answer. Within u yenr thu si'mite
ilium- hun lost seven of Its members,
or nliout 7 per cent. Thu house has
Inst almost n tunny. What's thu most
disquieting nliout It, from 11 member's
point of view, Is that death hits taken
few of thi' oldest members, Its heaviest
toll being uiiiiiiik thotu of iiihhllu ago
and supposedly Ihu limit vigorous.
Is fust living responsible for fust
dying among congressmen? It iiinnot
hu. With turn exceptions, thu imtloiml

from personal observation, thut too rent miswer Is worry mid overwork. A
member of congress In nlw.iys n busy limn, If he voiKeleiitloiixly looks ufler
tlio business of Ills district, hut when n wnr eoinus along his work Is multiplied
mill iniigiillled. Tho Ktniln Is iileiislud nnd thu weight of cures often becomes
perilously oppressive.
Overmyer Is nil active nnd' rolmst nmn. Ilo Is still less tlinii forty yenrs
old nnd hns nothing tho uppeiirmicu of n corpse, hut ho Ims felt tho Inert using
stress of work nnd, being up to ditto, 1ms iiimlu un elllclency survey of Id own
tlmo for ono week. Tho result Is sut forth In tho following letter to n friend:
"I'or n nunilier of months I Imvu heon wondering wherti oil my tlmo
went, tlio tmys nlwnys being too short to ncconiplli.h whut hud to ho done. I
knuw 1 wns busy, but wondered If I wns not wasting lime somewhoru by luck
of system or somutlilng. Ho I determined to keep mi iiccount of my tlmo nnd
wlint I did from n certnln Monday morning to Hie following Knturduy night,
nnd at Ihu end of thu week found I hud put In 70 hours of work."
