MIND SIX MONTHS BLANK

Six months passed as single night,

miles across the sea; retiring in al
fluent circumstances, arising a beg
gar; passing into the death of each

turning to consciousness widower-
these are the strange experiences I'M
dergone by William 8. 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 corre-
spondent Of the Detroit News.
One night last June Smith dropped
to sleep in 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 sordid room, un-
like any he was accustomed to inhab-
it. He arose and lifted the curtain.
The country he looked on was unlike
anything he had seen 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.

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
beautiful arbor-vitae hedge which
separated his estate from Driscolls.
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
pleasure.
He would stand it no longer. One
Sunday morning Macdonald was en-
ragged at seeing his enemy clipping of
that part of the hedge which lay on
his stie of the fence. and he vowed
revenge.
Now 1t happened that Driscoll
warming to his work, had taken OH
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 OF
his side of the hedge and part on the
other. without word he carefully
cut off that part which lay on his
