SLEEP WALKER LEAVES
TRAIN CLAD IN PAJAMAS
New York Busines Man Awakened at
Tulsa, OkIahoma-Train Gone
with His Clothes

TULSA, Okla, Feb. 25.-When the
telegraph operator in the st. Louis &
San Francisco railroad station here
stepped from his office to the platform
at 4.30 yesterday morning, he was
greeted with the sight of pajama-
clad figure pacing back and forth.
The night was very cold. The oper-
ator facetiously inquired if the walker
were taking a constitutional. Receiv-
ing no reply, he approached closer, and
found that the eyes of the thinly-clad
person were closed and that he was
asleep.
When awakened, the somnambulist
explained that he was II. e. Jamison.
a business man of New York, and that
he had been a passenger on the ST.
Louis train, en- route to Oklahoma
city. The last he remembered was
retiring to his berth in a Pullman
sleeper
Jamison took the next train for Sa-
pulpa, where his clothing and belong
ings had been taken off the train'

LINER USES FISTS ON
SUPPOSED DETRACTOR
Hears Word "Bum" and Thinks User
Intended to Cast Reflection
on All the Home
seekers

Humor was added to the situation
late yesterday afternoon when num-
Der of the 'linemen" visited the land
office in the Chamber of Commerce
building. One of the citizens awaiting
information concerning the same in
structions remarked that he was glad
that the line was not going to be recog-
nized."
Had your line been permitted" he
said, sit would have prevented many
men and women from having an op-
portunity to get home. 1t is impos-
sible for all of us to close our homes
and bum around while keeping a line
intact"
One of the energetic liners did not
understand all that was said by the
citizen, who is a Southern Pacific rail-
road conductor, in charge of train
operating between Yuma and Los An
geles. Neither did he ask any ques-
tions. He heard the word "bum," and
he thought the railroad man had placed
the landseekers in the category with
undesirable citizens. With one blow
from his right fist he sent the con-
ductor staggering against the wall.

TIME seize-it-as-you-pass society is
ToYilCI TO REDvcE HER
WEIGHT

H HE Seize-it-as-y -you-pass society is
composed of those people who
Il stand daily in the great cafeteria
bread lines of Los Angeles. They are
the people who are compelled by force
of circumstances co take their daily
su5tenance, or some section of it, in the
heart of the city and in a hurry. Day
after day they meet at the front door
of some waiterless food emporium, pass
together down the chute of the ever
hungry, pick a crumb here and frag-
ment there until they have accumu-
lated a meal, sit and eat, and pass on
out into the world until they meet
again.
The cafeteria Is an outgrowth of sew
eral evil systems The modern per-
nicious tipping system was in a great
measure responsible for its springing
into existence. The unsatisfactory
method of selecting a dinner or lunch
from a card was another immediate
cause. If there had been no walters
trust to boost the tipping scale beyond
the reach of families of moderate
means, and If moving pictures of the
assortment of food offered could have
been presented instead of a printed list,
the cafeteria would have ben unneces-
sary.
People wish to become intimately ac-
quainted with the food they buy be-
fore they draw up the papers and close
the deal. 1t is right. The mail order
idea has been carried too far in this
country. The public should not be
compelled to survive on foodstufts

GAS HEATER CAUSE oE FIRE

Mrs. j. Fl. Upton of 1908 Olympis
street narrowly escaped injury late
yesterday afternoon when, while at
to light a gas heater in the
basement of her home, an explosion
resulted and in an instant the small
room was on fire. She rushed out OF
the place before the flames reached
her and notified the fire department
The prompt arrival of firemen pre-
vented the house from being destroyed
and the fire was extinguished quickly
The damage is estimated at $175.

Others crowded about the men, but an
explanation offered by one who had
heard and understood the railroad
mans remark prevented second blow
being struck. The conductor, his right
eye discolored, hastened to the office of
Prosecutor Hill, where he sought bat
terry complaint against his assailant.
He was directed to present witnesses
who could corroborate his story.
Publication in The Herald of pic
ture of C. r. Bunker, secretary of the
organization formed by the Yuma land
seekers, caused G. E. Bunker Of Up

Second street. The men are cousins,
but lost trace of each other seven
years ago. They saw each other last

the intimation that the mysterious
cryptograms recently discovered in
personal advertisements in the San
Francisco newspapers has been traced
to his office was absolutely false.
According to a dispatch from San

the statement he was circulating
falsehood.

Spirit and Discipline at West Point.

Spirit and Discipline at West Point.
The very idea of insurgency has vim
in it, and it may be that the cadets at
West Point were carried away by the
drift of the hour when they rebelled
against an unpopular instructor. They
hazed him, not as they haze their fell
lows, but by stolid silence and refusal
to eat in his presence. A breach of
discipline of the kind is certain to
bring swift condemnation, because it
is a blow at all authority. The law of
the army is "obey first and protest
afterward."
Judging from precedent in the mat
ter of West Point hazing, however, this
outbreak of spirit at the Military acad-
envy will not be dealt with severely.
1t is not an easy matter to punish a
whole cadet corps. Perhaps the affair
will result in giving cadets a chance to
voice their grievances from time to
time in a respectful and dignified man
ner. In this case the Objectionable in
structor is from Missouri, and the ca
diets may have adopted the silence"
treatment and gone supperless to bed
as the best way to 'show" him.

SANE CHRISTMAS NEXT.

Why Should lndiseriminats Gift Civ.
ing to Grownups Continued
Is the movement for a safe and
sane fourth Of July to be followed by
one for an economical Christmas? Do
the majority OF people feel that the
Christmas present has been as much
overdone as the firecracker. the toy
cannon and the pinwheel?
1t must be understood in the outset
that the movement to curtail Christ
mas giving has no relation to the chill
dren. The joy of the little ones in
their Santa Claus and his bounty is
too beautiful a thing to disturb. 1t is
only the presents to the grownups. to
every Tom, Dick and Harry with
whom one happens to be acquainted.
the presents that are burden and a
bore both to giver and recipient, that
it is proposed to abandon.
Frequently these are given through
a sense Of duty and cannot be af-
forded by the donor. Just as frequent
ly they are not needed by the one on
whom they are bestowed. Thus the
outlay Is not justified. 1t Is depriva-
ton to one without any corresponding
benefit to the other. The recipient in
turn feels it a duty to make presents to
the giver. presents that perhaps he can
as little afford and that his friend
as little needs. Thus both have had to.
make sacrifices for which they have
received no equivalent good. 1t is this
sort of giving when we expect a re-
turn. this giving through sense Of
past or prospective obligation. against
which there is widespread revolt. It
Is not in harmony with the Christmas
spirit. 1t Is commercial, onerous and
lacking in spontaneity. 1t makes us
dread the return of the holiday when
we should welcome it with Joy.
Fortunately the habit is dying out.
Without any preconcerted movement
to that end it is still being dropped by
mutual consent. A has reached the
point Of insurgency where he doesn't
give hang whether B remembers him
or not. He will not rack his brain
and deplete his pocketbook buying un-
| welcome things Tor b, only 10 cause d
in turn to hurl. perhaps grudgingly,
equally unwelcome things at his own
head. All unknown to A the same in
surgency has been working In the
heart Of B, and the irrational custom
falls Of its own weight. In conse-
quence the day on which we celebrate
the birth Of the Son Of Man ceases to
be q bargain counter exchange.
With the children it Is different. We
give to them for the pure joy Of 1t,
without any hope Of return. We enter
into their joys and partake Of the
Christmas spirit by sharing it with
them. Thus we unconsciously fulfill
the command Of him in whose honor
the day is celebrated and vertically be-
come as little children.

Back To The Farm

There is now going on considerable
discussion of the question CT "Back to
the Farm" J. J. Hill and other great
railroad heads are discussing farm
life, and proposing schemes for turn
ing the tide from the city back to the
farm.
After all has been said there is Just
one thing that will attract people to
the farm and that is to make farm life
sufficiently profitable to be attractive;
to make it a paying business. Until
farming pays no amount Of theory and
discussion will attract people to farm
life. 1t is primarily a question ofpro'
Ats; Of dollars and cents.
Last week President Elliott of the
Northern Pacific visited Moscow, and
while there inspected the plant of the
Idaho National Harvester. He made
a close study of the new harvestes, in
quiring about its work and the cost OF
operation. He said that in his opin-
ion the Idaho was one of the greatest
inventions; that the conditions de-
handed just such a machine; that il
made bigger profits on raising gram
possible, and because of this would be
the means of accomplishing tine thing
so much desired-bringing people back
10 the farm. And it will.
When we review the work already
accomplished by this machine blind
man can understand why President
Elliott said what he did. Take the
case OF ]. Z. Hanson of Genesee, Ida.
Here is a prac teal and successful
farmer. In 1909 he bound and thresh.
ed his crop, and It cost him in excess
of six dollars an acre from the field to
the sack. In 1910 Mr.. Hanson used
an Idaho National combine. Instead
of six dollars an acre it cost him seven
ty.6ve cents, and he got the seventy.
FIVE cents, This was from crop that
made twenty-five and half sacks pei
acre.
Here is net saving to the farmer
OF $685. on one hundred acres of grain.
And wha: Mr.. Hanson has accomplish.
any other farmer can as successfully
do. Thus has the Idaho National, a
Moscow invention and Latah county
industry solved problem that has
vexed the most thoughtful men of our
time. This great invention has made
farming more profitable, and it ha:
done more. 1t has robbed the harvest
season of its drudgery and its slavery
1t has emancipated the farmer for il
has not only increased his profits. bu
it has at the same time solved thu
labor problem: 1t has made the farm
er independents Star Mirror.
