NEVER SLEEPS,
EATS RAW DOC
AND IS HEALTHY

Erie. Pa, July 15.-'I have not slept In
Is years." was the statement made by Joe
Root. the hermit of Presque Isle penin-
sula, yesterday. For years Mr.. Root.
who is known from one end to the other
of Erie county. has been celebrated as
the man who never sleeps. His home is
on Presque Isle peninsula, and no resi-
dent OF this vicinity can remember OF
having known Root to close his eyes in
a sound sleep. 1t is true that the man
will pass into semi conscious condition
for few minutes, but IL does not last
more than ten minutes at the most. and
then he will be as wide awake as ever
Eminent physicians from all parts of the
country have examined the mans vhysi-
cal and mental condition, and up TO the
present time. no one has been able TO sat
isfactoriy solve the strange problem.
According TO the statements OF the old
er residents, two or Roots nearest rela-
tives were killed in a railroad accident
manner this accident affected the mans
brain in such way that sleep Is next TO
impossible.
He will roam over Presque Isle penin-
sula during the day, and at night can be
found either sitting in a large armchair
ing about the streets OF Trie. On several
occasions traps have been laid in the en-
deavor to discover the man asleep, but as
yet TO no avail.
is his diet. 1t is a known fact that Root
prefers dog flesh TO that or any other
meat Many voluable hunting dogs have
disa ppeared on Presque Isle peninsula,
and ii is no uncommon thing for hunt
err to find his pets body being prepared
for Roots table. AT times the man will
cook the meat, but, as general rule, ne
prefers TO eat IL raw.

members OF st. Vincent de Paul So
ciety.

years. Music will be furnished by an
orchestra, and there will be refresh
ments. Everything that goes to make
up successful festival will be there,

over by prominent women representing
the different churches In the Provi-
dence diocese. There will be a large
variety of articles for sale on the
tables. These Will be contributed
many of them having been sent In al
ready. There will be no lack OF USE
full things on which to take chances.

days. who wish TO encourage this
worthy charity. to send In their con-
tributions. There will be large
basket at the door OF the asylum where
contributions can be dropped.
