THE WHEAT OUTLOOK.
The Promises of a Big Yield More
Than Fulfilled.

ST. PAUL, Aug. 17.-Harvestirg is
well under way all over the northwest
and the promises of big yield are more
than fulfilled. Wheat averages from
twenty five to thirty bushels to the
acre and the increased yield from in
creased acreages makes $50, ,000, 900 bush
els minimum, the product OF the two
Dakotas and Minnesota. Other grains
are close to wheat, oats especially turn
ing out well. Great trouble is exper-
fenced in procuring labor to handle the
immense crop, and the railroads are
hard at work preparing to handle the
grain. Lack of storage facilities will
compel the great majority of farmers to
dispose of their grain soon, and trans
portation facilities will be taxed to their
utmost. The weather for harvesting is
all that could be desired.

More Serious Than Reported.

ST. CLOUD, Mimi, Aug. 15.-The
storm proves to have been more serious
than at first supposed. All corn and
standing grain in its path is utterly
ruined. Hailstones crushed them to the
ground, and the grain in shocks has also
suffered severely Many fields were
badly bruised and cut about the head by
hail. In some places the hail is fifteen
to twenty inches deep on level. Win
dows on the exposed side of the houses
were smashed. No conservative esti-
mate can be made of the damage accom-
plished, but it must be heavy.

A certain portrait painter in this city

an artist, was complimented ON his life

it is creditable now, but was not always
so. remember the first job l ever had.
A wealthy lady came to see me and
wanted her full length painted. L did
the best could, but that was nothing
to brag of. When the lady came to look
at the picture she gave cry of disap
pointment.
/" why, that's not at all like me-, she
said I shall not take it'll
81 assured her it was perfect like
ness, and declared that even her little
poodle would recognize it. Pm willing
to take that risk she said, 'I'll bring
my dog with me this afternoon, anG if
he recognizes me I'll take the picture
Later in the day she brought in the
canine, and the sagacious little animal
after surveying the portrait for NOM
ent, ran up and licked the painted hand.
My lady took the picture without any
further objections"
"But the likeness must have been strik-
ing," / said, ''to deceive the dog"
''Not necessarily said the artist;
ST took the precaution of rubbing a
piece of bologna sausage over the hand
before the dog arrived. ."-WeIcome.
