The old saying that fact Is
stranger than fiction was veri-
fed by & romantic happening at
Leland last hight. Thirty-o1e
years ago George Ward lived
with his wife and children, one
boy and one girl, in Douiphan
county, Kansas There appears
to have been some cstTauge
meut between Ward and his
wife, who separated. Soon after
wards the boy James was stolen
away from his mother. The
child was but three years Ofage,
and was brought up 10 believe
his mother dead, while his sis
ter's Whereabouts were careful
~ kept from him. James Ward
appears to have lived with his
father, who sternly refused him
all information as to his family
In the meantime the mother and
daughter we're wholly unable TO
trace either father or sOr.
Ward, senior, died ten years
ago Mrs. ward married again
and is now Mrs. Louisa j. Rise
~, wife of a prosperous transfer
agent at Saginaw, Nieh, while
her daughter has become Mrs
Sarah Buckwheat Of the same
place. Neither mother nor
daughter gave up hope of find
Jag the lost son aud brother.
Lately Grs. Riseiy took to writ
ing different Postmasters, eager
~ asking if such a mar as Jas
Is Ward lived In their vicinity.
Among these written to by her
vas the Postmaster OF GreenhIll,
Indiana This official happened
to notice on the corner of an
enyelop addressed to local
merchant, the words, Return

somnambulism. When she puts her
pretty head on the pillow at night she
does not know what may befall her
before she awakes in the morning, and
she worries a great deal over this
strange affliction. Her people watch
heras closely as possible, butshe objects
to any regular espionage during her
sleeping hours. One night not long
ago she went to bed at the usual hour.

slept in an adjoining room, awoke and

The author of 1.-The Cruise of the
Falcon" had a chance to study the eff
feet of high waves, or rollers. 1t was
on the shores of the island of Trini-
dad, which lies off the coast of Brazil
about six hundred miles. The island
beaches are covered with wreckage
which has been carried there by winds
and currents.
What struck me as remarkable was
that some of this w~reckage had been
cast up n great distance above what ]
judged to be the high water mark.
Ear up, jammed between two rocks,
l perceived a huge iron beam that
must have weighed many tons.
The explanation probably is that
Trinidad, like several other low lying
south Atlantic islands, notably st.
Helena and Fernando Noronha, is
subject TO that terrible phenomenon
known as the rollers. Those who
have witnessed this describe how on q
fine, clear day, when the winds are
still and the ocean smooth, of a sud
den the waters in the ofhng are OBJ
served TO become disturbed; billow
after billow advances to the shore,
gradually increasing in magnitude,
until at last the waters are piled UP in
mountains far higher than the hugest
storm waves, that rush on to shore
with fearful im~petuosity, driving from
their anchors any vessels they may
encounter, and hurting them far up
on the land, beyond the reach of the
highest spring tides.
Distant hurricanes and submarine
volcanic acton are both suggested as
the causes of this phenomenon
