TWO PATIENTS IN MINERS
HOSPITAL AT LOVELOCK

Although not generally known
throughout the county, Lovelock has a
fine little hospital, which was built by
the mine owners Of Rochester and
Seven Troughs. The county commits
sioners have arranged for a ward in
the hospital and will be able to make
a substantial saving in the care of
county patients from that end of the
county.
The other night Bert Goldsworthy
and miner named Lewis were pain
fully injured by a premature explosion
while working on the 1500-foot level
in the Coalition mine at Seven Troughs
The former was brought in TO the
Miners hospital, where he is resting
easily.
While attempting TO ride wild bur
ro in the hills of the south end of the
county Monday night, Joe Wilson,
prospector, was thrown, sustaining a
fracture of the right ankle. He was
brought to the Miners hospital and
although 70 years of age viii probably
recover.

Athenian Climate.

Athens, according to Byron, was the
choicest spot in Europe. in respect
to climate. He found it "a perpetual
spring; during eight months never
passed day without being as many
hours on horseback; rain is extremely
rare. snow never lies In the plains, and
a cloudy day is an agreeable rarity.
In Spain, Portugal, and every part of
the East which visited, except Ionia
and Attica, found no such superiority
of climate to our own; and at Constan.
tinople, where passed May, June and
part of July, you might damn the cli-
mate, and complain of Spleen five
days out of seven" But mems luck
differs. Gladstone and his party were
only few days at Athens in Decem-
Der. 1858; but, as Lord Morley says,
illusions as to the eternal summer
with which the poets have blessed the
Isles of Greece vanished as they found
deep snow in the streets. icicles on
the Acropolis, and snowballing in the
Parthenon"

Rich Little Poor Girl Depleted az Her.

The rich little poor girl stood out
side her door. On the one side were
snow and ice and the little girl, with
her arms full of lockwood, which she
had CLEANED from the streets. On her
way home she had passed fire, and
the water from the fire hose had fro
zen to the heat stimulators. All, but
let US look on the other side of the
door. A fireplace was there. with
three little ones and their mother
gathered about it. On the stove were
kettles full of various substances. Per-
haps they were eatables-we shall
never know. But there was no fire In
the fireplace nor in the stove. No
warm glow radiated from the hearth,
nor did the kettles sing on the stove.
The rich little poor girl knocked She
was let in. They had been waiting for
her since daybreak--she had been out
all night. Her mother was the first
to speak. And this is what she said,

the family was cold, destitute, forlorn,
but trying to keep up the pace: Have
you got a cigarette? | am half
starved. Harvard Lampoon.
