He Got His Overcoar.

From the st. Louis Globe Democrat.
In 1868 Charles B. Davidson, the
son Of Lyman Davidson, a rather
prominent citizen, left Adrian, Mich.
accompanied by a sister, and located
in western Missouri, their mother hav-
ing previously died Shortly after
their arrival at their Western home
young Davidson enlisted in the Union
army, and in 1864 visited his father
at Adrian on a furlough. He reached
there in the night, and the next morn
ing repaired to the Lake Shore car
shops, where he knew his father was
employed. The old man greeted him
affeCtionately, aud after they had en-
iOyed q short conversation, the son
said suddenly:
Here, father, take my Overcoat;
I'll be back in q minute" But the
young man did not return. He learn
ed. however, through other members
of his regiment, that his boy had re-
turned to the army and that he
served with honor and setaty to the
end of the war, but althOGlh he wrote
repeatedly, there never came a, line of
explanation from the youth. After
the war all traces Of him was lost.
Once, thirteen years ago, the father saw
an account in q newspaper of the
drowning Of CHARLES Davidson in the
Pacific wreck, and doubted not that
the ungrateful boy had thus met his
punishment in 5he form of a violent
end
The other day. however. a travel
ing man dropped from a train at Ann
ArbOr and accidentally ran across q
resident there who called himself
Charles B. Davidson, had been in the
army. and spent his bOykOOd in
Adrian.
"My fathers name was Lyman"
said he
"And he is still alive. know him,
said the drummer.
WHAT was the exclamation Of
the Ann Arborite. ''My father alive?
Why, 1 wrote him more than a hun
dred letters when / was In the army
and never got an answer. thought
he must be dead"
ooh, there can't be any mistake
about it. He's very old, but still
there"
The son still had some doubts, but
his visit to Adrian assured him that
the drummer mad been the bearer of
truthful tidings, tor the father and
son met once more alter their separa-
ton Of twenty-fOur years.
Mr.. Davidson, the younger is fore
man In the Ann Arbor Courier Office
and superintendent of the City EleC-
trle Light Works. and is an excellent
and respected gentleman. He is now
At years old, and his father is 80.
They had lived in adjoining counties
for many years. and but for the
drummer's chance conversation with
the son. would still be unknown to
each other.
Here's your overcOat." SAID the
old man at their recent joyful meet
inc. after they had talked steadily for
several hours. Why didn't you come
bach for it?'
"Why, I received a telegram COM
manding me to return to my regiment
at once and 90 TO the front 1 had
only time to catch my train and,
although I tried to send word to you,
I knew so few people that / could not
do it. I had to 20 without saying

The Family Medical Adviser

When you choose a doctor, it is
well to give him to understand that
you are depending upon him, and
that you consider HIM already in
certain sense responsible for the
physical Wellbeing OF yourself and
your family. The late DR.. .AIpheus
Benning Crosby well said that his idea
OF q wise patient was zone who,
having selected an intelligent phys
ician, holds hIm personally response
bic for his life.
Havine selected your physician,
then make him in reality the medical
adviser of every member of your fam
lily. Take him into your home and
give HIM the opportunity to become
acquainted witt the personal and
family history and physical condition
OF every member thereof. so that he
may be able to trace their hereditary
tendencies. recognize their predispo-
sibions, understand their neculiarities,
and anticipate their weaknesses-In
short. 20 know their constitution.
Having this knowledge, he will be
able TO give them the Wisest advice IN
health. and the most successful treat

THE LIQUOR PROBLEM Nv.

Nearly thirty years ago the Hon. j.
b. Grinnel laid out town upon his
own land in the State of Iowa. This
founder. offers the best illustration,
probably, to be found in the world of
enforced prohibition. The titles which
he gave to the land were in the nature
of leases which would expire whenever
intoxicating liquor, for use as bever-
age, was sold upon the premises con-
veyed. 1t has been questioned whether
this provision would stand in Court or
not. However that may be, it and
the public sentiment have pretty eff
fectually prohibited the sale of liquors
to be used as beverages in that town.
The town has grown until it has, ac-
cording to the latest information at
hand, not less than 10000 inhabitants
And what have been the results? l
shall just state three facts and leave
the reader to judge for himself
whether or not the relation of cause
and effect subsists between the strict
system of prohibition in force and the
facts. l. Grinnell has never furnished
an inmate to the State Penitentiary.
.. Grinnell has never furnished an in
mateof he State Lunatic Asylum. 3.
Grinnell has never furnished an in
mate of the County Poor House. 1t
will be understood with regard to the
first point, that minor otfenses are
punished by fine and imprisonment in
county iails in Iowa.
Such a result as this could not be eX
pected to follow the enactment of
prohibitory law in the Islands, as it
could not be so well enforced here.
Moreover, the offenses for which men
are punished in this country are not of
so violent a nature as in other coun-
tries, and they are not subject to quite
the same influence from the use of in
toXicants as in those other countries.
But who will say that prohibition
reasonably well enforced would not
diminish crime, poverty and insanity,
which have so signally failed to put in
their appearance at Grinnell But it
will not do to base an argument upon
a single case, and that confessedly an
exceptional one.
The whole State of Iowa has been
trying the experiment of prohibition
since July, 1884, and it may prove in
teresting to look at the results. 1t is
not contended that the strict law on
the statute books of Iowa is fully en-
forced. Governor Larrabee, an honest
man whose experience of prohibition
since the passage of the law has made
him Il prohibitionist, lately sent out
circulars to all the Sheriffs, nearly one
hundred in number, asking how many
open saloons there were in each county
of the State. In reply he got reports
of 325, and the total number will prob
ably reach 400 As the number OF
open saloons prior to prohibition was
somewhat more than 1000 it viii be

County Assessor L. ii, Dunn has coru-
pleted the assessment list OF Yanktoh
county for this year and Tomorrow an
extract from it will appear in these
columns. BY way of preparing the
public for the facts which the list will
develop it may be stated that no great
advance OF last years assessed valuation
will be found. THIS ss accounted for by
the fact that the assessment this year on
certain property is much less than last
year and that while the county is aetaal-
ly much better off than last year the
assessed values are lower and therefore
the total assessed valuation is less.
