The important question remains how
best to get rid Of the fly. Fly papers

from a sticky substance is o an en-

THE COST OF FAST
LIVING IS HEAVY
Of Alienists Show an
Alarming Increase Of In
sane Patients.
From the washinxton Post.

IOxl tAkC w 0u1k kkO14F = VUks ENL go
The alienists Of New York admit
there is grave cause for concern writ
ten In the figures recently compiled by
the State Charities Aid association Of
h Empire state regarding the number
of persons in h insane asylums. On
October 1 last the aaylums reported
patients to the number of 30,607. an
excess owe the previous year Of 1,414.
This increase is nearly double the
average annual increase in the number
of insane patients for the last 10 years.
and the aggregate is, Of course. by far
the largest in the history Of New York.
There can be no doubt as to the
cause directly responsible for this abb
normal increase in the number OF per-
ons losing their minds in the busiest
state Of the union. Briefly put, the
principal is worry. Americans
FAST, with hurrying too much. with ems
dea2oring to do in a day the work OF
a week, and chatting IL the task they
set for themselves Is not accomplished

The same IL true of the New York
woman. Her household duties, when
she has any are taken at a mad pace.
Social obligations are hurdled with fly
ting leaps, and she shops al though
afraid that all the bargains would be
gone before shc got a chance at them.
Even the children are taught to make
haste In everything.
The result of such fast living is that

Unsuns.

As sweet as the breath that goes
From the lips Of the white rose,
As weird as the elm lights
That glimmer Of frosty nights.
As wild as the winds that tear
The curled red leaf in the air
Is the song I have never sung.
In slumber, a hundred times
I've said the enchanted rhymes,
But ere I open my eyes
This chose of a poem flies;
OF the interf1uent strains ia
Not even a note remains;
I know by my pulses beat
It was something wild and sweet,
AS my heart Is strangely stirred
By an aforementioned word.
I strive, but I strive In vain.
To recall the lost refrain.
On some miraculous day
Perhaps it will come and stay;
In some Hnimagined spring
I will find my voice, and sing
The song I have never sung.

End today to peer at the king and
queen In royal procession on their
way to the parliament. and while
all London was laughing at suffrag-
cite being borne by her flying ma

another part of London witnessed
what was one of the most pathetic
sights ever seen in the West End
streets.
The organizers of the demonstra-

together thousands of unemployed
women and girls and marched them
through the West End.
Obviously hungry. piitably clad In
ragged garments. many of them car

made a more painful appeal TO the
imagination of the onlookers than
any demonstration yet organized TO
show the distress of London's poor.

While there Is very little being
said or published these days about the
camp of Rosebud. yet there is consid-
cradle going on there at the present
time and there is the noticeable fact
that the lodges there are making
good with depth. c. w. Fisk was in
Winnemucca from Rosebud Wednes-
day and had this To say about the
camp to the Star:
There Is every evidence that some
of these days this district will be
among the most active in northern
Nevada. IL has been practically prov
EN- that the big dykes of porphyry
that traverse the country are the con-
tinuance of the great belt in which
the ores are found in the Seven
Troughs district, where the mines are
certainly making good
"On the Dreamland. which is being
operated under a lease by Messrs
Wilson, Rooklidge and Bullen of Salt
Lake. the vein is four feet wide in
the lower workings and If 1t holds
out there is every evidence that their
lease will make them all rich men.
The ore which is being taken out is
fairly alive with patches and small
nuggets of ruby silver. carrying ex-
cellent gold values as well. and will
run well up into the hundreds of dol
lars to the ton.
Other claims in the camp have
showings equally as good as the
Dreamland and in many places gold
predominates in the ore. II Is a
common sight to see beautiful speci-
mems of gold. ore.
Out toward the Sulphur mine, on
the Durango Girl property, leasers
are taking out and shipping ore that
looks like chunks OF beeswax, so
rich is 1t in horn silver"
All that Rosebud needs Is develop
ment work to make II q great pro-
Queer. The arrival OF the Western
Pacific railway, which will be only
a few miles from the camp. will
bring new life to Rosebud and upon
the completion OF this, road to that
point II will be no surprise to the
men that have stayed there through
