Six months passed as a single night,
dropping to sleep in California, awak-
ening in a foreign land, thousands of
miles across the sea; retiring in af-
fluent circumstances, arising a beg
gar; passing into the death of each
days life a happy married man, re-
turning to consciousness a widower-
these are the strange experiences I'M
dergone by William S. Smith, special
organizer of the American Federation
of Labor in California, who has just
arrived in this city on the liner ST.
IBERIA, says the San Francisco CORE
spondent of the Detroit News.
One night last June Smith dropped
to sleep in a railway car on the "owl
train" en- route from Los Angeles to
San Francisco. The next morning, as
he thought. he awoke in a strange
room. Rubbing his eyes, he gazed
about him. 1t was a sordid room, I'M
like any he was accustomed to inhab-
it. He arose and lifted the curtain.
The country he looked on was unlike
anything he had seer in California.
Descending the stairs he found him
self among people as unfamiliar as
his surroundings. They talked Eng
lish, but with a foreign accent.

ply, but you ask idiotic questions
This is December. Would o like
to have it ~altered?"
Half a year had elapsed since Smith
closed his eyes in the California train.
In that time he had crossed half the
globe. When he told his story his
audience was convinced of his insani-
ty. When he asked them for money
to travel to the coast, he got laughter
for his pains. So he tramped to sgd
ney.
In the capital he looked up the la
Dor council and narrated his expert
ence to union men. They investigated
and found he was what he represented
himself to be. They arranged for his
return to America, securing a passage
for him on the Siberia.
The first letter Smith received from
his home at Los Angeles contained
news of the death of his wife.

Both Hedge and Coat Were Attended

Pat Macdonald and Jack Driscoll of
Concord had for years been bitter enc
mics. The former took great pride in
a beautiful arbor-vitae hedge which
separated his estate from Driscoll's.
In the fall this hedge, which extended
a foot or two over Driscoll's boundary
line, would wither and wisps of pine
would be scattered about the latter's
yard by the wind, much to his dis

He would stand it no longer. One
Sunday morning Macdonald was en-

that part of the hedge which lay on
his siie of the fence, and he vowed
revenge.
Now It happened that Driscoll,
warming to his work, had taken off
his coat (his Sunday best) and thrown
it upon the hedge. Seeing this, Mac
Donald took his wife's scissors and
rushed to where the coat lay, part on
his side of the hedge and part on the
