FAMOUS GASES OF
 SENSATION HL SLIPPERS

~ LEEPLESSNESS is one of the
 curses of our civilization, and as
 the doctors aver, 1t is one of the N/ penalties which we pay for the
 rush and tumult in which we live. In spite of this however, every now and then cases are brought to light of people who defy the prevailing sleep lessness, and Indulge In maps which are not to be reckoned by hours or days. but even by weeks and months, and in rarer cases by years.
 Unquestionably the most remarkable case of modern times is one which ex- actly reproduces. and even outdoes, the legend of Rip Van Wrinkle, who slept for twenty years, for this indi- vidual has been asleep for close on three-and- d-twenty years. He is Ger man by birth, named Herman Harms. who has been ving for thirty odd years near the city of St. Charles, in the State of Minnesota. On his arrival in the west of America he took farm and began working on 1t.
 One day when he came home from the fields. feeling perfectly well. he fell asleep after having had his supper Next morning he evinced no disposition to get up and since then he has scarce ly ever awakened of his own accord, and has practically never once got out of his bed. He used to be reused about once a day to be fed, but as soon as little milk was poured down his throat he would fall off to sleep again and

the remaining freight.
 Any one in Dawson who did not have a years provisions was given free pass age on the boat back to St. Michael Half way down the machinery got out of order and the captain stopped for repairs The men on board feared that through this delay they would not get down before the river froZe over. They ordered the Father of the Yukon" to proceed without repairing the damages. Captain Dixon knew this was fool hardy and refused. For the third time on this eventful trip a stout piece of rope was used as an argument. The captain again refused to dangle on it. The miners persisted. The captain re- mained obdurate. Finally the miners yielded to him, turned to, helped repair the broken machinery, and St. Michael was reached in safety.
 It was thus that Captain Dixon earn ed and proved his right to the title of Father of the Yukon"
 Miss Dixon first acquired hers Daughter of the Yukon"-simply be- cause she was Captain Dixons daugh- ter. Now she has fully demonstrated by her pluck and courage that she is worthy of the title. By right of her own deeds she is the Daughter of the Yukon"
 From the day landed in St Mich dcl, says MISS DlAOIl, COu Illt Ol d LII J was in one constant state of excite ment. Adventures, for which Il had longed all my life, came so thick and fast that 1 am now just beginning to realize how much peril and enjoyment was crowded into my short stay in Alaska.
 Do I really enjoy peril? Yes, really I do-after it's all over. The first thing I did when landed in St. Michael was to spread the Red Cross fever. They knew of the war, but we brought the first details of what was going on. The fever spread like wildfire. The miners immediately gave an entertainment and enrolled several hundred members It made quite little nest egg for the Red Cross.
 We stayed in St. Michael only long enough for papa to come down from Dawson with the steamboat Bella. As soon as he landed he was exchanged to the Louise, the first modern steamboat to ply the Yukon.
 we left St Michael on the 18th o1 July and started up the Yukon fol Dawson. We stopped at the various missions on the way up, and while found the Mission Indian an improve ment on the Indian in his native state I was thoroughly disgusted with then all. Afterward I learned to be gratefu to two Alaskan Indians. For one toit us of the new gold discoveries and th' other saved our lives. :,
 "When we were about 130 miles iron Circle City an Indian boarded our boat From his jargon my father made ou that some rich discoveries had peer made on a creek five miles further up

 Altogether I have been away from San Francisco just five months. Most people have to stay in that country several years to accomplish anything. I succeeded so well because, as my fathers daughter, every one tried to help me. Had it not been for the In- dians whom my father had befriended I might have an entirely different tale to tell"

softening of the brain, a fourth the use of too much quinine, and so the list goes on; but other people have these complaints, either alone or all together, yet they are no more prone to sleep than the rest of the world; so these ex- plantations can hardly be the reason of his extraordinary condition, and 1t must be sought elsewhere.
 which approached, but can hardly be said to have rivaled, this inordinate sleep was that of young woman who slumbered away fourteen years of her life. When she was twelve years old she had an attack of fever and fell asleep, and asleep she practically re- mained for the next fourteen years, when she fell into that longer sleep which knows no waking. For some months after she had what Bottom in the Midsummer Nights Dream" calls "an exposition of sleep" upon her, she would awake for a few minutes once or twice day, and advantage was always taken of that opportunity to feed her, but her spells of wakefulness only lasted very few months. Gradually her sleep got more and more heavy, until at last 1t became a condition al- most bordering on coma.
 Sleepfulness at the other extreme of life is found authenticated In the case of an old woman named Elizabeth Per kins She lived in Norfolk, and the greater part of her life toward its end was spent in sleep, although she woke up with remarkable regularity on one day in every week.

tionship.
 The Father of the Yukon" proved his right to the title by pleading a pre- vious engagement when the miners at Rampant City invited him to necktie party. The captain politely but firmly refused their invitation. His freight was intended for the starving miners at Dawson. The men in Rampant City had no pressing need for the provisions. Captain Dixon finally succeeded in con- vincing them of that fact, and the moose of rope especially prepared for

 At Circle City the miners demanded a share of his freight. They did not couch their request in ordinary lan- guage. It swung from the end of rope. The captain was again given his choice between parting with some of the pro- visions or occupying the place of honor on the rope. Since they were really in need of provisions he met their de- mands.

HR PARTY THREATENED
nch Feeling Over the Case OF
e Old Mrs. Radis.
LHE CRUELTY OF HER SON
E Tried to Make b County support
Her and Said He Would Accom-
plish This Purpose in One Way
or Another.

Great Falls, Oct. 23.-This afternoon
the police received q call from the
American brewery stating that a crazy
woman had been found wandering over
the prairie and had been taken to a
shack In the neighborhood and was be-
ing taken care of until the officers could
come after her. As hat territory lie
outside of the jurisdiction of the city
police, the case was turned over to
Constable Allison. who took q hack and
went after the m She was
brought to the county Jail. where she
II now lodged for the night. She is
old Mrs. Raids.
Some months ago there was told In
these columns the story of the attempt
made by this poor creatures son and
daughter-in-law to induc the county
ofncials TO send her to the poor house.
Julius Raids, the son. is an a~ble-bodied
man, amply able to look after his motn-
err, but he at that time was evidently
anxious to be rid of her and even went
so far ~ to try to leave her IN the
sheriff'e Office, until that official threat
ened to make 1t very unpleasant Tor
Raids II he did not take her away.
Raids took her home, but declared that
sooner OF later he Noulu iOtNt nv
ty to provide for her. A few days
later the poor old woman. whose mind
is weak, was found wandering on the
railway track and ran a very close car
to being killed by the yard engine. he-
marks were frequent about the mat
ter from those who knew of the facts
In the case, and IL was said that Raids
was evidently trying to carry out his
threat in a desperate manner that
sooner or later he would find some
means to relieve himself of the care
of his mother.
To-day's incident seems to strengthen
the predictions already made. The wo-
man was apparently allowed TO wan
der out into this bitter weather without
any attempt on the part of the mem
beers of the family to restrain her OF
even to observe whittier she might &c.
Up to a late hour this evening none OF
them have made any inquiries at the
fail. The law in the case unfortunately
after declaring hat children shall pro
vide for their aged and helpless par
ents. stops short and provides no pun
shmen for their failure so to do
Among those who have learned of this
afternoons performance. feeling ha'
found many bitter expressions and 4
has even been suggested that In tn
absence OF any statutory provision. 8

sion of the legislature. The matter vii

creature out onto the prairie this after
