coIorado's Wheat Crop.

Denver.-A conservative estimate OF
the value of the wheat crop in eastern
Colorado for the present year Is S6,25O,-
900, based on 10000 sown, yield OF
twenty-five bushels per acre, and IL
per bushel for the product.
The above figures are all placed at
the minimum, as it Is likely that acre
age, average yield and price per
bushel are low. While the exceptional
yield is due largely this year to the
heavy rainfall, the farmers of eastern
Colorado are planning more irrigation
works and taking as few chances as
possible on losses by dry year.

woman's club one day, when the
first matron remarked:
Hattie. met your 'ex.' dear old
Tom, the day before yesterday. We
talked much of you"
'Is that so?" asked the other ma
tron. Did he seem sorry when you
told him of my second marriage?"
Indeed, he did; and said so most
frankly!"
"Honest?"
Honest! He said he was extremely
sorry, though, he added, he didn't
know the man sonally."-Lippin'

weII of All the Disappointed Crowds You Ever Saw!

Saturday her weight was just what II
had been on Friday, and Sunday she
weighed exactly the same. And Thurs
day of the next week she weighed the
last Thursday to fraction. The ex-
citement was terrible. One party said
she would do it, and one said she
would never in the world-that she
was naturally that size and nothing
would change it-and 1t began to look
as If they was right, when, Spang!
Friday morning her greatness Of size
began to break loose!
It was like a river flood caused by
an ice jam, and Aunt Rhinocolura
started in Friday morning at $3.50 to
lose flesh like river loses It's flood
when the ice jam breaks. 1t started
all at once, just that way. There she
was, just as big as ever, and Biff! all
at once she began to fall OFF! By a.
m. she had lost ten pounds, and by
8: 30 she had lost 26 pounds and ten
ounces, and was falling rapidly. SO
the watchers ran out and rang the fire
bell and the populace gathered breath
lessly and by that time it was 10 a.
m. and reports passed that Aunt Rhi-
nocolura had lost So pounds and that
the falling off was increasing at a
rapidly progressive rate.
Just there was where Aunt Rhinoco-
lura began to get scared. She didn't
know where she would stop thinning.
Like as not she might go right on los
ing until she was all gone and too thin
to wear anything, except coffin. But
she was a mighty kind-hearted old
lady, and did not mean to disappoint
anybody if she could help it, SO she
called in two neighbor ladies', and
there they stood, one on each side of
her, with the directoire gown in hand,
ready to jam it onto her the minute
she touched the right weight, and she
stood on the scales with her eyes fixed
on the dial, ready to give the word.
and all the time she was contracting
rapidly. Then. all at once, she gave a
yell, and the hired girl rung the din
ner-bell out of the front window, and
the neighbor ladies jammed the gown
onto her and hooked it up the back in
one-tenth Of second, and Aunt Rhi-
nocolura made dash for the door
and everybody glued their eyes to the
place where the split In that skirt
was
Well, of all the disappointed crowds
you ever saw. That directoire skirt
didn't cause any excitement at all
Come to find out, the split was on the
same side that Aunt Rhinocolura's

The Springfield herald., 1909-07-23

Aunt Rhinocolura BetZ. of Betzville,
b one of the dearest old ladies you
ever saw, even If she has one wooden
leg, but II she has one failing 1t is the
desire to be stylish, and when she
read in the papers about those new
tangled directoire gowns, she sat right
down and wrote letter to the city
for one. and 1t came Thursday before
last. She gave all her proper meas
ures, but the gown makers did not
seem to care for them. They thought
about half of Aunt Rhinocolura would
be enough to go into directoire gown
at one time, l guess. In their letter
they came right out and said that 60
inches of bust measure was absolutely
un-directoire; and as for hip measures,
the really fashionable people were try
ing to get along nowadays about as
hiplessly as possible. They wrote that
they were willing to do all in their
power but that Aunt Rhinocolura
must do her share. They said they
Judged that If she banted off about $50
pounds she would find the gown they
were sending good snug fit.
That letter was an awful disappoint-
ment to Betzville. There we were, the
whole crowd of us, hanging around in
front of Aunt Rhinocolura's residence,
waiting for her to come out with her
split-up-the- dress, and to get a
glimpse, maybe. of half a yard or so
OF silk stocking flashing out of the
split, and all our vocal chords tuned
up for hearty cheer, when her hired
girl stepped out on the front porch and
read the letter. 1t was sad disap-
pointment, but it was a sadder one to
Lunt Rhinocolura.
/ don't suppose you ever tried to
bant off 1870 pounds; l never did; but
Aunt Rhinocolura started right in to
do 1t. There are AZ ways to get rid
of over-largeness Of the human being,
and Aunt Rhinocolura took them all
up at once, knowing how eager the
population was to see that gown. She
was right kind-hearted old lady.
Someeof the f1esh-reducer was the kind
you take inwardly out of bottle, and
some was cling-fast rubber things that
you lace around the human form and
sleep perspiringly in, and some was
potatoes you don't eat, and some was
running around the block rapidly, and
some was standing an hour after each
meal, and there was others.
Well, Aunt Rhinocolura she took
them all up at once, and worked hard
at them. No wood-sawyer ever worked
harder than what Aunt Rhinocolura
did, but the thing seemed to hang fire
Friday she hadn't lost an ounce, and
