The past week has been warmer
than the normal throughout the
state. East of the mountains the
excess has averaged nearly three
degrees a day, which is a some
what greater excess than has oc-
Cured on the western slope. East
of the mountains the rainfall has
been even less than the small
amount common to the last decade
OF June. In the western counties the
showers have been somewhat heav-
ier and more evenly distributed.
The warm weather has been very
beneficial, especially to corn and
other crops which continued cool
weather had kept backward. The
alfalfa harvest is still in progress
in nearly all parts Of the state; on
the eastern slope the weather con-
ditions have been ideal for the
work. Oats and barley are head
ing in the north-central and east
ern sections; fall wheat is heading
in the extreme western counties,
while in Prowers county this crop
is almost ready to harvest. A good
stand of potatoes is generally re-
ported; early varieties are being
dug in parts of the western slope.
In San Luis Park wheat and other
crops have made excellent progress.
The reports indicate that rain is
needed in several upland districts
along the eastern border. The
effect of the higher temperature is
apparent in the increased flow OF
the streams, which, as rule, have
furnished an abundance of water,
Notwithstanding irrigation has be-
come general.

lily white hand and wandered off
into the residence district. They
soon returned with the proper Off
cial, upon whom the pleasing duty
devolves of issuing permits tolove,
honor and obey for time and eter-
nifty. The county official was
amazed when he learned that the
lady of much embonpoint was not
of legal age, and refused to issue a
license. His refusal cast a de-
pressing gloom over the spirits of
the twain, and they announced
their intention of seeking some
less heartless official in an adjoin-
ing county, who was not such a
stickler on forms and legal techni-
calities, and one who has more
consideration for mortals possessed
OF hearts with but single thought
that desire to beat as one.

A torpid liver always produces
dullness, irritability, etc. You are
all clogged up and feel despondent.
Perhaps you have treated with
physicians or tried some recon-

All that is no argument against

WHAT SHE WANTED.
The Huckster Was Called Up Four
Flights to Hear Something.

Flights to Hear Something.
A huckster was going along an East
side street early one morning last week
making the welkin ring with his sing
song of ''Po-ta-t-o-o-o-es. toma-t-o-o-es-
Nice sweet cooking appools." AS he
drove slowly along he lifted his eyes
to the windows on either side of the
street.
Suddenly there appeared woman's
head at a window in one of the top
flats. The huckster pulled in his horse
and raised his ear to listen to the COM
mands he expected would be coming.
But the woman had not the lung power
to make her voice carry so far. and the
huckster called out: .How's that?"
Again the woman called out and her
voice came down family. The huckster
didn't know whether she wanted DO
tatoes. cantaloupes. tomatoes or corn.
So he marked the fourth fiat from the
corner and motioned that he would
drive around to the alley. The woman
was there waiting for him and called
out once more. but he couldn't under
stand her.
Gathering a handful of samples of
various vegetables from his stock he
| mounted four flights of back stairs and
arrived at the top painting. The woman
| stood there awaiting his coming.
Couldn't hear what you said, lady"
said the huckster. $50 I brought up
some of each kind an you can pick
what you want an III go down an get
'em."
''Want?" said the woman, who was
in a towering rage. Want? dent
want none of your old vegetables What
1 want is for you to stop hollerin' in

Now you get out of here and don't you
holler no more or I'll get the police

The huckster stood with set eyes and
dropping jaw. the perspiration drop
ping off his chin. while this harangue
was going on. When she had finished
he came out of his trance, and said:
''Is that what you called me all the
way up here for? Send fer yer p'lice.
lady; I'm goin' to yell to beat the band"
And he went down the stairs and out
of the alley and up the street in front
of the house with four extra links let
out of his throat. And if any person
slept on that street it was under the
influence of opiates.-Kansas City Star.

ONLY WOLF LEFT IN IRELAND.
Last of a Pack of DinEOs Imported to
Ireland Shot by a Member

The dingo is the wild dog of Aus

pearance, but also in appetite, and it
has strong prediction for lamb and
mutton. Some forty years ago, says
the Westminster Budget. a learned pro-
fessor, who was the curator of the
geological gardens in Phoenix park,
Dublin, imported a number of these
interesting animals from Australia, ap-
parently with the idea that as they
were good for sheep" they would be
useful to the west of Ireland farmers
as sheep dogs. From the natural his
tory point OF view, the result of the eX-
pertinent was satisfactory the dogs.
