Ruthven, July 1e.-Edith Taylor, the
1s-year-old girl, who took the nine
days sleep, near Terril. last January.
came here to visit friends Saturday.
SUNDAY, she anu Two SRI friends were
preparing to take Joy ride" Edith
complained of being tired and said she
would like to take little sleep first.
The other girls said they would all lie
down with her for a nap.
When the friends awoke Edith was
still asleep; they tried to waken her
but could not. A physician was called.
but today she still SLEEPS.
Sleep 10 Restless.
She lies on cot by an open window
and appears like one in rather rest
less sleep. Loud noises seem to dis
turb her. She throws her arms and
her muscles jerk. Some one suggested
that some unusual sound might waken
her sensibilities. They sent for girl
to play the violin. This seemed rather
TO have a quieting effect and Edith
lay peacefully sleeping. Then an un-
skilled hand took the bow and drew II
across the strings, but she tossed
about if 1. were annoying to her.
Slspt for Nine Days.
Her nine days sleep came upon hes
in school and her mother thought 1t
was caused by too much study. This
time she had not been in school for
several months.
