Dry Winds and Erosts Have Re,
tarded Growth.

f. H. Brandenburg has issued
what he desires to have called
..United States Department of Ag-
riculture, Climate and Crop Bul-
letin of the Weather Bureau, Col
orado Section, for the week ending
Monday, April 2s," which sums
up the general conditions over the
state as follows:
.'The week ending April IS has
been 2 degrees or 8 degrees cooler
than the seasonal average in the
western and northeastern counties,
about normal in the central par t
of the state and somewhat above
normal in the southeastern coun-
ties. Several days gave high tenn
peratures but the nights were cool
and frosts, generally light, visited
nearly all sections. The precipi-
tation has been confined TO light
showers in the northwestern and
extreme northeastern counties.
High dessicating winds, which
wee general, were unusually Sc
we're in the southern counties.
Continued dry weather and frosty
nights have tended to delay work
and retard eermination and growth.
and high winds have caused fur
ther drying out of the soil. In
localities the dessicating winds
have injured the terminating seed
and carried away that recently
sown. A good acreage is being
prepared for corn and potatoes !;
and some melons and cantaloupes
have been planted. There has
been some damage to peaches and
apricots by frost in localities in
the western counties and the Ar
kansas valley. The supply of irri-
CATION water which has been inad-
equate. will increase rapidly with
higher temperatures in the noun
tain districts. General and copi-
Gus rains, however, are badly
needed"

Denver Live Stock Markets.

DENVER UNION STOCK YARDS,
April 50. - Cattle receipts were
very light again today and the
trade was mostly on the late ar
rivals of yesterday. Everything
in the yards found Il ready sale
and the market closed early.
There was no change in the mar
ket situation, the best hayfed stuff
selling ut S5.65@6 90, while the
top cows sold at S4.OO@415.
There were a few loads of feeders
on sale which went at 81 10 "a 4.50
for the best of the offerings, the
latter price being with freight paid
to the river.
The feeders market is not show
ing much strength except on
strictly choice stuff in good flesh,
which kind are selling right along
with beef, and it depends upon
the buyer as to whether they are
beef or feeders. The demand is
so strong Tor beef, however, that
very few of these f1eshy cattle are
finding their way to tho feed lots
any more. The market situation
continues very strong on the .at
cattle. The feed lot supply is
growing less daily and a couple of
more weeks will see the last of
them ON the market. After that
the buyers will have to depend on
what they can pick up.
The run of Southern cattle il
starting slowly, but several train
loads are due to arrive, and by
next week the movement will get
started in earnest. There is hope
that there will be some of these
cattle for sale on this market and
arrangements are being made to

Conversation became reminiscent
at the lawyers club the other day,
the late Judge James T. Brady being
the subject, says the New York Times.
A veteran practitioner who knew him
well, said:
Brsdy's first attempt to practice
law was in very humble quarters, in
the rear of a cobbler's shop in Full
ton street, near William. One day
an Irishman who called and inquired
for the cobbler was told by Brady
that he was out. Peering about the
room of the newly fedged lawyer,
scsntily furnished with two uppaint-
ed chairs and deal table, he inquired:
CT say, boss, what do you sell here?'
"'Blockheads,' promptly replied
Brady.
"'Hump!' said the Irishmsn must
be doing good business, IS I see
you have only one left"

Biggest Gun in the World.

After four years the 16inch gun
which has been in the course of con-
struction at the Watervliet Arsenal,
Albany, N. Y, is completed.
This death-dealing monster is the
largest gun ever made, and if it
proves success more of the same
style will be made for the seacoast
defense. It is to be shipped to
Sandy Hook as soon as its carriage,
which is being built at Washington,
is finished, and when it is proved the
artillery experts of the world will be
present at the trial. It is claimed
the gun will throw q shot 21 miles.
In order to discharge it it will re-
quire 1000 pounds of powder and a
1000 pound projectile. Its mech
anism is so simple that it can be
operated by a child. After some
deliberation it has been decided to
put the gun on a disappearing car
riage at Fort Hamilton. The gun
weighs 100000 pounds.

Having a Good Time.

Most people are disposed to make
the best of poor circumstances, es-
pecially if they are stout and good
natured-the people, not the circum-
stances. The humor of the situation
appealed to the two travellers and
they began to laugh.
Say" said one of them, addressing
the driver, s'my friend here is the
chief of police of one of Alabama's
big cities, and he has come up here
to have a good time. He can't do
anything at heme, for acS III
know it. Now tell US v %
up here to have fun
This question interested the driver
very much. He still had some sport
ing blood left after thirty years be-
hind the plough. He dropped his
reins, turned round to face his passen-
gers, and kept his back to the mules,
which continued to plod their weary
way just the same.
"Wael, gentlemens," be said, "I'll
tell you what do to have a good
time. I just gets on the train and
goes either to Birmingham or Atlanta
and buys me Aug of whifkey. Then
I comes back and drinks just as
much as I please, and then I goes
out in the woods and hollows just as
loud as I can, and I had the best time
you ever heard Of"

Reflections Of a Bachelor.

New York Press.
Married life is plain salad that
needs a tip-top dressing.
Virtue does keep very we'll if it is
exposed to hot sun.
Most women would despise them
selves if they were as innocent as
they pretend to be.
The woman who knows how to
provide her husband with q good
breakfast needn't worry about pro-
viding intellectual companionship for
him.
It is the man who can keep his
mouth shut that can keep his brain
open.
If there were nobody in the world
to tell it to, q woman wouldn't care
any more for secret than a man
does.
The uneasy thing about trying to
get rich is that the more man gets
the more be realizes how much more
there is to get.
The girl who knows how to cook
may not be fast sprinter before
marriage, but she wins the long dis
tance matches afterward.
It is easy for a millionaire philo-
sopher to tell young man how to
live on S6 week and put money in
the savings bank.
If you see couple walking along
the street and the man goes on while
the woman pauses to look in at the
shop windows it's sure sign they
are married.
Often a woman is 30 inconstant
that after making up her mind as to
her age she is unable to stick to it.
