A MORE LIBERAL VIEW OF IT.
Justice Grant, of the Michigan Su-
preme Court, in a decision some
months ago, cited a seventeenth
century ruling of an English court
and on the strength of this ruling,
held that bills of complaint and
other proceedings were private af.
fairs in which The public had no
interest beyond idle curiosity and
that newspapers had no right to
publish any thing, not even the
title, until the cases came into
coult. 1t was a decision that
sounded queer in this age of liber-
al ideas and numerous newspa.
pers and savored greatly of the
dark ages and star chambers. But
Justice Grant seems 10 have
changed his mind somewhat on the
newspaper situation, and in his
latest decision expresses himself in
a sensible and modern way. In
his decision he says: "lntelligent
men who are the most competent
jurors are usually readers OF news
papers. Newspapers have the
right TO publish verdictS and judg-
menis rendered in courts. Other
wise the result would be To render
incompetent as Jurors in many
cases nearly all The residents of a
county"

DIR. Keely, of Dwight, ILL.,, presl.
dent of The inebriale asylum, gives
his patients the utmost latitude.
They may eat, drink and be mer-
ry; they may chew tobacco, smoke
a pipe or a cigar, until their heart 5
content; but he draws The lines
on cigarettes, saying:
''Let young man IA years of
age commence smoking cigarettes,
ard lei INN keep it up until he is
20, and he will either be dead
or haye soltening Of the brain. He
can't help it. There is no way out
OF it,"
Clint Parkhursf, of The Daven-
port lowa) Democrat, t,who has been
there for his health" says:
Expulsion is the penalty for
cigarette smoking. No explanation
will be listened to or tolerated. DIR.
Keely has analyzed nearly every
brand of cigarettes made and has
found arsenic in the wrappers of
all of them. In The tobacco he
found either slromonium or bella
dona, and also deordorized opium.
As TO the effect of smoking cigar
cites, DIR. Keely says it Is far worse
than that produced by alcoholism.
He says that a hard drinker will
live twice or three times as long
as the average cigarette smoker"

time before you would come near

tell you The story"
He held up his brown right hand
as he spoke. Across The back Of

these lines passed inside his hand

This finger was twisted and broken
