SLEEPS STANDING UP.
An Old Man Whose Disease Bat.
fes the Doctors.
II He Should Go to Sleep Like Other Nor
tails the Terrible Pain In His
Stomach Would Produce Sud-
den Death.

This is the story of man who can
sleep only in standing position. His
name is Theodo Won Elfrich, and life
has become such burden to him that
his death will be positive relief.
One morning few weeks ago Won
Elfrich walked into the business Office
of Philadelphia newspaper and took
a position beside the radiator. The
clerks thought he was a new recruit in
the already overlooking ranks of gray
haired men who try to make a few
coppers selling papers. But he was Of
another sort. His object was to find .
warm place where he might sleep in
the only attitude possible to him-an
erect position. Now he comes there
every day and remains until the janitor
requests him to leave in the evening.
AS he sleeps he keeps half-smoked
cigar in his mouth, and leans his elbow
on the radiator. Sometimes he makes
a pillow of his arms and rests his head
on them. Occasionally he slips to the
floor. and awakens with shock. Then
a look Of terror may be observed on his
face.
One day the janitor asked him why
he stood there all day, asleep.
because it's warm" replied Won Ell
frich. He said his home was broken
up, and that his children would no
longer take care of him.
Il was once healthy and strong" he
went on, but dissipation has made

II am afraid to lie down and sleep,
for I feel that il l do it will be the
sleep Of death. At night l walk the
streets, no matter how disagreeahle
the weather. All the sleep l get IS
while standing up by this radiator. 1t
is warm here, and the newsboys are
used to seeing mo around and don't
wake me any more. as they did at first.
''As long as / can get rest standing
up, am all right. The minute fall
into reclining position it wakes mo
up, and SO manage to sleep sound
My only solace Is holding u cigar in
my mouth It seems to afford me
more relief and pleasure than anything
else"
Then the old man dozed OF again.
It was noticeable that while he talked
he had to pause frequently to groan,
such was the agony caused by the
never-ceasing pain In his stomach.
Won Elfrich is being treated at tho
jefferson hospital in Philadelphia, but
the doctors have no hope Of his re-
cOyery.

A shoemaker, Kavol Kowates, who
in 1928 lived ut Pesth, the capital Of
Hungary, smoked the dTst meer-
schaum pipe. Besides being q shoe
maker. however. he was one Of Ma
lures bandicraftsmen, being gifted
with an intuitive genius for carving in
wood and other material This
brought him in contact with Count
Andrassy, with whom he became .
great favorite. The count, on his re-
turn from mission to Turkey,
brought with him piece Of whitish
clay, which had been presented to HIM
as a curiosity on account of its ex-
traordinary light specific gravity. 1t
struck the shoemaker that, being por-
Gus, it must be well adapted for pipes,
as it would absorb the nicotine. The
experiment was tried and Kavol cut a
pipe for the count and one for himself.
This first meerschaum pipe, made and
smoked by Kavol Kowates, has been
preserved in the museum at Pcsth.

nearly midnight and most of the stray

Grouped around the secretary, oil

''Mr. Secretary" he said, I'VE have
just received press dispatch from
Boston that Quincy has resigned and I
want to find out if it is true."
Now, to appreciate this story, the
reader must understand that Gresham
didn't like Quincy He did not favor
the slaughter Of consuls to make q
Roman holiday to begin with and he
was powerless to prevent It while
Quincy remained assistant secretary of
state. Neither did he like Quincy per-
sonally. Mr.. Gresham Ii essentially a
companionable man and Mr.. Quincy is
essentially the reverse. Each knew
from the moment Of their first meeting
that they could not get along we'll to-
gether and neither took the trouble 70
mako the attempt.

said the judge with grunt
THAT is what the dispatch says"
"Well I don't believe it. Quincy IL
not one Of the resigning kind. A man
who has as sharp an eye for Offices as
he has isn't to let 60 Of the one he
holds himself"
Then can say you know nothing
of ito"
Eyes, that's what you can say and
you can say don't believe it either, If
you want to. It's too good to be true"

INDUCING INDIANS TO MARRY.
The Indian Commissioner's Scheme for
Perpetusting tho Indian Race.

The Indian Commissioners Scheme for
Perpetusting tho Indian Race.
The commissioner Of Indian affairs,
Dir. Browning, is determined to prove
to the Indians that marriage is not a
failure. He has discovered that most
Of the red men under the bureau at the
present time have been induced to
believe that it is not the proper thing
to get married, and for this reason, in
the mind of the commissioner, the
numbers of the red men are decreasing
fast. It is not certain but that the
commissioner, in the interest of pre-
serving his bureau, was forced to give
some study and attention to the matter
Of matchmaking among the people.
The commissioner has labored over
this matter very induStriously, and. &C
cording to the Kansas City Journ al. he
has evolved scheme He proposes to
prove TO them that they can get in ia
vor with the great father if they will
join in the holy bonds Of matrimony.
The scheme is novel one, and it is
the opinion of the commissioner that
very soon the leading duties of the

ing agent for his colony. The reward
for getting married is a striking mar
riage certificate. 1t starts with a
heavy sheet Of paper with a red Dor
der. Much is expected of this red bor-
der. Then the United States of
America" is in blue, while the "Our
Glorious Eagle" has not the savage
look, but sort of wedding day smile,
and the ''E pluribus unum'' and tho
American flag are displayed with an
intensity that would be cheap at any
price. The eagle prcsides over a mar
riage certificate In the usual form. The
agents are to be instructed to make an
exhibit Of the scheme, and to use their
influence in getting the Indians to
come to the conclusion that they will
be out of luck if they refuse to get mar
rie6. The agents are to show the
certificates, which have been prepared
with the hope that they would have
the catchy" appearance, and to pos
sess one would be the ambition of the
average Indian. and this would last
him until after the ceremony was per-
formed. BY the fash of the certificate
it is hoped to prove that marriage is

interesting letter from that undeniably
interesting place. Mr. Bennett is the
only American whom Europe knows.
He has lived SO long abroad and given
SO many delightful evidences of his
eccentricities at every resort on the
continent that his name is nearly as
familiar as Gladstone or Churchill He
il universally regarded as the most
perfect type of the rich and liberal
American.
1t is only fitting, therefore, that he
should show his appreciation of the at.
tentions showered upon him in some
way peculiarly his own. Some times
he does this by merely verifyingf =
well-earned reputation for very iav-
,ish and somewhat careless use OF
money. This, as l happen to know,
for l was there at the time, was his
method when he was In Monte Carlo
Last winter. He knew, of course, for il
was apparent even to a casual visitor,
that he was more conspicuous figure
than anyone of the many dukes, OF
princes, who were there. He knew,
also, that ones greatness in Monte
Carlo is measured by the size of his
bets. Mr.. Bennett has not now, and
never had, any passion for the gam
bling table, but he does like to main.
tain his fame and popularity. So he
bet freely, fully expecting and perfect
~ willing to lose few thousand dol
lars for the satisfaction of the commu-
nifty. But the perverse fates ruled
otherwise and the more recklessly he
bet the more surelyhe won. When the
time came for closing he was twenty
four thousand francs ahead Of the
game.
This result was SO contrary to his ex-
pectation that he delayed his depar-
ture for day to give the bank an
other chance. But the lucky star pur-
sued him even more persistently on
the second night than on the first. He

TOoPYRIGHT, 1924
During the long extra session Of
congress, when silver alone filed the
minds of statesmen, the only member
of the cabinet who cut much of a fig
ure in the eyes of tho public was Sec
rotary Carlisle. But when he had
been disposed of, for time at any
rate, and Hawaii became the theme Of
discussion. Secretary Gresham came to
the front, and he is still there. Al
though he really played . very impor-
tant part in the great silver contest,
the fact was not generally known and
his letter to the president recommend
ing tho restoration of the amiable
queen signalized his first real appear
ance upon the stage of action Mean
while 1.-The judge" as he is Familiarity
called in Washington, had been at
tending strictly to business and stor-
ing away ammunition for the battle
which he know was inevitable.
The first thing Judge Gresham did
when he arrived in Washington was to
abolish all ceremony. He Mortified the
by directing that the door
into his room from the corridor b left
open and the passage kept clear so
that anybody who wanted to see him
could walk right IN as they do out
west. He esta blished himself in at a
big desk in the middle Of the room in
plain view from the corridor, and any
casual visitor who felt inclined to drop
in and say how-dye-do to the first
member of the cabinet had no diff
Guilty in gratifying his wish. Since
the weather has become colder the
door has been kept closed. but in all
other respects entrance to tho secre-
tary's room Is obtained as easily az
ever. Nor is he ever put ont by callers
at his rooms in the Arlington. During
the hot summer months, when at
neither Of these two places, the score
tary could usually be found seated on
a bench in Lafayette square smoking
cigar, studying the finest collection
OF trees in America. listening to the
birds and talking to anybody who hap
pened to come along.
One night shortly after the first ex.
ira session convened, while the wives
and daughters were still at the summer
resorts and the men were obliged to
congregate by themselves and get such
amusement as they could, the judge
was seated in big leather chair in

was even more astonished than the
owners Of the hundred hungry eyes
that had been watching him and really
wanted to give the bank still another
chance, but, having demonstrated his
willingness while among Romans to
do as the Romans do, he did not feel
justified in delaying his departure
longer.
It was evident. however, that he was
not altogether dissatisfied with his ex-
perience because the letter which in
variably appears in both the Paris
and New York Heralds from any place,
however small, soon after Mr.. Bennett
visits it, referred most pleasantly to
the attractions OF the Casino.
