WALKED IN HIS SLEEP.

SATURDAY morning P. T. Hurley, his
son, Harry Hurley and Lincoln Fowl
er. went to Roosevelt via automobile.
They intended to put in several days
there. but did not, and il was all on
account of a young man who walked
in his sleep. The party went through
Mesa sunday night, between 10 and IL
O'Clock on their way back 10 Phoe-
nix.
The party slept in the open while
at Roosevelt. At least, they went 10
bed there, but did not sleep much.
Harry Hurley proved to be somnam-
bulist. though it is said that he mad
never previously exhibited strong
symptoms of it Sometime about mid
night he got up while still asleep and
walked over a twenty foot bluff near
ar hand. He woke up when he reach
ed the bottom of the cliff, but was not
at first sure whether he was in Ari-
IONA or heaven. The latter idea was
dispelled very quickly by the pain
which gripped him in various parts OF
his anatomy. He hung onto the edge
Of the rock where he landed and YELL
ed Justify for help. He was rescued
by his father. and an examination of
his person made. It was found that
both eyes were blacked, his hands
were cut and bruised, and there were
numerous other minor bruises. The
most serious hurt of all was a dislo-
Gated shoulder and il was feared that
a fracture had occurred. The injured
boy was taken to Phoenix as soon as
possible, but none of his injuries are
thought TO be serious.

SERVANTS WHO SMOKE.

Parlor maid wanted in small family.
Abstainer and non-smoker.' was the
somewhat startling advertisement
which appeared recently1fn a London
daily.
Nowadays il is quite necessary for a
mistress to inquire whether a maid IL
addicted to the cigarette craze for the
smoking habit has invaded the SER
wants hall. and kitchen maids, cooks
and upper house maids now openly
adopt the cigarette consuming GUS
toms of their smart set sisters.
The writer saw a well turned out
nurse the other day in Hyde Park
wheeling an expensive looking mail
cart containing an deliberately dressed
baby. The nurse was coquettishly
smoking a cigarette and attracting
considerable attention from the aston
ished passerby.
At several registry offices inquiries
show that ithe smoking habits OF the
domestic servants are a recognized
fact. In some families it is quite
customary for parlor maid. house
maid and cook to enjoy their cigar
cites in company below stairs.
That the working girl should take "a
smoking in imitation OF the lady Is by
no means surprising. SO many women
OF the highest social class nowadays
smoke in restaurants after meals. and
at all hours in hotel lounges. that the
| filtering down OF a taste for the weed
to more humble stratum of society
was only to be expected.
Like mistress. like maid" applies
to cigarettes as much as to clothes
and hats. and the LADY of the house
who consumes her ten to fifteen ciga-
rettes day can hardly. with logic
and CONSISTENCY. take her housemaid
to task for indulging in the imitation
which is said to be the sincerest form,
Of flattery. The fact that it is a for
hidden pleasure makes it the more al
Turing.
The maidservant takes a sample

THE BEST HE COULD DO.

The colonel had put up for the night
at a wretched hotel in village in the

Norway's independence Day.

The Grieg Singing Society OF this
city, always patriotic and progressive,
made arrangements for a proper cele-
braUion Of NOrway's new independ-
ence day-June 7, and had a splendid
time OF It Notwithstanding the rain
and mud, and the number Who at
tened was large considering the
weather.
The Griegs we're assisted in the cele-
bration by the Varde SangfOrening OF
Inwood and the Ulabrand Sangforen-
ing of Dayton township and all OF
Them are splendid singers.
At O'Clock a procession formed at
the Grieg headquarters and headed by
the Luther League band, under the
leadership of Prof. Indseth, marched
to the auditorium where the program
was successfully carried out.
The singers looked fine In their
white caps and were proud to take
tiOn and liberty Of the Fatherland.
The opening number was by the
Luther League band, then came the
address Of welcome by Mayor Gemmill
in behalf Of the city. He paid a high
compliment to the local patriots and
the sturdy sons of old Norway who in
love Of freedom severed the ties that
denied them genuine liberty and
home rule.
Hon. Charles 0. Knudson, President
of the Grieg society, responded to the
welcome. 1t was a brilliant effort
and a proud testimonial of the day
and the cause for which they met.
Rev. 0. A. Berge Of Inwood deliver
ed a very fine address full of patriot
ism, expressing pride in the events
that led up to the new era In Nor
ways life as a nation.
Hon. Fred II. Cuthbert also deliver
ed a patriotic address which was high
'ly appreciated by the audience be-
cause it expressed American senti-
ment and love for those sturdy liber-
ty loving people of the old Northland.
The baritone solo by P. A.. Serum
was very fine, and all the singing was
especially good and the visiting socie-
ties won high appreciation from all.
The GriegS never looked better nor
seemed happier. 1t was a splendid
celebration and the Griegs have ca
son to be proud Of the event. Ii the
weather had been favorable a great
crowd of people would have been pres
ent during the day.
In the evening a grand banquet was
given in Grieg Hall in honor OF the
visiting societies, guests and the band.
Speeches we're made by Rev. P. II.
Tetlie, Rev. O.. A. Berge of Inwood,
County Superintendent G. G.. Law
renee and President Knudson.
The entire celebration was a high
tribute to the patriotism and courage
of the men who made the seventh
day Of June historic in the history of
Europe, and much Of the grand sue
cess Is due to the tireless efforts of
Adolph Bragstad, secretary OF the
1Grieg Society.
