PEOPLE WHO SLEEP DAYS
They Have a Terrible Time and De.
 serve Much Sympathy.

certain extent. Other folks nights are their days. arfd of consequent necessity they are compelled to seek sleep ana rest while the greater part of the world is busy and noisy.
 There are hundreds of people In Phoe- nix who do rot think of wrapping the drapery of their couch about them ana lying down to pleasant dreams until ar ter they have seen the sun rise. As 10 the pleasant dreams. they are pre'- lty much of dream in themselves, Tor few men, in spite of what some of them may say, can sleep as soundly in the day time as otheir people do at night. The man who insists that he can prop ably has not tried 1t in the summer time.
 Perhaps if there were no such things as babies and ccal wagons and peddlers and neighbors and carpet beaters and hired girls and church bells and tele- phones. there would be some excuse for such a boast, but with conditions as they are the man who talks about sleeping as soundly in the day time as he would Nike to is quite likely to have stumbled off the narrow path of truth and accuracy in expreSsion
 Distinctions are to be made in day sleepers. Some are less unfortunate than others. The lass unfortunate are those who can get to bed and asleep be- fore dawn. These get a good start be- fore the sun comes up and the world awakss and have had chance to drink fairly deep of natures sweet restorer before the disturbing elements have a chance to get in their work The great struggle must be undergone by the man who Is called upon to woo sluinber while the sun is shining through his curtains and the hired girl Is talking over the back fence about big washlngs. This man has more than once pondered whether life is worth living and prob- ably In desperate moments has con s.lered ehe advisablllty of taking an anesthetic that would do perpetual duty.
 The gambler who leaves his table al 4 o'clock in the moaning manages tc get in fair line of slumbeT before things get very noisy. The newspaper man whN goss home at 3 o'clock also does not have as terrible a time of II as he might have. The printers eff they don't hang around after the machines have quit to indulge in q little back capping session., can get home at q reasonably early hour. Many of the hackmen, tired of waiting for fare also turn in while conditions are vel suitable for a good sleep.
 But the policeman has to hold on tc his beat until 6 o'clock in the morning The restaurant walters and cosks arc on duty until the same hour Railroad men have very irregular hours. Members of train crews have to be ready 10 be awakened at aimos' any time of the day or night. One O fthe delights of sleeping in tn, ' day time Is to be aroused by the land 1 lady inquiring of her neig'hbor acros: | the way if she has read in the mornins paper that hot baths are good for th' | grip.
 The woman in the other yard hadn' noticed that and replies that she vii ] ree)mmend the treatment to her hus band, who hadn't felt well enough tha morning to go down town

 AN,ng about this time the cucko cl .,ck down stair announces that It i
 II o'clock. Just as he Is dropping of
 into a troubled doze the telephone ring
 and the hired girl, q foreigner, endeav
 ors to answer it. with more or less sue cess and in loud tone of voice. Uh
 sleeper says something mean about tel
 ephones or hired girls, or somethin
 else.
 This sleeping in the day time IS s
 economical. One never has to go to tn
 expense of buying an alarm clock
 There are more human alarm clocks i an average neighborhooj than cloc factory could turn out in year-o perhaps it only seems that way.
 You may think sleeping in the da | time in the winter is no sLap." said a odd timer the other day to beginnel but If you really want to run u
 against the real thing. try and liv through it until another summer roll around"
 It's in the summer time man mus have his windows up or smother. an it's in the summer time the doors a; all open It's in the slsmmer the bird are singing all day long. It's in tn
