LAW FOR INEBRIATES.
ease by Many states and Provision
Made for Its Treatment.

Since inebriety has been recognized
officially by some states as a disease
laws have been passed for the treat
ment or care of inebriates. In few
STATES the law provides that they may
be committed to the hospitals for the
insane. In Vermont they may be placed
in such institutions or in private insti-
tutions for the cure of drunkenness,
Massachusetts has a state institution
for the treatment of such cases. Penn
sylvania authorizes the counties to es'
tablish hospitals in connection with the
warehouses and to commit all inebri-
ates for a course of treatment of from
six months to two years, the indigents
at the expense of the county.
In Michigan and Wisconsin INDECENT
inebriates are committed at public ex-
pense to some private asylum, the COM
mitment in the former state being for
not more than 30 days and the cost of
treatment in the latter not to exceed
S13O
In Louisiana the judge of the district
court, upon the application of the rela-
tives of an INDECENT drunkard who has
lost the power of reasonable self-con-
troll" may commit him at the expense
of the parish to some institution for
treatment, provided that it will agree
to Gaze the inebriate at cost not to
exceed 500. California has authorized
certain counties holding lands reserved
for the purpose to build hospitals for
the inebriate. Minnesota has provided
for the commitment of drunkards to a
special department of the state hos
pital for the insane and also author
ICES the county judge to commit drunk
ards to such a special department at

FUTURE IN THE PRESENT.
Acts of the Young Which Point Ont
the Possibilities of Their
Later Career

To predict the future is not altogeth-
quires no more than a careful look
at the present, and a fair exercise of
the reasoning faculties, to decide ac-
curately wtE will take place in the
future
When King Gustavus Adolphus saw a
Swedish boy fall out of window, and
heard him utter no cry of pain, though
he was seriously hurt. he ad.niringly
and thoughtfully remarked: chat boy
will make a man for an emergency"
The prophecy was fulfilled. The boy
became the famous Gen. Baner.
Scarcely less clearly did the action
of John Davy, the composer of the IA
nous song: THE Bay of Biscay," in
dictate in childhood what was to be ex-
pected of him in the future. He lived
in the days when genius was not fos-
tered, and his love of music found no
ordinary means of gratifying itself.
But musical instrument the boy must
have, and though he was but six years
of age, he constructed one.
1t was merely a collection of horse
shoes. The boy obtained 90 or 80 horse
shoes, and from these selected such as
would form a complete scale, and hav-
ing suspended them in ar upper room,
gratified himself by initiating upon
them the chimes of the neighboring
church.
By the use of this primitive musical
instrument, and later on by other
means, he obtained a knowledge of mu-
sic which 30 years after enabled him
to produce works that made him known
to the world.
1t would have taken scarcely more
than ordinary perceptions to tell what
was to be expected in the future of a
certain German boy who sat one day
reading a ''blood-and-thu novel.
He was enjoying the excitement of the
book. But in the midst of it he said
to himself:
''Now { is will never do. I get too
much excited over such books as these.
I can't study so well after. SO here
goes!"
With that he flung the book into the
river. Men knew the lad later on as
Fichte, the great German philosopher.

Andy. IF there is anything you think
you can't handle that may get the bet

He can't row straight now" said
Charlie, looking after Mason's crooked
course.
There is no telling what you may
row into" said Andy, when you make
brandy flask your paddle"
That's so, Andy; that's so. believe
you are right"
The boys attended to their shippers
business and then, returning to their
dory, started for the Gull. At the
island, where Andy had pulled out his
compass and noticed the direction of
the fishing smack, no smack was to be
seen! In its place was bank of fog.
"Whew! Got to row into that?" ex-
claimed Charlie. 1--WE sha'n't find our
seabird."
Got to row into that" said Andy.
And if we row south, following the
compass, 1 think we shall ind our bird"
The bank of fog was rolling in shore,
and soon the dory was in the thick of
mist, mist, mist everywhere.
I'VE must keep this boat heading

why All on the Fishing smack, the

The fishing smack, the Gull, had run
into Soatoa harbor to get cut of the
way Of a storm.
Boys said the skipper Of the Gull
TO the only boys he had in the smack,
Andy Haven and Charlie Manning,
you may go ashore and get us some
fresh beef. ii you see Mason Peters
start him aboard. Time for him to be
back here"
The boys were delighted. This was
their first trip and life abounded in hard
work, and to go ashore even on business
was a vacation. Andy Haven had at
home the reputation of being as steady
as a mill" Charlie Manning was an
impulsive, warm-hearted boy, and his
mother had said to Andy: Look after
our Charlie,"
The pull ashore was a hard one, for
the Gull, anchored near the mouth of
the harbor, was almost two miles from
the village known as the port. Then
the storm that had sent the Gull into
harbor was still roughening the water
while reputed to be over and rowing
was not easy. The boys were good oars
men, though, and pulled away steadily
"There goes the Gull out of sight,
finally cried Andy. Ship your oar
Charlie, and just let me get my com.
pass out"
The boys halted, and taking out OF
his pocket a compass, Andy pointed al
it and said: The Gull is just south
from this island"
What you doing that for?" asked
Charlie.
"Oh, I thought if it came up foggy
once more this might help us"
you're right there said Charlie.
The boys pulled away again and very
soon were nearing shore.

A LETTERS LONG JOURNEY.
Ten Years Between Sender and Re-
cipient. with Touching
Side Light.

c. w. Koenig, clerk of the probate
court, has received a curious letter, or
series of letters. which shows the re-
markable journey of letter which had
been instructed. The letter was mailed
in July, 1850, and just ten years and
one month after it was dropped in the
mail box it reached its destination. In
the meantime, the person who wrote the
letter had married, became the mother
of boy, now seven years old, and died.
The person to whom the letter was sent
had removed from Akron, o., to San
Francisco, Cal.
On July 10, 1889. Miss Pauline Toelle,
then living in Baden, St. Louis county,
wrote a letter to Miss Alice Chisnell,
who lived at 1874 East Exchange street,
Akron, 0. Unfortunately, by slip of
the pen, the letter was directed to St.
Louis. Enclosed in the envelope was
a money order for two dollars, which
the writer insisted on paying for two
little vests that Miss lhisuell, who was
her cousin, had bought for her in Chi
cago. The letter never reached Miss
inc TN AA[AA@~-tpA fAN'
sToelle. Three years afer the letter was
sent Miss Toelle married E. X. Koenig,
a brother of c. W. Koenig. The former
is now living in St. Louis with his lit
tie boy, and is associated with the firm
of William Koenig & Co., at 12O South
Seventh street Miss Toelle was also
a sister of Mrs. a. W. Koenig. Pros South
| Thirteenth street, the two sisters mar
rying brothers. Two years after the
marriage of Miss Toelle she died.
Meanwhile the letter written in 1855
had made journey which covered town
had been sent to the dead letter office
time and time again Between trips tc
| Washington the envelope which con
tanned the letter became covered will
the names of post office after post office
until finally a second envelope was used
and it, in turn, was covered with ad
dresses. On August 10 of this year
while Miss Chisnell was on a visit Il
Los Angeles, Cal, from her home in Sa1
Francisco. she was handed the envelop,
containing the letter, now almost vel
low with age. The money order haC
been extracted by the government, a.
it had become outlawed through tn,
lapse of time. Upon her forwarding
the proper papers to the post office de
partment she received a new money or
der for the two dollars, making the los
good.
The letter received by Mr.. Koeni;
from Miss Chisnell in regard to the mat
ter is touching. She incloses the tw
dollars, which had been sent to hei
saying that she had never intended tha
her cousin should pay for the two vest,
Miss Chisnell made one request. Sh
asked that a suitable gift be purchase
with the two dollars, seemingly recoI

EAGLE AND LOBSTER.
Rider HagGnrd's Brother Tells OF
Most Remarkable Battle
In the Air.

Lieut.. Col. Andrew c. P. Haggard, an
elder brother of Rider Haggard, the
novelist, recently returned from trip
to Newfoundland, and tells of a re-
markable sight he saw while sitting on
the seashnre with guide with whom
ne had been fishing for salmon in the
Terra Nova river. They had been
watching for some time the evolutions
of a whiteheaded eagle, called by the
Newfoundlanders grip" After soar
ing round in several circles above and
in front of them the eagle suddenly
dashed down into a pool of water near
them on the beach and reappeared hold
ing an enormous lobster in his talons.
1t was an old lobster, with a huge
claw, white with barnacles. The eagle
