Argument to fhow 1t Docs Not Mca
Mental railuve.
Is Observation-Disclosures indicative O
mental failure! This question is sug
gested by such facts as the large mum
Der of unaddresscd letters posted eacl
year. An English contemporary cite
in evidence the official list of articles
left in ono year in the London CABS
| and omnibuses. It includes $50 canes
| $4,000 umbrellas, 267 rugs, 742 oper;
glasses, 926 articles of jewelry, 1S'
watches, 3,239 purses, besides birds
dogs, cats, etc.
The list seems like pretty severe
Indictment OF the mental qualities Of
the modern city dweller, and II the
hard pressed newspaper reporter hap
pens to see 1t he will undoubtedly send
off narrowing syndicate letter to all
the Sunday editors on this alarming
demonstration Of mental degeneracy
of the twentieth century man. Even
our medical contemporary suggests
the adyisability of those who ride in
omnibuscs and who forget things OF
consulting physician.
The more marvellous thing, however,
is that they do not forget far more
often than they do. Civilization has
suddenly increased thousandfold the
necessary and synchronous preoccu-
patton OF the mind. Singleness OF at
tention was the predominant charac-
teristic OF mental action before our
tine of bewildering interests and du-
ties. Not to have learned the trick OF
posing in the attention at one instant
such a multitude of objects is certain
~ not a demonstration Of mental fail
ure, but rather Of non-acQuirement OF
a difficult art.
But the more convincing proof OF
the actual triviality Of the amount of
forgetfulness is shown by the COMPARE
son Of the number Of memory slips of
the Londoner with the number who
ride in omnibuses and other public
carriages. Let us double the number
of lost articles and put the total at
$4,000; II now we roughly estimate the
number of rides each day In London,
as at least on the average one for each
twentieth citizen, we calculate In a
year there are surely as many as 10O,-
1000 trips made. Consequently, on
the average, a person forgets some ar
ticle once in about every 2.oO0 trips
taken.
The alarmist adviser Of consultation
of an alienist for such failures of men,
DRY would probably smile at this evil
dence Of his own mental failure

re Is Not TIC One Usually Who Is
In Danger.
A man who was arrested by local
detectives few weeks ago and after
ward sent to the penitentiary on u
charge of burglary, talked freely to
the officer concerning his manner Of
living:
"Will you tell me why you prefer
life Of crime to that of an honest, up
right man." the detective asked him.
II have often wondered" added the
officer. why burglars will take such
desperate chances, when so frequently
there Is but little to be gained"
But we don't take the chances"
said the burglar. "The man who
comes after Us takes the chances. He
takes his life In his own hands when
he leaves his beu-chamber and goe:-
in pursuit of an unwclcome caller.
The odde are all against him and in
favor Of US. We know where We ere
and have en- idea from where the oc-
cupant of the house will come. OF
course. we only go to rob. and, when
necessary, to fight. No burglar is
going to get caught il he can help 1t.
even II he has to resort to murder"
STILL" the detective reasoned, "you
are bound to be in danger some time,
and that some time should think,
would deter you from taking the
chances"
There are remote chances" the
burglar said. "but they are 50 remote
that they are never considered. II
you will consult the records you will
see that not one burglar IN a hun.
dred cases over gets hurt. Until there
Is great charge in the results you
may depend upon 1t that burglaries

Diamonds arc succumbing to three
kinds of evolution:

dies and gentlemen to advertise their
wealth by a display Of diamonds.
(2) a scientific evolution. Thanks
to this diamonds are SO wonderfully

entitled Outdoor Social Life in Colo

in the east have gotten the idea that
the mountain towns are all froze up
the last of August and people are com
pelled to sit by the tire the remainder
of the winter. To this end the author
will relieve this erroneous impression
among our eastern friends. as the book
is profusely illustrated by half-tone
pictures of outdoor life in Colorado in
mid-winter, together with descriptive
matter sufficient to convince the most
