A Thrilling Case
of Somnambulism

A number OF years ago the COM
munity of Liverpool, England, was
much interested in a case of somnam-
bulism, which occurred on vessel
bound to that place from India IL
was reported, on the arrival of the
vessel. and subsequently communi-
cation on the subject was made to one
of the local papers. It's thrilling and
peculiar character renders it well
worthy of a place in print.
AS passengers on board of this
vessel were Mr. Mills, wife and child.
Mr. Mills had for long time occupied
a lucrative mercantile position in Cal
cutta, and was now returning to his
native land to remain. The child was
a bright boy of Il years. They
made a merry party on board the ship,
and were popular with passengers,
officers and crew. John Mills, the
boy, was an especial favorite. and had
the liberty of every part of the vessel
One day the weather-beaten captain
and Mr.. Mills were on deck, looking
at the boy as he ran about.
"A noble lad said the captain. Mr.
Mills, you ought to be a proud father"
THANK you, captain" replied Mr.
Mills with tears of honest pride and
JOY standing in his eyes. Il am
proud, l can assure you But do you
know that at times l feel great dis
tress about him."
"Distressi" repeated the captain
why. what about, | should like to
know? He is in the best of health
he is intelligent-hls prospects in life
are good. What more do YOU want?'
Il viii tell you the trouble" said
Mr. Mills, with a serious face. Ever
since John was five years of age he
has been somnambulist His moth
er and mysen are in constant appre-
hensicn that in some of these spells
harm may come to him
The kind-hearted captain at once set
to work to quiet the fears Of the ia

will happen But" he added as he

MAINTAINS GIRLS OF THE
UNITED STATES ARE BEST

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 23.-[Editor
Herald: Findlay Macdonald says that
it would be a Quixotic performance on
his part to question the statement that
the daughters of Uncle Sam are the
best in the world, and in the same SEN
tence he practically admits that where
liberty is there should be the best peo-
pie.
do not deny that the girls of Canada
are less liberty-loving than their sis
ters Of the United States, but the
country in which they live must pay
a tax to the crown, and this is TAXA
tion without representation. This is
relic Of barbarism, and has it's bad
effect upon the people who pay the
tax.
He says there is no aristocracv Of
wealth in Canada such as we have in
the United States. deny this state
meft
I think the girls of Canada are beau
tiful and I think the women Of Switzer-
land must bee beautiful because they
live in a country governed by a pure
democracy.
I know that the battle of Quebec is
one of the mile-posts of progress; it
marks the end Of the French reckless
ness Of 1889 And after the English
established themselves in America
they became reckless, and that the
battle Of Yorktown put an end to tax
alton without representation. This
latter meant more liberty for the
United States than it did for Canada,
and consequently Uncle Sans girls
are the best.
The above are the logical reasons why
they should be good looking, and any
prejudiced mind knows that the results
are true. A YOUNG MAN.

SAYS WOMEN'S EFFORTS
ARE A MELANCHOLY JOKE

SOUTH PASADENA, Jan. 21.-[Edf-
tor Herald: Your editorial in The
Herald a few days ago praising the
Friday Morning club for providing
scholarships for children who other
wise would be obliged to work does
not strike me as we'll considered.
In giving to the poor parents month
ly sums equivalent to the amount their
children could earn by working, the
clubwomen show lack of judgment that
is only equaled by their desire to help
correct an evil that is too far-reach
ing and deep-rooted ever to be affected
by the mere laying on of hands. The
clubwomen are only flirting with the
problem.
These women, wives Of capitalists, to
whom the parents of the children they
wish to help must apply for employ
ment, take a little of the money their
husbands gain from the labor of the
wage slaves and graciously bestow it
as aims upon the fathers and mothers
who are expected to be grateful for be-
ing helped in this way to educate
their children.
It is a melancholy joke on the work
ing class. Carried to it's ultimate alb
surdity, think of the result: AS long
as they occupy their present anomalous
position such attempts made by the
clubwomen to aid the disinherited
children of the poor cannot be taken
seriously. You say in your editorial:
GOD BLESS WOMAN" I say, God
help woman to a clearer understand
ing Of her WHOLE obligation to So
ciety. When she is once reused to true
social consciousness she will be
ashamed of such dole of patronizing
charity, realizing that when justice is
done to all the children Of the poor
will have no need of such help from
her. MARGARET MOWBRAY

HOPES ANTI-VICE CRUSADE
WILL NOT STOP AT EFFECTS

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 27.-[Editor
Herald: While I am delighted to see
an exposure of the extent to which vice
is being protected by authority in this
city, I notice with regret that the con-
tributors to your Letter Box are not
showing the activity 1 should have ex-
pected in demonstrating the, extent to
which conditions that produce vice are
created by authority. And until this is
done, and done courageously, it is idle
to talk of the eradication of vice.
From my standpoint it is thousand
pities. that even the most indignant
show a deplorable lack Of knowledge on
this subject, as evidenced by their let
tiers, and / find it hard to understand
why so many are content to play with
the surface of this great problem and
go no further. Books are plentiful, de-
