many Of them young women OF promi-

A large open car soon approached.
but the car-starter motioned to the mo-
torman TO go by without stopping. Dr..
Wiley and others protested A few
minutes later two linked cars came up
and they too were sent by without stop
ping. Thereupon Mr.. Thayer and 9th
ers entered a vehement protest to the
employe, who laughed in their faces,
and said he would like 10 see wha
they could do about it." They said they
would appeal to the local newspaper TO
look out for their interests, Whereupon
the man sneeringly replied that If they
could get any satisfaction out of that
they were welcome to 1t.
The cars stopped for passengers fur
ther down the street.
After the disRusted crowd had waited
a little longer, about five minutes in
all, the next car was permitted 10 stop.
IT ran to the end of the street, whcre
the conductor Immediately collected the
fares and then kept everyone waiting
five minutes longer until his Starting
time came. All the people on the cars
were exasperated beyond measure by
the experience. but most of all by the
offensive attitude of the starter.

A Very Large Mine,

There was once in Cripple Creek an
odd character named Burns. He was
on odd ranrsnr, ---'---'------ rrnr"
ter what his work, wore what used TO
be called Prince Albert" He struck
a rich vein Of ore and named that the
Prince Albert. Being OF a generous
and convivial disposition, this lucky
fellow was, of course, surrounded by
many self seeking friends. When he
and they were In their cups some OF
them, with an eye TO the main chance,
managed to wheedle out Of Burns on
one preteXt or another deed Of a
share in his mine. With royal prodi-
gality he scattered deeds about among
his retainers and camp followers un-
til finally something had to be done,
and the case was taken into court.
One of the lawyers had Burns on the
stand. "Now, Mr.. Burns" said the
lawyer, will you please tell the court
how you can explain your cOnductI
The evidence shows that you have
decided away twenty-nine twenty
fourths of your mine. What have you
to say to that?" We'll, SIR" replied
the witness, you must remember, sir,
that the Prince Albert Is a very large
mine"

TWENTY YEARS. SLEEP.
Rip Van Wrinkles Case May Have
Been More Fact Than Fiction.

Rip Van Wrinkles Case May Have
Been More Fact Than Fiction.
Even superficial students Of folklore
know that the tale of Rip Van Wrinkle,
supposing that Irving really heard it in
the old Dutch settlements along the
Hudson, IS by no means peculiar TO
that district, but Is found in some form
or other all over the world. In other
words, the idea that it is possible for a
human being to survive in a state of
unconsciouSness for a very long time
would seem to be either a universal
fancy or to be founded on some actual
experience.
DR.. Lancereaux in the Paris Bulletin
of the Academy Of Medicine reports
such an experience, the case Of wo-
man who actually did, so far as intelli-
gent consciousness was concerned,
sleep almost exactly twenty years.
The patient, of a neurotic and hyster-
ical family. had always been delicate
and nervous ON May 81, 1888, she
was severely frightened and fell into
violent hysteria, which after twenty
four hours passed into unconsclo:s-
ness. In this condition, interrupted ev-
cry month or six weeks by sudden CON
vulsiye attacks, she lay until May %,
1903, kept alive entirely by injections
of nourishment.
On May % she was seized with hys-
terra similar to that at the beginning
of her sleep, and the next day there
was another convulsion. On May %
she began definitely to recover con-
sciOusnesS and by the next day was
able to speak intelligently Of events
before her sleep and could also remem-
Der from day to day since her waking.
OF happenings during her sleep, such
as the drawing of some of her teeth,
she knew nothing. On the evening Of
May % she died peacefully.
The particular case is of interest
chiefly to the medical profession, but
the general fact of survival in uncOn-
sciouSneSs for very long time shows
how such tales as those of the Sleeping
Beauty. the Seven Sleepers of EpheSus
and Rip Van Wrinkle, to mention only
the most familiar examples, could have
originated from actual experience and
observation Very likely such cases oc-
Cured more than once.
Truth is stranger than iction," runs
the old saying. 1t IS undoubtedly more
correct to say that fiction is merely en-
larged reduced, distorted and other
wise decorated fact and that without
fact within general knowledge from
which to start fiction could not exist.
1t is entirely safe to conjecture that at
some prehistoric reriod, sleeping not
out of doors Of course. but under shell

months, if not years, there was a Rip
