The Curious Case of May White, the
Michigan School Teacher.
III


Michigan School Teacher.
Especial to THE WoRLD1
STOCKBRIDGE, MICH. December IL
May White, the young school teacher
who was injured by fall in Ypsilanti,
and who has slept almost all the time
for the last eighteen days, seems to be
slowly recovering. When sleeping she
still remains perfectly rigid, but when
awake she possesses full mental powers,
converses with friends and reads. Ten
daysago she weighed only fifty pounds,
which was a loss of seventy pounds.
Now she weighs fifty-four pounds, and
the doctors believe that she will con
tinue to gain in weight, although they
are not fully convinced that they can
save her. They can now awaken her
in twenty minutes, and do so three
times day. When they first awoke
her about six months ago she had slept
twenty-six hours consecutively, and it
required five hours hard work. Dur
ing the last week she has been awake
eight hours at time, and in the last
two days she does not yield so readily
to the intense drowsiness, her sleep has
not been so deep, and the task of awak
ening her has been easier. The doctors
feel encouraged. They give her the
ordinary diet three times day. 1t is
said that the weather affects her, and
that coming storms can be foretold by
those who have watched her symptoms
and conditions.

No Time to Lose.

Eddy lived with his grandfather, and
was accustomed to hear blessing asked
at each meal. One day the hungry little
boy was very impatient for his dinner, and
as his grandfather was detained for mo-
ment from taking his seat at the table, the
little fellow felt that the duty of the bless
ing fell upon him; so he bowed his head
low over his plate and said the little prayer
he always repeated at night. His grand
father entered the room just as he had
finished, and Eddy, fearing still further
delay in serving the meal, shouted: "Oh,

He Was Certain.

1t hardly seems probable such a thing
could happen in the present day, but it's
claimed for the local court of Hungarian
town bordering on Austria proper that it
holds in its judicial records the decisions
of the following cases:
A farmer who was both sportsman and
a breeder of funcy varieties of chickens
was once robbed of a very valuable rooster.
Investigation was set afoot and Il fellow
townsman found to be in possession of the
missing bird. Demand for it's return fol-
lowed upon this discovery, but the alleged
puroiner refused it's surrender. An APP
plication to the authorities followed.
Brought into court the plaintiff produced
witnesses to prove his property. Among
others who testified was a somewhat thick
headed and not too veracious farm hand.
.''You say you are sure the rooster be-
longs to the PLAINTIFF" asked the Judge
II am sure of it. / have known the
chicken, your honor, ever since it was a
little pullet SO high"
Finally it was adjudged to the plaintiff.
The loser went away storming and, be-
meath his breath, threatening revenge.
Some time after the sportsman farmer
had one of his guns stolen. 1t was only OF
ordinary make and he could very easily be
deceived, but he thought he saw it in the
hands of his former contestant. However,
to make sure, he again cited him before the
tribunal and swore to the best of his
knowledge and belief that the gun in ques-
ton was his.
Several others testified to the same effect,
among them the farm hand. His direct
manner of stating the weapon to be the
plaintiffs nettled the defendants lawyer,
and he inquired
"What makes you so certain it belongs
to himf"
"What makes me certain? Why, knew
that gun when it was only little pistol SO
long. ''-Philadelphia Times.
