A bumper wheat crop, sufficient to mill more than 16,500,000 barjels of flour, n crop that may reach the proportions of the record wheat harvest of 1001 if conditions henceforth are exceptionally favorable, was forecast Monday by the Department of Agriculture in its June crop report, issued in Washington. Government-experts estimated this year’s harvest would be 744,000,000 bushels, of which 492,000,000 bushels will be winter wheat —a record for this crop—and 252,000,000 bushels will be spring wheat. Ehe third largest acreage ever planted and favorable growing conditions account for the prospect for an abundant yield. The showing for a bumper crop was made in face of a reduction of 8.4 points in condition and of about 22,000,000 bushels in quantity from the figures indicated a month ago for winter wheat.
Trousers that are not trousers, skirts that are not skirts, but a combination of both—the trouserine—will be offered by Chicago dressmakers as the “cure” for that naughty, naughty, but popular slashed skirt. Hereafter modern women will pull on her “pantaskirt” over her ■feet, not over her head. The dreams of many decades are coming true. The woman is going to wear the trousers. The modistes say “let her have ’em,” and that settles it.

than anything else. He stated that when he left years ago people usually had a pleasant face and smile but that now when he looked into the faces of business men he generally, saw hard, tense lines and a drawn look, but seldom even the-ghost of r. smile. He ascribes the change to intense business cares mid the mad rush for wealth which is taking all-the real joy out of life. There is much justice in the criticism. Men so eager to make money that they spare little time for recreation and domestic ties must necessarily grow into the hardness of the

When the Chicago Dressmakers' Association opened warfare upon the little slash that first disclosed only an instep, then an ankle and finally, well, some are covered by lace insertion —its members began to search for a respectable yet satisfying substitute. Every one knows that trousers are respectable and, if on the man, why not on -the woman? W. E. Hosac, leader of the fight against he slash, figured it out that way. Then he designed the trouserine. The newest in feminine limb coverings is just a great flaring anklelength pair of pantaloons so covered with drapery that on the street one would never ndtice them at all. Trousers and drapery are all one and there is no Mexican slash in the trousers, either. Designers who are about to offer the “trouserine” say that it will solve the problem of permitting women to wear skirts closely bpund around the ankles and still permit her to climb street car steps without embarrassment. The drapery idea, they say, is the one solution.

Under the old method of figuring the total wheat crop would be '793,000,000 bushels instead of 744.000. The difference is due to the fact that formerly the crop prospect was figured as it actually existed at time of observation, while in the new method there is a discount of the possible loss between the date of forecast and harvest as based on the average of the last five years. In effect the total wheat crop is 14.000. bushels larger than a year ago under the official discount and 63,000,000 bushels larger than last year if computed on its actual prospect as of Junel.

Trousers and drapery are of the same material and no one cun tell that the trousers are there, that is. not unless some diot-atisfied woman shortens the drapery and resorts to the Mexican slashed trouser idea. There lies the modii-te’s only fear. Regardless of ec«-entric variations, this much is certain —woman, long ago discarding petticoats, is finally about to realize her dream. Soon “every one will wear the pants at our house, like onr old man.”

and eggs, she silently admired the tall, strong, lithe figure, and wondered why he lived in the cabin. While serving the meal he gave her the explanation, also told her of his loneliness and how time lagged with nothing to look forward to. “This has been a rare treat for me. You are my first visitor. Mr. Benton is my commissary and comes twice a week, but you are a really, truly guest.”
They had not noticed that the storm had abated until three loud knocks on the door disturbed their conversation. It was Benton with the supplies.
After hearing how the girl had taken the wrong trail when bound for his home, he laughed and said, “Well, well, Mr. Ward, I’ll warrant you were well entertained. Miss Martin is a great favorite with us. Now, like a bad ogre, I’m going to take her home with me.” Stephen glanced at the girl. “Will you come again?” he asked with a please-do look in his eyes. “Yes. some time, perhaps Mr. Benton will be kind enough to allow me to accompany him. Goodby, and thank you for sheltering me.” He stood in the doorway and watched until a bend in the trail hid them from sight. Then he drank a deep, full draft of the lifegiving air, and began anticipating her next visit.—.lean Douglas, in the Buffalo Express.

The country boy never turned his head but answered: “1 was just seeing how long a fellow could ’tend to Ins ewn business without some durned fool wanted to know what he was doing.”
Changed Life of Man Who Had Given Up Hope.
With this first storm came a more forceful realization of his isolation. Then fate spun another thread and Stephen’s future was changed. During a brief lull of the tumult he heard the whinny of a horse and impulsively answered with the whoowhoo call so frequently used in that country.
Then he started down the trail, and, aided by a vivid flash of lightning, discovered a girl astride a horse. For a minute they gazed speechless at one another, and then the girl stammered, “I—I—think I have last my way, or does this trail lead to Lost Creek?” '“No; you should have taken the other road two miles down the mountain. This leads to my cabin, no further.” Just then a few raindrops, the advance guard of the tempest, fell as a warning, and Stephen realized the full extent of her plight.
On account of the lateness of the season the trade is uncertain regarding the spring wheat prospect. This uncertainty will likely continue until near harvest as, although few complaints have been received, the slipshod method used so universally in a large area northwest of disking in the wheat on stnbble ground leaves the crop in danger if more than the usual adversities appear.

Several “Biddy Friendlies” (who occupied the sections adjacent to his) tried to become “chummy,” but when he stared absent-mindedly at the landscape, totally ignoring their witty remarks, they pronounced him a “sphinx” and let him alone.

“You must dismount and we will make for my cabin.” Grasping the horse’s bridle, he led the way, the girl following without comment. ’ They entered the cabin and Stephen lit the lamp, then threw another log on the-fire. The rain descended in torrents, beating against the door like a frenzied fiend. The girl shivered. “You cannot imagine how relieved I was to hear your call.

It is said that the-heels now worn on shoes had their origin in Persia, where they took the form of flat wood on sandals to raise the feet and protect them from the hot sands.

Here the originators of the fashion were jealous husbands who reasoned that their ladies

PENANCE STILL PERFORMED.
At Whitby, England, on Ascension day, is to be seen the keeping of the strange old custom of the planting of the Homgath, the oldest of the British penances. In the days of Henry II. the lords of certain manors hunted a boar into a hermit’s chapel. The hermit shut the door and kept the hounds out. and the barons, in their rage, slew him. He, dying, decreed that as a penance the lords should, on each anniversary of his death, carry wood to thj water's edge at low tide and drive in stakes. Should the erection not survive three tides their lands should l*e forfeited to the Abbot of WhiJJjy. To this day the ceremony is performed by representatives of the lord of ‘he manor.

These heels were called “clogs.’’ and in order to satisfy the vanity of the wearers and perhaps to sweeten the pill—that is, the discomfort of appearing in them—they were elaborately adorned, sometimes being incrusted with gold and silver.
