LOST HIS MEMORY.

For Three Months Eaken Wandered From
Home, Having Forgotten His Identity.
Joseph Eaken, laster employed in
one Of the shoe factories Of Portsmouth,
O., started back for his home, in Lynn,
Mass. Eaken went there about three
months ago and applied for work. He
was given job and soon proved himself
an expert workman. He was very modest
and reticent, and there was always an air
of abstraction about him that puzzled
those who worked with him. One day re-
Gently he suddenly threw down his tools,
exclaimed:
my God, remember at last!"
Work was suspended for time until
the strange story was told by the man.
He said that for over three months up to
that moment he was unable to remember
q thing about his past life. He had an
indistinct recollection of travelling on q
train and of finally landing in some large
city, which he afterward found was Gin
cjnnati. He wandered aimlessly about
the city for time and finally came across
one Of the shoe factories.
Something about it struck him as famil-
lar, and 1t occurred to him that making
shoes was his trade. He went to the Office
and applied for a job, but they were full.
He asked II there were any towns near
where shoes were made and was directed
TO Portsmouth. Having no money, he
waited until noon and got enough money
from the employees to pay his fare.
He got work, and night and day he has
been chasing the delusive shadow Of the
past. Time and again he would seem to
grasp 1t, and then it would fade. 1t came
back to him like flash, and he remem-
pered all save what happened to him the
last night in Lynn and how he got to Gin.
