At the Edge of the Storm.

The storm Salt Lake experienced yester-
day is the extreme westerly portion of an
area of disturbance which is central over
North Dakota. One might not believe H..
but that's the fact. according To the tele-
graphic accounts that come to the weather
bureau from everywhere. The weather
bureau has figured it out that there was
just a great big storm and that il kept
expanding and expanding until il hit Salt
Lake. There must be something TO all
this. for Ogden didn't have any snow yes
terday. and there was none in the south
eTn part of the state. The indications now
are that the North Dakota storm will
chase itself eastward and give the rest Of

Bryanites TO q high pitch of excitement.
Lenahan declared that Bryan had lied

The convention was in constant uprOar

he was frequently compelled TO stop talk

Lenahan said he was not afraid of the

The Doctor Habit.

One OF the tendencies of Ill health
is to make one morbid people who
are constantly thinking about their
ailments, worrying about their
troubles. suffering pain, often develop
a morbid passion for sympathy. They
want TO tell everybody OF their aches
and pains. to describe their symp-
toms.
Have YOU ev known a women who
has acquired the doctor habit, q
women who loves nothing in the
world quite so well as an opportunity
to tell the doctor OF her ailments?
She has poured them out TO unwel-
come ears, to forced listeners, till she
longs for some one who can really
appreciate It all, who sympathizes
with her in her troubles; so she sends
Tor the doctor, or goes to see him.
This becomes almost mania with
some women, who have few outside
activities to divert them, Their
minds naturally revert TO themselves
and they think of their unfortunate
condition until they become saturated
