whom any saving in weight is a
grateful benefaction. The ladder
consists of a single stile. to which are
secured a series Of horizontal steps.
A single prop pivoted near the upper

From Actinu to Cab Driving.

A Partisan actor who formerly made
a good income in his profession is now
earning his living as a cab driver. He
has taken this step to spite his di-
vorced wife. Wherever he went she
put a lien on his salary. The actor
found .lat the only occupation in
which his wife was helpless against
him was cab driving, because he drew
no wages and had to pay for the hire
of the cab. He says he is making a
good living and is quite happy.

G Il TINS TO SLEEP.
Best Health Enjoyed by Those Who
Retire Early.

Best Health Enjoyed by Those Who
Retire Early.
Perfect health demands not only a
fixed amount OF sleep, but the obser-
vance of regular habits, says DR.. John
d. Quackenbos. And perfect sleep for
man can be obtained only at night, as
suggested by the rythmical succession
Of light and darkness. There is point
to the old proyerb, IAN hours lseep
before midnight is worth two after"
Those who are in the habit of turning
night into day realize this to their
cost. The hour before midnight that
is worth two after is from IL to IL.
And inasmuch as the human system is
more below par at 3 a, III. than at any
other period in the "a hours, sleep
should cover at least two hours on
each side of this time. When life is at
stake in the crises of acute disease,
nurses are instructed to begin special
stimulation at midnight and to con
tinue it until 6 in the morning, in the
hope that tagging energies may be
sustained through this period Of SUI
preme depression.

W|NDUP OF THE
COL0N|ST RUSH
Grand Finale Of Big Migration
West Reaches a Climax
Today.
10000 PEOPLE IN THREE DAYS
All Previous Records Have Apparently
Been Smashed TO Smlthcrcens This
Week on Railroads.

The Nand finale OF the colonist trav-
Ell west that has been under way for
the past three days has simply
swamped the railroads with the result
that all trains have been coming in In
three and four sections. late. and the
motive power departments have been
taxed to their capacity.
During the past "a hours the Rio
Grande alone has hauled 40 tourist cars
into Salt Lake from Denver, while last
night the Union Pacific and Oregon
Short Line delivered at Ogden eight
trains running 10 minutes apart Today
II was necessary to send out special
trains over the Salt Lake Route to take
care OF the big advance In travel. On
tonights train every reservation has
been taken.
During the past three days tho Rio
Grande and Union Pacific have brought
west about 10000 passengers who are
availing themselves OF the low colonist
rate which has now expired.
salt Lake has been one of the dlstrib-
uting points for this big volume of bus
mess and in consequence the local
hotels ana restaurants have been do

SALT LAKE TO ToNoPAH.
Direct Line Through Central Nevada
Is Not Improbable.

II present plans are carried out Salt
Lake should be In direct railroad COM
municaton with Tonopah. New. ere
many months have passed. As already
set forth c. w. Scofeld and associates
OF this city have planned TO build a
light road from Salt Lake to Ely, New,
while the Salt Lake Route has its eye
on a project Of extending a branch line
into the Deep Creek country.
Now comes the statement that Pres
idont Brock OF the Tonopah Railway
company has taken up the matter of es-
tabllshing connections with his line at
Ely While preliminary surveys have
been run President Brock denies that
the road Is in progress of organization.
II Is stated. however, that several OF
the wealthiest mining men in Phlladel-
phia and southern Nevada are consider
ing the proposition seriously.
With the Scofeld proposition an as
srred fact and the Tonopah railway
built to Ely the distance between Ton
opah and Salt Lake will be materially
trimmed. In fact II would be the most
direct line TO central Nevada points.
Then. OF course. the Western Pacific
will be a factor that will cut heavily in
10 the earnings OF the Southern Pacific
on Tonopah and Goldheld traffic.
To date the Western Pacific has the
advantage and Is pushing Its line across
the desert. Tracklaying across the
desert Is now being pushed at the rate
Of a mile a day. The country being
covered IL as level as the proverblal
billiard table and there Is no grading to
be done, the ties being laid usually on
the sand. and the roadbed will be
formed by dumping ballast and raising
the tracks. A gang OF 500 men Is now
working pushing this line west, while
supplies can now be loaded on the cars
IN salt Lake and transported 10 the
edge of the desert.

THERE ARE NO DEAD.

cThe following beautiful poem has In
various forms been published for a
number of years and credited to Rob.
ert Lytton. the celebrated English au-
thor. The real author Is Mr.. McCreery,
now deceased a native of Delaware
county, Ia.D
There Is no DEATH the stars go down
To rise upon some other shore,
And bright in heavens jeweled crown
They shine for evermore.
There Is no DEATH the dust we tread
Shall change beneath the summer
showers,
To golden grain or mellow fruit,
Or rainbow tinted flowers
There Is no DEATH the leaves may fall.
The flowers may fade and pass away
They only walt through wintry hours.
The warm sweet breath OF May.
There is no death, the choicest gifts
That heaven hath kindly lent to earth
Are ever first to seek again
The country of their birth.
And all things that for growth or 10y
Arc worthy OF our love or care
Whose loss has left us desolate,
Are safely garnered there.
Though life become a dreary waste.
We know It's fairest, sweetest flowers.
Transplanted into paradise
Adorn immortal bowers.
There Is no DEATH although we grievs
When beautiful, familiar forms
That we have learned TO love are torn
From our embracing arms.
Although with bowed and breaking
heart,
With sable garb and silent tread.
We bear their senseess dust to rest.
And say that they are dead"
They are not dead they have but
passed
Beyond the mIsts that blind us here
Into the new and larger life
OF that serener sphere.
They have but dropped their robe of
clay
To put their shining raiment on;
They have not wandered far away
They are not 'lost" or gone"
Though disenthralled ana glorlhed.
They still are here and love us yet:
The dear ones they have left behind
They never can forget
And sometimes when our hearts grow
faint,
Amid temptations fierce and deep.
Or when the wildly raging waves
or grief or passion sweep.
We feel upon our fevered brow
Their gentle touch, their breath OF
balm.
Their arms enfold us and our hearts
Grow comforted and calm.
And ever near us, though unseen.
The dear. immortal spirits tread
For all the boundless universe
Is life--"there are no dead"
