NAP IN SOMNUSDULL ABODE Devotee of Bauchu Sleep by the River Lethe In Dark Cave. Thla ia the adventure of L. E. Critch fleld. Upon the police records he- Is booked merely a "drunk and sleeping under via duct."' But the real tory Is far more re markable. Crltchfleid, having worshiped at several shrines of Bacchus Wednesday evening, wandered down, in the vicinity of the Elev enth street viaduct. His surprise can well be Imagined when he found himself at the entrance to the cave of sleep, the abode of tha dull-eyed Somnus, the spot where the god of day dare not come. He saw the clouds and shadow being exhaled from th ground. Neither cock, watch dog nor goose disturbed the silence. He heard the river Lethe flowing among the rocks which men call the gutter. He could not ee th pop ple growing at the entrance to the cave, but he could smell their subtle odor from which night distils slumber and scatter It over the darkened earth. Crltchfleid entered the cave and beheld there upon a couch of ebony adorned with black plume and curtains, the god of aleep reclining, with dreams hovering about him. Overcome by fhe murmuring of th river Lethe, by the stillness and by th odor of tha popple, Crltchfleid lay down on the cobblestone and dept. How Officer Btull secured admittance to the cave ot sleep Crltchfleid does not know. But there he wa shaking him by the shoulder and bidding Mm get up. Should the sacred cave of Somnu be desecrated by the foot of the policemen? No. And Crltchfleid proceeded to "dig Into" the officer. But a tap on the head put him to sleep more effectually than had the murmuring of Lethe or the odor of th popple and he awoke In th police station, whence he was discharged Thursday morning.
