Somewhere in the world, and 1t be-
gins to look as If it>yere in the world
of California, wife and daughter,
probably are mourning for a husband
who faded away into tho mists of OBJ
scurity and did not return.
In West Tulsa last May a man was
picked up in the road, unconscious,
with a crushed skull. He had no let
ters, no papers of any sort which
would serve to identify him. On his
clothes was no mark of identification
except the mark of California cloth
Ter on his waistcoat pockets. He was
taken to police headquarters and af
terwards to the hospital, where, un-
der an operation his crushed skull
was raised and part of the bone re-
moved. In the course of the opera
ton a considerable quantity of the
brain substance ran out.
Loses Speech Power.
Then when recuperation began it
was found that he had lost his power
of speech. He is paralyzed in his
right side and his right hand is prac-
tically useless After time he was
removed to the county farm. While
he seemed perfectly rational and in
telligent, after the fashion of the
mute, but alert and intelligent dog,
he had no means to give expression
to thots. Like child learning to
talk he has acquired a few words at
time. Last week for the first time
he began to connect words into sem
tencG using as many as four or five
words at time.
The loss of his identity is only par
tial. He is in the condition of the
| person who cant quite think" AS
| a lost word, common experience of all
human beings, hovers just beyond the
| realm Of thot Nunexpressed, so this
| mans identity is just beyond him. He
has learned. thro the patient efforts
of Miss Swift, superintendent OF the
farm, and Doctor Rhodes, county phy-
sician. to say a few words.
Il can't" he means over and over
as he is questioned about himself and

GIVES SECRET OF SUCCESS
George w. Perkins' Method 10 to Live
Every Day as II Il Were to Be
the Only One.

MY own method has been to live
every day as though 1t was the only
day had to live, and to crowd every
thing possible into that day. Pay no
attention to the clock or what you
are paid. but work and live for all
that Is in it-just as you play foot
ball-and everything else will take
care Of ITSELF" said George w. Per
kins.
The head of the table is the place
where there is most room. 1t is the
tree that grows and grows until II
overtops the others that gets the most
air and sunshine. The thing for the
young man to do Is to strive with all
the energy he possesses to excel in
actual ability.
Pull is not necessary. Nor should
a young man bother too much about
his wages. never asked an increase
in my life. You can command sooner
or later what you are entitled to-if
you pre-eminently deserve ii.
But you have got to be ultra-profi-
cient in some particular thing. You
must stand out and do 1t better than
the fellows around you whether you
are an office boy, n stenographer or an
executive. You must use your head
as well as your hands. Don't be afraid
to do extra work lest 1t interfere with
your theater going. I don't go to the
theater half dozen times during the
winter. not that don't like it, but
there are other things more worth do

PeeuIIaritIes Of Sleep.

A person absolutely without sleep
for nine days will die. Sufferers from
insomnia sometimes maintain that they
have gone for weeks without sleep, but
it has been proved that they actually
sleep without being aware of it. At
a certain point sleep is inevitable, no
matter what the bodily condition. the
alternative being death. A method Of
tanning wild elephants is said to be
that Of depriving the animals Of sleep
when first caught. In a few days they
