The rooters and cranks witnessed heart

the visitors tied the score and with but
one man out and Il man on second and
third, Ryan sent II fly to left field. Jake

liams to catch Warrick, who was sprint
ing from the third bag.

twirlers and the former was batted so
hard in the third inning that he retired
and kimble was substituted in his stead.
In the third it literally raine hits; every
time DUSTY" put a ball over the plate it
was smashed to the fence. either for two
or three bases. In the hitting melee the
visitors scored five runs. Kimble kept
the hits so well scattered after he went

Tate singled, and Williams went to third
Reiman made a bad throw to second Will
liams scored and another bad throw of
the ball 10y Hargrove allowed Tate to
cross the rubber In the third Fleming
and Mccain both made singles and Tate
sent the horse hide to the right field fence
for three bases: then little George Wrig-
ley walked up to the plate and lined it
over the fence for homer. In the sew
enth Tate sent another ball to center
field, it took a bad bound and passed Har-
grove and the batter went to third; Wrig-
ley hit for two bases and Tate scored In

KAFFIR TAKES a STEP HIGHER
1t is Made Subject % Education in Wich-
ita Schools.

On Tuesday Of this week Miss Stan
ton 2 teacher in the Franklin school,
assigned the pupils Of her room to the
task Of writing an essay upon hathr
corn. and the following are the samples
of the productions Of the school, rang
ing from to 10 years Of age.
AS Kafir corn is a subject which is
attracting not only the attention Of the
farmers, but millers, merchants and all
classes of citizens the essays are given
IN the exact language as delivered to
the teacher and without the knowledge
Of the pupils that il would be published.
1t Will he seen that almost every essay
views the subject from a different
standpoint, yet the majority are more
theoretical than practical and but lew
actual experiences are given.
1.-THE KafIir corn belongs TO the Mil
let family of plants, the same as the
sorghums, but it is not sweet like the
BorghumS. 1t was brought first from
India and South Africa. II can stand
the drouth better than Indian corn.
When there is a drouth the Kaffir corn
will stand still and not grow any until
Il rains again. While the same drOuth
the Indian corn would perish. 1t is
good for Kansas, because Kansas is
subject to drOuth. The leaves and
stalks of Kaffir corn is good for fodder
for horses and cattle. The seeds are
used in place of Indian corn, to feed
hogs, cattle and horses, and il Is used
20 make -four and batter cakes. It
would be better for the farmers Of the
state of Kansas to raise more Kaffir
corn which they are doing rapidly. 1t
grows from four to eight feet high. The
seeds grow up on the top of the stalks.
It is planted in April and May and is cul
tivated like Indian corn. which it re-
Eembles somewhat a a distance.
