fire at the Delta County Hospital over
90 patients were thrown into a panic
and many were forced to leave the
building in their night clothes.
SO dense was the smoke and so rap
idly did the flames gain Roadway that
the attendants were unable to control
the frightened patients, and many who
were thought to be at the point OF
death arose from their beds and cs-
capped from the building by ladders
and hrc-cScapeS.
Many stood about the outside OF the
building nearly 30 minutes, dressed
only in their night clothes and in snow
up to their knees before they could be
taken to nearby homes.
The fire was under control within an
hour. but it is feared that many OF
the patients who were suffering from
typhoid fever will never recover from
the effects OF the exposure.

Farmers are Encouraged.

Farmers in the northern part of
this state have good reason to feel en-.
couraged on account of the outlook for
= good season.
Lack Of snow during the winter
gave rise to fear that there would be
a scarcity Of water for irrigation, but
the rains that have fallen since the
opening OF spring have done much to
remove this fear. Sufficient rain has
fallen to render immediate irriga.
tion unnecessary, and the surplus
water in the streams can be used to
fill storage reservoirs.
Colorado stock growers also have
good reason to take n hopeful view OF
the situation. since the grass on the
range will get a goo d start and this
will supply cattle and sheep with
abundant feed.
Although abundant rain has fallen
in the vicinity Of Denver. the country
to the northeast Of the city has been
even more highly favored. there hav-
ing been a greater precipitation in
that locality. Altogether the outlook
has been SO greatly improved that the
prospect is good for prosperous year.

T is pleasing to that personal vanity
which we mortals possess to believe
that our own individual troubles are
greater than those of our neighbors. If
our neighbor begins to tell us. as she
usually does, of her woes and bodily
ailments the chances are that we choke
her off abruptly to talk her down by
the louder recital of our own distress
and the description of our pain and
disease. There are women who sit with
their knitting or embroidery half day
and swap" tales of grief, poverty, ill
ness and the moral depravity in others
from which they are compelled to suf-
fer.
Each enjoys the dolorous telling.
Take away their griefs and burdens,
and what satisfaction would they have
left in life? At least if they were de-
prived of the privilege of telling the
tale of their ailments and sorrows it is
certain there wouldn't be any fun at all

No baths are furnished at the tramps'
