Want to Play Ball.
LoyELocK, June q, 1898

L~oyELoCK, June Il, 1878.
4. d. SHORT, Manager, Wadsworth
Dear Sir-What will be the chances
for another game of base ball to be
played here on July 4th between Love-
lock and Wadsworth mines, this time for
a purse. | can't say at this date the
amount, but it will be no trouble to
make up a purse OF some kind here. |
understand there will he no celebration
there, SO ii you folks can come here we
will do our best to entertain you.
Yours truly, W. H. DAVIS,
Manager.
To which Manager Short replied it
would be impossible to get his team to-
gether again just now on account of so
mapy of them being hrakenlen and
%swltchmen, who could not get a day off
on account OF brisk business and scar
city oil men, hut possibly the shop men
here might get up a team and go the
hay balers a round. Then Mr. Short
told Billy Enright about it and the next
we hear OF it comes in the followi ing
telegram:
LoyELocK, New, June Soto W. En-
right: Has Wadsworth no nine with
sand enough for a. purse OF fifty dollars.
W. Fl. DAVIS.
The shop boys cannot get Il team to-
gett,er to go to Lovelock, at least they
say so. If it is sand hat is wanted,
however, plenty can be had on the hills
across the river.
Battle Mountain wired a challenge
down here "A week or so ago asking for II
game and saving that Loyelock was
afraid TO play them.
Wadsworth visiting ball games are
over this season until business slows
down = little on the railroad. For an
employee to get a lay off is an impossi-
bilIty at present.

THE DOG DAYS.
The Period Set During the Dog Stars
Presence.

The Period Set During the Dog Stars
| Presence.
The subject of dog days is a very
interesting one at this time of the
year, and there are many opinions
as to when dog days really begin.
when they end, and what they are
Some people hold that dog days dc
not begin until August 1st, while
others contend that they begin on
July 2Sth.
The origin of the dog days is very
antique, and they came about in this
way: The great heat of July led to
superstition among Romans. They
conceived that the pre-eminent warmth
and the diseases and other calamities
flowing from it were somehow con-
nected with the rising and setting OF
the star Canicula, or Little Dog star,
in coincidence with the sun. They
accordingly conferred the name of dog
days upon the period between the Sd
of July and the 18th of August. So,
the 20 days following the rising of the
dog star constituted the dog days of
the Roman superstition. The poet,
Horace, even believed in this super
stition. He makes allusion to it in his
address to the Blandusion Fountain, in
which he remarks that the influence
of the dog star has made the water
warmer.
Yet, Sirius, the dog star, otherwise
called Canicula-which the Romans,
without any reason, regarded as the
star of evil omen--is very big thing.
1t is star of the first magnitude,
says the astronomers, located in the
constellation of the Great Dog, and
the brightest in the heavens. This
star is only $4,000, 100000 miles from
the earth, and has proper, that is to
say, independent motion of its own.
1t would take 400 suns like ours, at
the distance that Sirius is from the
earth, to send us as much light as that
star. Our sun at that distance would
be less than star of the sixth magni-
tude and would be invisible to the
naked eye.

TAKEN UP.-Judge Coffey, of San
Francisco, is described by The News
Letter of that city as having strong
disapproval of garrulity. A lawyer,
he declares, should cultivate concise
ness.
An attorney, learned in the law but
afflicted with the disease of long wind
edness in peculiarly malignant form,
was neatly cut short by the tart and
astute probate judge.
After pleading in very plain case,
with wearisome prolixity, the worthy
attorney suddenly asked in rhetori-
cal vein, but with no idea of conclu-
ding his argument
"Need I say more?"
Judge Coffey had been impatiently
waiting for an opening and, percelving
his opportunity, answered quickly, but
with the blandest courtesy:
"No, brother, you need say nothing
more"
Before the lawyer realized the re-
mark of the court, and while he was
about to resume his oration, standing
with open mouth and outstretched
hand, Judge Coffey decided against
him, dismissed the proceeding and
called the next case on his docket.

EACH In HIS PLACE.-We have
heard the story of the Canadian mis-
tress who, with seven servants in her
house, was obliged to 60 to the garden
and pick berries for the table. Each
of the. servants declined the task with
the stereotyped excuse, "1t amt my
place to pick berries" Ord, in bis
ssHistory of Cleveland" relates an an
ecdote of Margaret Wharton who,
while accepting her servants excuse,
vet made them do her will.
In one of her visits to Scarborough,
Mrs. Wharton, with her usual econo-
my, had family pie for dinner, which
she directed the footman to convey to
the bakehouse. This the man declined
to do, as not belonging to his place, or
rather as derogatory to his conse'
ouence. The lady then moved the
question to the coachman, but found
a still stronger objection.
To save the pride of both, Mrs.
Wharton resolved to take the pie to
the shop herself. She ordered one
man to harness and bring out the
horses, and the other to mount and
ride behind, and thus the errand was
done with all honor and ceremony.
Then in due time the coachman was
ordered to put to a second time, and
the footman to mount behind, and
Mrs. Wharton brought back the pie in
the same dignified state.
"Now," said the lady to the coach
man, "you have kept your place, which
is to drive; and you yours" to the
footman, (which is to wait; and L
mine, which is to have my pie for
dinner"
