A question with farmers is what crop

the kaffir corn. In some of the west

very profitable crop and is receiving
considerable attention. Within the
last two years in the east it is found to
stand greater variation of moisture,
especially drought, and produce more
certain crop than other grains raised.
Now what we farmers want to do is to
try it and find out what it will do in
this part of the country. | knew it is
the best fodder for cows that give milk
and shall plant more this year than I
did last. There is no difficulty in it's
cultivation. The plant is hardy and 1
believe it is coming to be one of the
staple crops.

How a Great Canvas Was Moved.

The moving of painting from a
pavilion of the city of Paris in the
Champs Elysees to the Auteuil gallery
offered very difficult problem to the
Paris city authorities. The painting, by
M. Roll, representing the celebration
of July IA, is 80 feet long by 23 feet
high and with the massive frame
weighs over 2,20O pounds. 1t was i'm
possible to move the painting in the
ordinary way, by taking the canvas off
the frame and rolling it, for the paint
ing, being vanished, it would probably
have cracked in several places. 1t was
therefore decided to move the canvas
and frame as a whole. After much de-
liberation a special chariot was con-
structed over two Of the floats which
were used in the Mardi Gras procession.
The city engineer, with eight laborers,
proceeded to the pavilion and the paint
ing was carried by eight men, eight
Others bracing the upper part Of the pic
ture to keep it in an upright position
until it was deposited in the chariot. It
was finally got out without accident
and slid upon CREASED planks upon the
chariot. Arrived at the Gallerie d'Au-
teuil, the picture was similarly carried
to its new quarters. The painting is
one Of the largest in existence and was
painted by order of the French govern
ment in 1880 to perpetuate the memory
Of the first national holiday Of the third
republic. Paris Letter.

Commercial law terms are not entire
ly safe at all times. John E. Watrous,
deputy United States marshal for the
southern district of Kansas, sends in
this story:
Mart Hoover years ago, when Kansas
was not the cultivated commonwealth
it has since become, had sent a consign.
ment of corn to a commission merchant
in Kansas City. The merchant tele-
graphed, telling the consignor: "Your
credit is $27.40 Draw on me at sight.
But Hoover was mad. He had ex-
pected his money, and none came. He
felt he had been duped, and he treasured
up the grievance One time, about six
weeks later, the commission man came
to Hoover's town, got out of the bus
and started to walk down street. Hoo
yer saw him and instantly drew his re-
volver and fired. His eye was fairly
good. The bullet cut away the mer-
chants necktie and unfastened his col
lar.
Then Hoover put up his gun.
"That's expensive shootin," said he,
"but I reckon you're as sorry as l am. -
"What do you mean?" demanded the
town constable, arresting the gun man.
"He told me to-" said Hoover, sur
prised.
"Told you to?" demanded the white
checked city man. II never did any
thing Of the kind"
"You did," said Hoover, and draw.
ing out the telegram he read:
"'Draw on me at sight.
II done it, said he.-Chicago Post.
