The Supreme Court of Michigan has
been called upon TO decide what is a
drunkard. under the law. young man
had lately come into fortune. Some
of his relatives applied to the court to
pronounce him incapable of managing his
own affairs. on the ground that he is
drunkard. 1t was shown to the trial court
that be had been drunk twice, and court
gave the verdict against him. An appeal
was taken, the ground being that the two
cases of drunkenness were separated by
a considerable interval of time, and that
during the interval the young man had
shown his capacity to refrain from drink
ing. The contention therefore is that two
DRINKS do not make a drunkard.

There has been some talk lately OF a
purpose on the part OF France to join Rus
Egypt Il chances that Egyptian stocks
are largely held by French investors.
Under England's domination OF Egypt tho
stocks have commanded good prices. Were
England to withdraw, the market for
them would slump. For this reason IL is
believed it would take exceedingly strong
pressure on the part OF Russia to induce
France to take position against Eng
lands remaining In Egypt during her
pleasure.

IEOIII N4lV tNOW NOIh 4 ECS0s
When marriage is not an opportunity It
is an opportunity.
In all probability GOD Is more human
than most Of us think.
No man can keep ahead of himself and
behind his wife at the same time.
Some men are so mean that you can
fiatter them by sticking up your nose at
their wives.
1t is a woman's ambition to be so well
known that other women viii wonder
what kind of a husband she has got.
Nine times out of ten, when man
throws himself away he finds woman
waiting on the spot where he lights, to
catch him.

A German scientist says that Chicago
people are particularly subject to heart
disease, because meat is so plentiful there
and they eat too much of It. There is a
chance that the German savant is wrong
in part. There is a plenty Of meat in
Chicago and people there die from heart

IN other cities as well. May il not be that

In the rush and excitement of getting
the news of the fire out from Jackson
vile the other night, some of the corre-
spondents, unwittingly no doubt, did an
injustice to Fire Chief Haney. 1t was
stated that when he found the fire beyond
control he lost his head and finally went
crazy and had to be removed to his
house by force. This, 1t now appears, was
without foundation in fact. He worked
under tremendous pressure, and it would
not have been strange had his mind CIV
en- way; but it did not, and he has from
the beginning of the confagration been
almost constantly on duty and rendering
as good service as any man could give
under the circumstances. This statement
is due to a brave and faithful officer.

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Chicago Chronicle (Dem) says: 'It
requires calmness to investigate matter
like the canteen, and neither party this
week appears to have been calm. I'm
compromising foes to the drink habit do
not make very good investigators of the
subject. They are apt to be prejudlced.
Ministers who ahbor prize-fghting would
not think well OF the findings on that
subject of committee composed of men,
bers of the prize ring. How, then, can
ministers who have stood all their lives
against the saloon expect to render an
unbiased verdict upon the merits of the
army canteen? In the irrelevant discus
sion which took place at the fort this
week one of the clergymen naively an
nounced that there was more nourish-
ment in an egg thanthere was in glass
of beer. Bless his innocent heart! AS
though the soldiers went to a saloon for
nourishment!'
Writing of the Jacksonville fire, the

property consumed is just so much prop
erty lost to the individual as we'll as to
the community. The Jacksonville FIRE will
probably cause reforms to be instituted In
Jacksonville itself, but It is not likely
to lead to needed improvements in other
cities in the way OF greater precautions"
