Show The Weather. Was It hot in Utah tills summer? Probably so, probably so, but not quite so waim as in Missouri, where 'tis said that it was "so hot and dry that the wagons went aiound with their tongues out, and Ice hadv to be smoked In water bcfoie It would make lemonade. The cattish kicked up so much dust In the beds or the creeks that the watermelons looked like big chunks or dill. Aspaik fiom an engine en-gine set the to a faimei's pond and half a carload of bull fiogs weie burned burn-ed betoiu the Haines could be extinguished extin-guished and the giound was so dry and haul that tllo ciawtlsh holes In the low places weie pulled up and sold tor gas pipes. Even the hoins were melted oil the cattle." Or couisc we natuially expect extremes ex-tremes in the weather of. Missouri Just as we expect tho limit of shooting shoot-ing in Kentucky, but that It should bo so dry in one place and so wet in another place as a ery tiuthful newspaper news-paper man sajs it is, is almost bejond belief by even the credulous yet It most be so. This man as ho passed oer the countiy noticed bubbles continually con-tinually rising on the waters that coveis the fai mlng lands. On hnestl-gatlon hnestl-gatlon it piovcd to bo the hired men coming up to get air, for they were cutting oats under water. The ducks went on top of barns to lay their eggs which rolled off tho roof and weie hatched by mud tuitles. Tho rural route drlxcrs had a seat on top of their wagons and driving Into a mud hole they whipped the burses as long as they were In sight .and then whipped the bubbles until the hoi.scs came out on the other side of the slough. They ran lawn moweis on the sidewalks Sunday to scaicthc buliriogs oil so the ladies could go to I church. The farmcis arc all glowing 1 gills and the air bladders and llns arc sprouting on their backs. It Is very wet down tlicie tills season. |
