Congressman Peter ]. Dooling Of
New York smiled the other evening
when reference at a dinner was made
to effeminate ways. He said he was
reminded of the explanation OF Smith.
Some time ago the Smiths attended
a reception where they met man
named Brown. On the way home.
while exchanging opinions OF the
guests, Brown was mentioned.
Speaking of that man Brown" Wig
orously remarked Smith. "he certainly
has an efIeminate way of talking"
why. john" was the wondering re-
joinder of Mrs. Smith, "how can you
say that? He certainly has very loud
and masculine voice!
Yes, know he has" explained
Smith, but what l mean is that he
talks all the time" Tele-

Weather and Crop Report.

Denver. - According to p. Nc
Donough, acting section director of
the weather bureau, weather condi-
tions during the past week were gen
orally favorable to crop growth and
farming operations, and all crops
made satisfactory progress. The sun
shine was generally abundant and
temperature conditions were practical
ly normal. Although the rainfall was
generally less than the usual seasonal
average. frequent and beneficial
showers occurred over the entire
state but at the close Of the week
rain was needed in nonirrigated dis
trcts. The heavy rains of the pre-
cedng week damaged alfalfa in south
central countries. I he harvesting OF
the second crop of alfalfa is practical
ly finished and the third crop has had
an excellent start. Wheat is being
harvested and thrashed, the yield be-
ing exceptionally good. The condi-
ton of corn, sugar beets, potatoes, pas
lures, fruit, tomatoes and cantaloupes
is notably good. Pears and early vari-
cites of peaches are being shipped
from Western fruit districts.

had gone to live with another man
Ihe woman was arrested on charge
OF dlsorderly conduct. Harber was
then informed that he, too, was under

re-arrested and held as witness. The
Fort Collins police failed to connect
Harber and the two other men with

REVELATION WAS TOO MUCH
Picture of "Hollering Jones' at Fa-
vorite Diversion Caused Him
to Reform.

A well-known illustrator, who makes
interesting western pictures, once
made the acquaintance Of noisy but
good-natured cowboy who rejoiced in
the appellation of "Hollering Jones"
In physical appearance this man was
typical of his kind, and the artist made
several studies of him, both in re-
pose and In his favorite diversion of
'hollering.' Some of the studies were
sold by the artist to an eastern maya
zite. They showed Jones in his most
violent state.
A year later the artist again visited
the region. He was soon approached
by Mr.. Jones himself, bearing one of
the pictures, which he had torn from
the magazine In which its was printed.
Pointing to it, he asked:
rs that me?"
Well" replied the artist. evasiyely,
Il got the general idea from you, Of
course, but"
'Oh, amt takin' no offense," Jones
made haste to say. ITS all right only
II It's me, say so.'
III you put it to me that way" said
the artist, Il can only reply that it is
a fairly good portrait of you"
The men here on the ranch agree
with you. So l look like that when
holler, do II"
Il think you do"
In that case said Hollering Jones
"all I've got to say is that Hollering
Jones has hollered his last holler
Hereafter, when l celebrates, l does
so with a tin horn. In my own opin
ion, no man has right to look like
that-not round white folks, anyhow
