that his son was now serving life
sentence for murder in a western
prison. He spoke of his bitter feel
ings against the attitude his wife had
taken, for she had insisted that the
boy was diseased This he himself
could not believe and he reviewed the
heart burnings and sorrows which
followed the death of his wife, and
her steadfast faith in the mental
sickness of the boy, and her disap-
proval of his own harshness; and how
at her death he realized that she was
right but his pride and position made
him fear to think Of this subject Sc
riously. He spoke of his own drink
ing days. ard of his abstinence at his
wifes request after tie birth Of his
son. Even on this trial he did not
dare to permit his feelings to assume
the possibility of mental disease. |
told him frankly that he made a mis-
take, that his wife was right, that his
boy was a victim, the direct trans
mission of his own drinking habits.
We shook hands and parted with a
cordially which was not apparent in
the next days examination, and yet
beneath the bluff and stern exterior
l could see the real man struggling to
put the question so that my answers
would be the least favorable to his in
terest The case was won My testi-
mony prevailed and the victim was
placed in an insane asylum, where he
died two years later No one knew
that our midnight interview saved
this prisoner from judicial murder
A few years afterward this lawyer
employed me as an expert in the de-
Tense of similar case. At TIE close
of the trial | went to his son, a poor,
harmless, half-idiotic man. No ques-
lions we're asked, but | knew that he
had only recently been released and
brought home to die. The fathers
tenderness toward him showed this.
The crime had been committed in an
other state and no one knew the facts
of the case.
"A year later this lawyer was found
dead in his bed, and the boy was
placed in a private asylum, where he
is now living Fortunately, his mind
is gone and he is unable to recall the
past. This incident illustrates some
of the startling facts not recognized,

THE END OF TUBERCULOSIS
A Winning Fight.
BY DIR. WILLIAM osLER.

This is not a battle of a year
or a generation. The probabili-
ties are that it will take two or
three generations at least before
we have the mortality from tu-
berculosis reduced to the rate,
say, of that of typhoid fever in
well regulated countries. This
will probably be matter of two
or three generations. Whether
tuberculosis will be finally Grad
icated is an open question. 1t
is foe that is very deeply in
trenched in the human race, but
when we think of what has been
done in one generation, how tho
mortality has been reduced in
some localities so and even 100
per cent, we at least feel that
we can continue the battle with
hope, and so long as we are
fighting with hope the victory is
in sight.

One of the most unfortunate things
of life is that men get into wrong
places. Sometimes the fault is moi
their own. Possibly their attention
has been called to the fact by wiser
men that they might be more success
full at something else. For instance

Judge Jones Says
Fish Law is Good.

In reply to a querylfro Sheriff Joe
Brown, Of Brevard county, ex'Judge
Minor S. Jones makes the following
decision, which we copy from the Ii
tusville Star:
The act of 1909 prohibits fishery in
all waters, salt or fresh, situated within
twenty miles west of the Atlantic
ocean This law was held by the su'
preme court at the January term 1911
to be imperative for lack OF consti
tutional penalty, snowden VS. Brown
ETC.; 50 sr. Rep. 54s'
In that case. it was also held that tne
sentence only was void, not the statute
In 1911 the legislature passed an act
for the punishment of crimes other
than felonies when not otherwise pro-
vided by the statute, or when the pen
atty provided by such statute is met
fectual because Of constitutional pro
visions or because the same is other
w,se illegal or void and fixed uniform
neO.lty ,herstor. Chap. 1922. Acts O
1911.
This act relates back to the act o
1909 and redeems il, / think, from the
adverse decision Of the supreme cour'
Fort Pierce news., 1911-08-25

In Snowden vs.. Brown, etc.
This seems clearly to have been the
intention OF the legislature by the act
Of 1911 to correct the penal defect In
the act of 1909, and where this appears
the retrospective force Of the act OF
1911 is unequivocal and unavoidable.
Endlich on Statute, page 1862,
In my opinion, it must follow there
fore, that the act Of 1909, known as the
Hardee law, is now in full force and
effect,
1t is unquestlonable TO me under the
decision in the Snowden VS. Brown, etc.,
that fishery in and Of the waters OF the
lagoon, except as thespecial law allows
is unlawful. 1t is undoubtedly true
also, that no net with meshes less than
one and half inches may be used any
wnere, that is. al mesh of three inches
from knot to knot.
Yours truly, MINOR s, JONES.

Notice is hereby given 70 all, ana
TO every person, firm or corporation

within twenty miles Of the Atlantic

ties. will be strictly enforced from this

went into effect on and after August
9Th, 1911, but as was not clear as to
the legality Of its provisions after the
passage OF the law Of 1911, and did not
wish to make unnecessary trouble, ]
did not enforce it at that date, but
sought the best legal advice on the sub
iect that could get.
Therefore, give this notice as Of
effect this day. August %, 1911, that
all may be duly governed thereby, and
I will enforce all laws rigidly without
regard to person or persons from this

WHEN LOST IN THE WOODS.
Tho Chief Dangers Lie In Panic and
Overexertion.

inc ChIef Dangers Lie In Panlc and
Overexertion.
Let the man who is lost in the wooda
be very careful not to overexert him
self. His chief dangers lie in panic
and overexertion, and, though he may
be in a great hurry to find shelter,
must warn him to go slowly Two
miles an hour, on an average, through
the snow in the woods is all that q
man in his condition will be able to
stand without overfatigue and its at
tendant dangers, overheating and per-
spiration. By exercising caution q
man may live through week Of what
he is undergoing.
To make this article brief, however.
we shall suppose that he regains the
road by the afternoon Of the first day.
He doesn't yet know, Of course, just
where he is. He should examine the
tracks Of the person who last passed
that way. 1t being afternoon, he must
follow in the direction taken by the
last passing vehicle or team, as shell
ter will be nearest in that direction.
Had it been morning he would have
taken the opposite direction, as WHO
ever made the tracks must have come
from the place where he obtained shell
ter the previous night.-A- B. Carleton
