries any
thing else in the pocket with it. A lady
said one indication of something out Of
the usual happening to her, was, ip
dressing, to get something on with the
wrong side out. 1t did not always
mean bad luck. Some times, though
annoying, it would turn out to be an
extraordinary bit of good luck. The
omen never failed, notwithstanding
that she never allowed herself the COM
forting discomfort-of wishing and wear
ing the garment through the day, loyal
to the mistakes and the old idea of pro-
lection against the hoodoo.
Then another of the party took sill
yer coin out of his pocket and said he
had carried it nearly twenty years, and
would be much annoyed if he lostit, but
of course it is only association.
A gentleman who up to this time had
listened without adding to the sympo-
sium, said:
'Well, 1 know that 1 am not at all
superstitious, but there are some pecu-
liar coincidents in a mans life. Three
or four years ago an acquaintance of
mine gave me poker chip, and said:

Amusing Mistakes in the Transmission Of
Telegraphic Message.


TeIegraphic Message.
MANY have been the laughable mis-
takes made by telegraph operators in
transmitting messages, but it is seldom
that one is recorded so amusing in it's
consequences as occurred in the summer
to gentleman of this city.
He was spending his vacation at the
shore. A dance was to be given one
evening" and, as Mr.. - expected his
brother down from this city to attend
the festivities, he bethought himself of
the excellent plan of sending to him
for some flowers which are always ac-
ceptable to the young ladies on such oc-
casions.
The scheme was no sooner conceived
than it was put into execution. The
telegraph Office was sought and the fol-
lowing message was written and direct
ed to Mr.. IS brother in Hartford.
Bring three dozen Bon Silene
roses''
With a tranquil mind and happy
heart Mr.. awaited the simultaneous
arrival of his brother, the roses, and
the eventful evening. But meanwhile
the telegraph operator had got in his
work, either at one end of the line or
the other, and so far no one was the
wiser.
Mr.. IS plans for the distribution
of the roses were doubtless well set
tied, and he eagerly awaited his broth
er's arrival. At length the latter hove
in sight; but, goodness graciousl what
was the matter with him? He was
loaded down with bundles, and out Of
his pockets peeped still others. In fact, it
seemed to be only with difficulty that
he could get along at all, SO weighted
down was he with mysterious pack
ages.
After partially recovering from his
surprise Mr.. demanded to know
what in the world his brother was
swearing at. The latter, as soon as he
had breath enough, demanded in hts
turn, in an injured tone of voice, to
know why he had sent for so many. 1

RoBINsON'S VENTURE.
Why He Gave Up Journalism and Went to
Selling Pork.

Why He Gave Up Journalism and Went to
Selling Pork.
Robinson dealt in pork during the
day time. They called him Bob to dis
tinguish him from his father, the pork
dealer, whom they called Rob. 1t was
pretty well-known fact that Robinson
never saw pork in it's natural state. and
at a party given one time, when the
guests assembled tied handkerchiefs
about their eyes and drew pigs for
prizes, Robinson drew pig that was
not pig at all but something else. But
he dealt in pork, and as he had pair
of good stout lungs, and always matched
pennies to see whether he would sell or
buy. he made quite lot of money on
the exchange.
But one time the bottom dropped out
of the pig market, and Robinson had to
hustle about to pay his board bill. He
asked newspaper friend of his how he
could make that money, and the news
paper friend advised him to write a
story. So, of course, Robinson wrote
the story. 1t was a pretty little thing,
with lots of good old humor in it and
plenty of jokes that every one would
recognize as old friends. Then he had
had it typewriter and sent out on its
travels.
A nice ladies' magazine accepted it
and in week published it. Robinson
got down his correspondence lists and
selected 200 of his most intimate friends
and decided to send his story to them.
He sent the names to the proprietors of
the magazine and asked that his story
be marked and sent to each one of
them, and then he sat down to decide
what he should do with the money.
At first he thought he would save it
for good luck, but then he remembered
the wrong horse he had backed and the
bill for the cape overcoat. So he decid-
ed that the best thing to do after all
was said and done was to buy the en-
gagement ring. He was very well sat
isfied with the story, and decided to
give up spare ribs and become jour
nalist But the day after the paper APP
peared on the elevated railroad stands
he got note from the publishers. 1t
credited him with $40 for the story,
debited him with $40 for 200 copies at 5
cents each and debited him with $4 for
200 2-cent stamps
Then Robinson went back to spare
