EFFECTS OF CITY LIFE.
Telling on the Nervous System of the
American People.

1.-THE city life we lead is no doubt telling
on the American people," said a WELL
known physician to a representative of The
Star For one thing, noise is wearing on
the nervous system. We may become so
accustomed to 1t that we sleep through it
and do not seriously mind it. At the same
time we are more or less disturbed by it
whether we are awake or asleep. The
dangers we incur in our daily walk and
conversation are something very trying.
We stop to chat on the street and find that
they are hosting some building materials
right over our heads or perhaps are put
ting safe in the seventeenth story of some
skyscraper, and that we are just in the
right spot to catch some of the debris if
anything breaks. At the street crossing life
Is something like that of a man lodging
bullets in battle. Danger is all around u.s.
and the fact that we all generally escape
does not lessen the injury done to the
nervous system by this constant strain
Dodging street cars, bicycles, automobiles
pedestrians who are not looking where they
going and those who are and see no
one else wagons, carriages, men on horse
back-all this causes a steady waste of
nervous force. 1 doubt if any individual
can cross a street in front of a standing
street car conscious that the gong is to
sound a start at any moment without in
ward trembling, and an involuntary start
when the gong sounds.
II have discovered a new danger which
adds to my nervousness. Coming out of
one of the prominent hotels | started
through the heavy revolving storm door
and saw the man l was looking for coming
through the door on the side opposite me-
The action was thoughtless and almost in
voluntary, but l turned back to meet him
in the hotel. The door was massive and a
boy was pushing it along to assist the
guests and visitors. 1 fortunately turned
quickly enough to squeeze through the
small opening left behind me. bat my arm
was wrenched, and slipped through Just in
time to escape a fracture. One or two
others going and coming We're helping the
good thing along, and | have no doubt the
combined force was sufficient to kill me If
had turned second later. l had never
thought of danger in that connection be-
fore. Ny mind was on my business, and I
turned as naturally as I would on the
street in meeting a man l was looking for.
The only moral could make of it was that
you never know when you are safe All
these exposures to noise or danger wear out
the nervous system

PLEA OF GUILTY.
Thomas Smallwood's Crime Revealed
by Footprints in the Snow.


by Footprints in the Snow.
The fall Of snow Saturday evening led to
the arrest Of Thomas A. Smallwood. COL
ored, on serious charge by Mounted Po-
liceman Evans and Policeman Dunn. The
officers were walking through an alley
Saturday night in the rear Of A. w. Simp-
sons hardware store on Pennsylvania ave-
nue. between 9th and It'll streets southeast.
when they noticed that the back gate OF
the yard to the store was open, and that
there were footprints in the snow leading
up to the door. which they found had been
tempered with.
The proprietor was informed, and an In
vestigation revealed the fact that the store
had been entered, and that cutlery valued
at $50 had been taken. The sum of 20 cents
in money was also missing from the money
drawer, which had been forced open.
The officers Immediately went to work to
find the intruder, and on examining the
footprints in the back yard they discovered
another set of tracks leading from the rear
door of the store out into the alley, which
they followed down the alley to a house
short distance away. Their knocks on the
door were answered by Smallwood, who re-
sides at the house, and he was taken into
custody as the result Of conversation
which followed.
He pleaded guilty to a charge Of house
breaking when arraigned in the Police
Court today, and was held by Judge Kim
ball for action by the grand jury, under
81 600 real estate security.
