FOB THKEB TEARS GIRL
HAS REFUSED TO SPEAK
ELK WOOD, Ind., May W. Two
miles northeast of Orestes live Mr, ami
Mrs. George Gosliu, whose 14-year-old
daughter, Dale, has subsisted for three
years on liquid food, and during that
time has not spoken a word or uttered
a sound.
When Dale was 11 years old she
caught a severe cold while attendiug
school, and her throat became nffected.
Her voice gradually sank to n whisper
and finally disappeared. Meantime she
was fed1 on liquid food and apparently
the cold left her, but she has not spok
en since and absolutely ret'naes to pur
take of any foods that require mastica
tion before being swallowed.
Her health is not affected. She is
well developed for a girl of her age,
weighing 110 pounds, and is remarkably
pretty. When spoken to she hears wlmt
is said to her and if pleased she ac
knowledges it with a nod of the head or
.a smile, but while she has ben exam
ined by surgeons and specialists in
throat and vocal affections, who state
that there is absolutely nothing the
matter with the girl, nothing will in
duce her to speak or partake of any
thing to eat but liquid food.
Entreaties, cajoling and even force
have been tried, but without avail. The
father has spent hundreds of dollars
trying to get his daughter to talk, but
she will not utter a sound or give the
least intimation that she desires to con
verse with her parents or friends.
The father has been advised to place
the girl in some institution where it is
believed that tho formation of uew
friends and strange surroundings will
induce her to talk again.

LONG-LOST CHILD
RESTORED TO PARENTS
OAKLAND, C'nl, May 10. Judge
Waste in Oakland yesterday awarded
tho custody of Alviu Smith Eaton, 9
years of age, to his parents, Jacob H.
and Bertha Lesser. The action marks a
romantic story of the 'long lost child
found" which was exploited in San
Frnneisco last week when the parents
obtained the custody of the child upon
n writ of habeas corpus. According to
the testimony adduced by Judge Waste,
Mrs. Lesser became ill immediately af
ter lier marriace and circumstances
forced her to place the child in nn or
phan asylum. When she. wns in a posi
tion to take it again it wfls discovered
that a Mrs. Bono Eaton had adopted it.
For several years a search was insti
tuted for it, but without success.
During this period Mrs. Eaton was
divorced and within tho last few
months became acquainted with Mrs.
Lesser. In a womanly exchange of con
fidences Mrs. Lesser told of her miss
ing child and Mrs.fl Eaton related how
she had adopted a boy out of the orphan
age. The relationship of the child- was
finally established and Mrs. Eaton did
not contest the adoption proceedings.
