The Latest and Most Signif-

and County Hospital.
MAY THE ATTACHES DARE TO LIVE ?
No Reason Given for Their Punish

Giving Out Information.

"And men loved darkness rather than light be-
cause their deeds were evil"
The City and Coun Hospital has dur
ing the past year been the source OF many
sensations of more or less Importance, but
those days are now past and gone.
From the time the nightly reyels OF the
nurses and internes were made public to
the present day so many funny things
have happened in this home of rest for
the aff1 cted that no story emanating &
from il, no matter how largely overdrawn
it may be, is looked upon as unusual or
startling.
From the internes being accused of
holding nightly revels and doing tn ngs
under cov4r of darkness. because perhaps
their deeds were evil, the order has been
com pletely reversed. The young phys
clans, who in an exuberance of youthful
buoyancy may have been guilty Of some
few pranks, full accounts of which were
served up 10 the public. are long since
gone and their places have been filed by
others-young men whose broad fore h cad s

Some Possible Reasons Why Such
Things Can Go On Forever
and No One Say Nay.

Hey, Jimmie, come over and get a
smell. Dey's cookin' a duck"
Yes, It was true. The ollactorv bill of
fare had been changed. The familiar
Odors of sauerkraut lin burger cheese

ID abeyance. There was rejoicing in the

Il was fsh-duck, TO be sure; but even
a tish-duck is an mprovement over the

millinery store.

But alack and alas. The Joy was short

poured forth that thing without a name

The ruse had worked. The lure of the
