however, she had lain down without
removing her clothing, and so attract
ed less attention. She sat in the sta
ton awhile, where her peculiar actions
were noted. but there was no suspicion
that she was asleep. Finally she went
to the ticket agents window and
bought a ticket for Cheyenne. Then
she left the tracks, divested herself of
most of her clothing and walked up the
track toward the approaching train.
Fortunately the engineer saw her in
time to stop before he reached her, al
though she was walking toward the
locomotive all the time.
Again she made her way down to
10th street early in the morning, when
there were heavy wagons passing up
the street, and calmly walked in front
of one of the largest that was going
west at a lively gait The driver saw
her and pulled up his horses. but she
would certainly have been badly in
jured had not policeman seen her just
in time and pulled her fairly from be-

Once she attempted to leave her
room, in the third story of her home,
via the window. She crept through the
window, having raised the lower sash,
and, grasping the sill with both hands,
swung herself out. AS fortune would
have 1t policeman happened to be
passing and saw what she had done.
He made his way into the house, rush
ed up the stairs, broke in the door of
her room, and seizing her by the wrists
pulled her back.
Another of her experiences was the
first and only time she gave an eXhi-
bition of dancing on the street. That
evening, to the amazement of several
children and two or three pedestrians
she began a series of movements very
like the double shuttle of negro min.
strel No officer CHANGED to be near
and no one interfered. On one of heI
trips, she apparently imagined herself
to be lineman, for she climbed tele
graph pole and had succeeded in max.

ing her way well toward the top be-
fore she was discovered. She was rest
ing near the top of the pole when a po-
licemen happened to see her. Here
was a quandary. If any one shouted
to her. she might awake and fall to the
ground. The officer could not climb
the pole. Finally ladder was procur-
ed from neighboring fire engine house
and placed against the pole. A stall
wart fireman mounted it and a mo-
.ment later had Miss Rossman in his
arms. She awakened almost instantly
and in terrible fright. She was taken
home and was prostrated by the shock
for several days.
Miss Rossman Is native of Paola
Kan. When she first began to walk in
her sleep, the attacks were not fre.
quent, and it was only after she be.
came a resident of Denver that her af-
Fiction grew upon her Physicians
who have studied Miss Rossman's case
say that her trouble is largely due TO
the sluggish condition of her blood.
During the time she is under the infiu.
ence of somnambulism her face is al.
most as pale and cold as that of per
son who is dead.

DEATH WHILE ASLEEP

has had was on the occasion of a trip
on which she started to North Denver.
She reached the bridge which crosses
Cherry Creek, but instead of crossing
the structure made her way down by
its side. and apparently was going to
walk through the water. 1t so hap
pened that the creek was not booming
to any great extent just then, and a
policeman happened to see her action
and rescued her from drowning. Even
the shock of the water did not fairly
waken her, and it was several mo-
ments after her rescue before she en-
tirely regained consciousness.
1t has always happened that when
ever Miss Rossman has left her room
and home at night on one Of these
sleepwalking trips she has never stop
ped to don any clothing besides the
nightgown and has been guiltless of
shoes or stockings. Just how she could
so often make her way about Denvers
streets in this costume unobserved is
n matter of almost as much mystery
as the real cause of the affiiction which
has rendered her miserable for eight
years.
One night she left her home about
midnight and wandered down 21st to
Curtis street. When in front of the
Curtis street hosehouse a cable car
came upon her unexpectedly, and she
was knocked down and to one side, en-
tirely escaping injury except few
slight bruises.
Once she walked from bcr home to
the Union railway station. This time.

PLAYIS' PoSSUM.

"Playin' possum" comes from the fact
that the possum will feign sleep or death
when pushed into sudden danger O. being
captured. But pains and aches never play
that kind of game. They never try to
fool anybody, and go to work to wake up
people. leaving no chance to feign sleep.
On the other hand, there is Il remedy
known rs st. Jacobs Oil that will lull Il
pain or an ache so that it won't wake up
again III the cure that follows its use Pains
and aches are great or less in intensity just
III degree as we treat them. Prompt treat
ment with the best remedy-St. Jacobs Oil
prevents their increase and by curing pre-
vents their return. Everything is gained by
taking pains and aches in time for prompt
and permanent cure, and there is nothing
better than the use of st. Jacobs Oil.

n n ISIS ANNIE ROSSMAN is be-
MI ing treated at the Arapahoe
u - County Hospital in Denver af-
ter having broken the record in SOM
nambulism. During her excursions
while asleep she has been rescued from
injury or death by the police more
than $50 times. Bolts. bars, handouts
and chains have all failed to keep her
within her room, and clad in a night
gown she has roamed the streets of
Denver night after night.
Everything possible was done to cure
the young woman, but to no purpose
until she was placed in the hospital.
There she has been watched by an
attendant, and cold water has been
thrown in her face every time she has
sought to leave her bed or escape. This
plan seems to be proving etficacious,
and for the present at least her Sleep
walking career has been closed.
Many methods have been unsuccess-
fully adopted to restrain her from her
nocturnal excursions. The windows of
her room have been locked and the key
to the door hidden. but to no purpose.
At other times she has been tied in her
bed. In releasing herself she has ex-
hibited the skill of the conjurer, for no
knot could be tied that she was unable
to loosen. Handouts have been at
tached to her wrists and then chained
to the bed, but her hands slipped
through the rings in her sleep in a
fashion that she could not explain
when she awoke. At another time the
key to her room was placed at the bot
tom of barrel of water, but she Sc
cured the key, and the contact with the
chilled fluid did not awaken her.
About the only instance when she
distinctly remembered having a pur-
pose in view was the time when she
was found seated on letter box with
her arm around the lampost, when she
declared she had believed herself to be
seated on rail at the theater with her
arm about one of the supporting pill
lars.
