A Poets Peculiar Idea
About Sleep.

Nearly everybody has heard Of the
value of refreshing sleep and most Of
people have enjoyed It. In fact, It Is
believed generally from time inrnemo-
rial that 8 certain amount OF sleep
anywhere from six to eight hours OF
the twenty-four. IS necessary to health
and happiness. because there can be no
happiness without health Some peo-
pie appear to require more sleep than
others but few men can thrive and
feel right on less than six hours and
for some people It may take as much
as Dine or ten hours.
Now comes one Gabriel d'Annunzio.

no one needs sleep. He declares that

THRILLING RESCUE
OF MEN AT SEA
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS


. New York, Jan 1S.-Additional
wireless accounts of the rescue two
hundred miles east Of Cape Race early
ship Lusitania of Captain Halyard
and seven men OF the New Foundland
brigantine Mayfower were received
here today. The rescue was effected
according to the message after a three
hour fight by a life boats crew in very
high seas and in the face OF a north
easterly gale.
Captain D. Dow Of the Lusitania,
saw the schooners danger Signal
fiaring torch-and the sudden stopping
Of the engines which changed the
ships course, brought almost every
passenger on deck.
Every able seaman and many stew
ards and ffremen off watch wanted to
man the boat. It finally got off with
First Officer Alexander at the tiller.
For more than two hours the boats
crew struggled to reach the schooner.
The men who had been clinging TO
the rigging jumped overheard one by
one. They were hauled into the boat.
Captain Halyard was the last to quit
his vessel.
Captain Halyard said he had sailed
in the MayAoweT from St. Johns on
September II for Bahia, Brazil, and
arrived November Is. The trip back
had been one long struggle with gales
and head seas. Three days before the
rescue he had lost his rudder, his sails
had been carried away and the May
flower Sprang q. leak.

IN MEMoRIAN.


Mrs. Mary Eliza beth Mcguire "fell
asleep in Jesus" on the evening of
January IS, 1914 at the age of IS
years.
Mrs. Mcguire was one of the best
known and most dearly loved ladies in
Pensacola She had 4 kind word and
a. sweet smile for every one. None
know her but to love her"
On her sudden death on Tuesday
evening and until she was taken to
Milton for interrnent on Thursday, her
home was crowded with bcreaved SYM
pathizing friends and at Milton where
she had resided for many years prcvt-
Gus TO coming to Penss cola, hosts of
friends gathered to attend her funeral.
A most impressive sermon was preach
ed at the Baptist church, there where
she had been a member for about 25
years.
She was a hard working Christian
woman, striving to accomplish all the
good in this world, She raised her
two daughters, Mrs. Noteworthy and
Mrs. Haskell, TO respected positions in
this life.
Besides her two daughters and their
families she leaves three brothers and
one sister, NJ. W. Stokes of Perdido
Station, Ala Fl. NJ. Stokes OF Laurel
Hill, Fla. J. w. Stokes OF Milton and
Mrs. Charles Hurd OF Pensacola, Fla.
Her early life was spent in Andalu-
STA, Ala, from whence she went to
Milton, until her removal to Pensacola
fifteen years ago. Her children arc al
most inConsolable in her sudden death
and find it almost impossible to say.
''Thy will be done" and we shall all
miss our dear friend while we stay on
esrth, but we know that she is now a
rest and freed from all suffering and
sorrow and that our loss is truly her
gain The night of this pitiful life
VIII soon have passed away for US too,
"And with the morn those angel faces
smile.
Which we have loved long since. and
lost awhile"

dividual LIFE and it is only when his
prompter, whatever that may be, be-
comes tired that man sleeps
Man himself the poet asserts.
"does not require sleep. which Is only
an Illusion. 1t Is his invisible pronp-
ter that tires of performing for him
those everyday actions which man at
tributes to his own personality.
when mans mysterious partner re-
quires rest, all he does is 10 remove
from the mundane body something es-
sential to mans weakness, whereupon
sleep supervenes.
THE process is like that Of the me-
chanic who, wishing to damage a piece
Of machinery, removes an essential
part Exactly what mans magic aid
removes in order to send him to sleep
do not know, but am convinced we
shall discover in time"
It may be that poets like Gabriel
d'Annunzio can live without sleep. or
it may be that he has had an indi-
vidual prompter as to his bedtime
hours, but he is about the only one in
the world that has. 1t is presumed
that when this poet gets sleepy he
Just thinks % is the work OF his in
visible partner who is tired and wants
little rest and recreation and pulled
something loose and caused drowsi-
ness to come.
A few years ago that great genius
and wizard, Thomas Edison, declared
that it was unnecessary for people to
sleep over four hours out Of twenty
four; that he had demonstrated that
this was all that was needed by his
own conduct and that he had enjoyed
perfect health. But time changes all
thinss The wizard is now growing
old, and he has seen the folly of some
of his former ideas. Sickness came
to him and he revised his views on
the amount Of sleep needed, and adj
rnits that his former estimate was en-
tirely wrong and now thinks all in
dividuals should take as much sleep
as they feel that they need.
1t Is all well enough to theories on
this matter, but the old fashioned plan
of taking plenty of sleep and having
regular hours Is the reasonable plan
and Is conducive to A long life.

LABOR QUESTION STILL CHIEF
IN CAPITOL BUILDING MATTER

Oklahoma City, Okla, Nov. 29.-It
probably will be some time Monday
or Tuesday before final settlement is
reached in the controversy involving
the question of what union of steel
and iron workers has jurisdiction over
the steel and iron work now being
done on the state capitol, according
to announcement Monday afternoon by
Chairman w. b. Anthony of the capi-
tol building commission.
Mr.. Anthony stated that the whole
question had now reached a point
where it was controversy between
the different unions, who are claim
ing jurisdiction over the work. Only
members of the union which establish
es its jurisdiction, Mr. Anthony stated,
would be employed by the commits
sion.
If it be found that the International
Structural Steel and Ornamental Iron
w VI heIS HAS JuIlSulCllOH, lleH only
members of that organization will be
employed, he said If it be found that
the union, which includes the men
now employed on the work has juris-
diction, there will be no change
Prestige has been added to the claim
of the international Structural Steel
and Ornamental Iron Workers by a let
ter from President Samuel Gompers
