Kansas Kafir Corn in England,

The order from London (England) for
Kansas Kaffir corn received by q Wich-
ita grain dealer Is encouraging. The
writer says he has been unable to get
any considerable quantity, though he
could have placed many hundred car
loads lately If he had been able to pur-
chase it, The twenty cars which he
used in introducing the grain graded
better than that brought from France,
Persia, Syria or Smyrna.
The price has fallen some of late, 60
cents bushel, or $3.50 a quarter (eight
bushels) being the present-enough If
it last, to pay better than 15-cent Indian
corn.
This is matter well worth the con-
sideration Of Kansas farmers. Our soil,
more especially in the western portion
Of the State, Is peculiarly we'll adapted
to the growth Of Kaff1r corn. The eli
matte conditions there are such that
Kaffir and other varieties of the sor-
ghum genus grow readily and mature
well, while many plants with which
eastern farmers are familiar, would not
mature one year in five.
The fodder of Kaffir is good rough
feed for horses, cattle and sheep, the
seed when crushed is excellent for hogs
and horses. The cost of raising 1t is
not as great as that attending the pro-
duction Of heavy, tall, yellow corn, while
the average yield OF seed Is about the
same. And now that market is open
ing abroad for 1t there is that additional
inducement to our farmers to raise it
in larger quantities.

a yo1ng attorney just starting ont in
his profession in Chicago was commits
stoned to collect number Of bills by

accounts were against gamblers. Some
Of them had been sued on and judg-

A liberal percentage was offered the
lawyer IL he could succeed in collecting

accounts cud Listened 10 the tailor's ad-
vice about, going for them hot" with

He selected bill Of $75 for one suit

him that he had rot come TO threaten
him with a lawsuit or to bluff him; that

The gnmblor heard him through with
perfectly impassiye face and then said:

MILLIONS OF BUTTONS.

4 Man OF Figures Makes Some Caiculn-
items on the Subject.
We live in an age Of buttons. Tho
people of tho British isles unbutton
100000, 600 buttons every night when
they prepare for bed, and next morning
rebutton the same number, unless a few
millions have been lost in the strug-
gle, says an English writer.
The world has become so accustomed
70 buttons that it has forgotten that
there was ever time when buttons
were unknown. 1t is safe TO say that 90
out Of 100, if asked to name the date of
the first button, would anticipate the
actual date by several centuries. In the
fourteenth century there were buttons,
but no buttonholes. They were purely
ornamental, lacking buttonholes, and
the question voluntarily arises how our
ancestors managed to keep respectfully
covered.
Two hundred years ago there were
not as many buttons in tho world as
could be found in a small old clothes
shop today, and even those were made
by hand. 1t was not until 1745 that
any considerable mandatory was es-
iablished. In that year the famous Soho
works We're opened at Birmingham,
where steel buttons were made Of such
lieauty and finish as to command price
Of el40 a gross, or 81 apiece.
In these modern days we are apt tC
boast that this is an age Of paper, point
ing at the same time to paper wheels

thousand and one novel uses made o.

It is curious fact that as far back a
