GIRLS LONG SLEEP
YOUNG Woman in State of Como
for 100 Days.
Physicians Attribute Miss Haze
Schmidt's Experience to Work
Which Overtaxed Her Nerv-
Gus System.

Vandalia, ul.-Hazel Schmidt, after a
sleep of 100 days, recently awakened.
and is picking up the loose threads OF
life, reading the newspapers and mar
yelling at the infinite number Of things
that can occur in SO short a N
This remarkable sleep of a young
and handsome oma is said by the
doctors to be unprecedented in anthem
tic cases Of a similar nature. To be
sure Rip Van Wrinkle was made TO
sleep 20 years by Washington Irving,
but that story is fiction, while Hazel
Schmidt's sleep is attested by hun
dreds who saw, and no II in this
city will doubt it's truth.
1t was on April 25 that she entered
on the long sleep. The permanent
awakening did not occur until Thurs
day, August 3, making it exactly 1OO
days that she was practically with
drawn from the world.
During that 100 days the longest
time that she could be kept awake
was a period of two hours, and the
longest period that she was asleep con
tinually was 81 hours.
Despite the fact that during these
100 days, and for four weeks before
they began, and for two or three days
after they were ended, she did not
leave her bed, she looks and feels just
as we'll today as when she entered on
this mountaineering sleep.
Her intellect appear just as keen
as ever; she is Interested in the
worlds doings, is eager for informa-
ton, but is so sensitive about the re-
markable experience that h has I'M
dergone that she will see no strangers,
and she is loathe to discuss her case
with even her closest personal friends
and is even reticent when talking with
her father and mother regarding it.

INTERCHANGE OF GRIM WIT
How General Sherman and Colonel
Watts Exchanged Flowers and
Newspapers at Vicksburs.

An Interchange Of grim wit between
General Sherman and a Confederate
colonel before the taking Of Vicks-
burg, which surrendered July 4, 1863,
Is remembered in detail by one of the
persons present at the interview, Col.
II. R. Brinkerhoff, u. S. A., retired.
and late military treasurer of Porto
Rico, who was at that time a lieu
tenant in an Ohio volunteer regiment.
The incident, which he tells as fol-
lows, too place on the Mississippi
river a short distance above Vicks-
burg:
Il received permission to accompany
General Sherman to a meeting of the
flags that had been arranged for a
certain hour. Dur vessel steamed rap
Idly dow the river from Youngs
point, where our boats lay. We flew
a great white flag at the masthead.
The vessel soon reached a point al

that we would be permitted to steam

bringing our visitors, Colonel Watts.
the Confederate assistant commission
er of exchange, and an artillery Off
Ger.
After some business conversation
concerning the exchange of prisoners
the entire party entered into general
conversation. Colonel Watts and Gen
eral Sherman discussed the probable
results of the war. The discussion
became heated and Colonel Watts
changed the subject by opening a
package that he had brought with him
and exposing to view a magnificent
bouquet of flowers
"'There!' he exclaimed. General
Pemberton told me to give you these
flowers with his kind regards
General Sherman fastened to take
the bouquet and at once made an i'm
mense ado over it and held 1t In his
hand until the visitors had taken their
departure. In return, a package OF

weighing about 125 pounds, and is OF
a graceful carriage and figure.
Five years ago she accepted a posi-
ton in the telephone exchange in Van
dalia, and for five years she was en-
ployed there. She became the CHIEF
operator, and had charge OF the long
distance wires. At first the work dld
not appear %onerous, but during the
last months those who knew her best
could not fail to detect she was de-
cidedly more than she was
when she undertook the work
Her father observed this, n ne
prevailed on her to the work.
She was ambitious, and after at first
demurring she did give up the place,
but accepted a ~clerkship in the office
OF the county clerk, and was employ
ed on the arduous task Of making out
the tax books
Her ~vousn increased to so
alarming an extent that a doctor was
called, and he diagnosed her condition
as p weakening of the nervous system,
and that a complete rest and no men
tai exertion was necessary to restore
her to her normal condition. h gave
I'D work altogether and remained at
her home and went into society but lit
tie. During the latter part of March
her condition became such that her
family was alarmed. There is no
cause for apprehension" the doctor
I said. 1T is purely ~hysteria, and with
careful treatment she will eventually
recover, but it may be a long time"
During The first week of her strange
sleep the girl was never awake to ex-
coed a few minutes at a time. She
~appeared to suffer non Her awaken
ings were calm and peaceful. They
were preceded by no ervou manifest,
atoms of any alarming character. She
would open her eyes and calmly ask
some question, and apparently did not
realize that she had been asleep to an
unusual extent. The fact that she had
slept so long was kept from her for
fear that it would brighten her.

Iona Buried Apples Found.

Youngstown, Ohio.-Workmen en-
gagged in e~xcavating for a sewer in
Logan avenue today unearthed twenty
feet beneath the surface three apples
and a penny OF the coinage of 1910.
The apples we're in an excellent state
of preservation and were eaten by the
workmen. Twenty years ago this
street was filled in, and it is believed
the apples which fell from a tree
along the road were buried at that
time. Agriculturists who have been
told of the strange find are unable to
account for the remarkable preserva
ton of the fruit.
