Kansas farmers will in a few days be-
gin harvesting the most valuable corn
crop ever grown in the tate. The low
est estimate of the yield is 100000, 600
bushels, while corn exports say 1t will
go rs 600, 900 bushels above that figure.
THIS years crop will probably reach the
yield of 1889 when the state harvested
273 000U 900 bushels But this year 8
crop is much more valuable than that of
1889. Now the farmers are selling at
30 cents bushel, whereas in 1889 the
greater part went for 10 cents a bushel
That year the railroads were compelled
to adopt emergency rates and several
hundred thousand bushels were used for
fuel In western Kansas. 1t was cheaper
to burn corn than to buy coal At the
present price the corn crop will net the
farmers of Kansas SIS 100000.

UNDERSTANDING Poker,

The women believe that every man
knows all about poker. but only few
men do. 1t is true, however, that near
ly every man pretends to understand
the game thoroughly. When there is
poker joke at a theater all the men
smile and look at their women folk2
with sort of pity, but the fellows
who smile know very little about the
game and are afraid to play it, for in
almost every little social AFFAIR con.
nected with chips and pairs there is a
tin-horn gambler industriously engag-
ed in working chumps. The few men
who really understand poker have a
habit of winning the money of the
men who pretend to understand it, so
the large majority of men who know
nothing about the game further than
that a good haId is hard to get. The
writer of this never played a game OF
poker in his life.-Atchison Globe.
