Louis Victor Eytinge, lihre de una
sentencia que 10 condenaha para toda
la vida sano de una tuberculosis que,
Segdn los medicos. debfa haber sign1f-
cado su muerte, ACADIA de salir de la
renitenciaria de Arizona y ha acepta-
do la oferta de un empleo con nn suel-
do de quinientos dolares mensuales.
La historic de este hombrS es uno
de los mas intensos dramas hnmanos.
Eytinge, a pesar de pertenecer a
inna familia acaudalada, sinti6 desde
nifo una tendencia irresistible al ro-
bo. Principle por robar dinero y joyas
en- su propia casa. Mas tarde falsifc6
cheques. Aunque muchas veces fue lie
vado ante la justicia, Ell dinero y la
iAfuencia de su familia, que recompen-
saba generosamente los damnificados,
10 libraron varias veces de la ca GEL
Pero Ell muchacho parecia haber ma
rido con Ell espiritu de la delincuencia
Nj los consejos nj las facilidades que
Sc le daban para que Sc ganara honra-
damente la vida lograban variar su in
clinaci6n al crimen. Finalmente, su IA
mia lie ofrecio una pension de Glen do
lares mensuales con la condicl6n de
que Sc fuera al oeste, donde el reci-
biria regularmente ell dinero sin otra
obligation que la de no manchsr Ell nom
Ire de la familia con su conducta bo-
chornosa. .r
Esto tampoco 10 euro. Sesenta dias
despues era conducido ante un juez,
acusado de haber asesinado "a un hon.
bre en- un camino p1blico para robar-
lie su dinero. Esta vez no Sc pudo ha-
Ger NADIA para salvarlo de la carcel,
donde va habia cumplido dos ssenten-
Gas por estafa. Fue condenado ahora a
vrision perpetual. eo
Sin embargo, nadie crey6 que Eytin
sc fuera a permanecer muchos amos en-
Ia carcel, pues contrajo tuberculosis
Los medicos de la penitenciaria espera-
ban su muerte de un momento a otro.
Para tener dinero con que comprar
lnejor alimento, Sc puso trabajar en-
la carcel hacienda chucherias de Grin
de caballo, como los demas prisioneros.
Fara venderlas principle a escribir car
tas comerciantes cuyos nombres veia
en- Las revistas. Obtuvo tan buenos re-
sultados con sus cartas, que no solo
consiguio vender todo 10 que el manu-
facturaba sino tambien todo 10 que ma
rufscturaban los demas prisioneros de
la penitenciarfa.
Luego descubri6 Eytinge que sus car
tas tenian una gran fuerza de convic-
ci6n y de arrastre. Decide ofrecer car
tas comercisles que los fabricantes po.
dian usar como circulares para impul-
sar las ventas. Tuvo. 6xito inmediato,.

! Con sus propias cartas vigorosas vendia
srs otras cartas comerciales.
I Como Eytinge lego tener tanta co
rrespondencia, las autoridades de Ia
carcel lie prohibieron que escribiera
mas de dos cartas al mes. Este fue, en-
realidad, un servicio que Sc lie hizo.
Teniendo obligadamente mas tempo
que dedicar cada carta, logro que
tstas fueran obras maestras.
Para que Sc juzgue del poder de la
pluma de Eytinge baste decir que con
una sola carta consigui6 hacer que la
persona a quien Sc la dirigia abandona-
Ia la bebida, siendo que era un bebe-
dor inveterado. Con otra, carta consi-
guio para este regenerado de parte de
lin extraflo un puesto de responsible
dad, con buen sueldo.
La fama de Eytinge escritor de car
tas comerciales, de avisos folletos de
propaganda Sc hizo pronto nacional
Su iibro ''Como dar vida y traje de-
cente las cartas", Sc considera la
mejor obra de esta naturale7a.
Ademas, Eytinge ha escrito algunos
fotodramas que han slcanzado gran
cxito que han eontribuido darle
gran popularidad.
Debe agregarse que al crecer Eytin-
ge inte,ectualmente ha crecido tam
bien moralmente. A pesar de que ha
ganado mucho dinero, no conserva ma
ga para el; todo 10 ha invertido en-
aliviar la condicion de los deIaas pri-
Gioneros de la penitenciaria.
Ahora Eytinge sale de la carcel, no
perdonado precisamente, sino zen pa
role', es decir bajo su palabra de que
no Ia de huir y de que ha de presen-
tarse las autoridades respectivas.
AL prisionero Sc lie ofrec16 su empleo
mientras estaba en- la carce.. Y no solo /
esa sino muchas ofertas recibi6 para
tan pronto como saliera de la peniten-
ciaria, 81 es que alguna vez salia.
Y ahora esta afuera, en- ell amplio
mundo, hbre. les una cadena para el
que llevara donde quiera que vaya el
recuerdo de su pasado? lilo va re-
cibir ell mundo con hostilidad? Mo. va
Il ser recibido con carifio. Mientras es-
taba en- la carcel cu,tivo amistad, per
con gran ntlmero de
personas distinguidas. Ell empleo que
ha sceptado jefe del departamnto de
avisos de una casa imporante, lie ofre-
ce una posici6n de resoonsabilidad.
La gente que sepa de su pasado 30
tratara con respeto porque sabra tam
bi@n la historic de su regeneration.

The above order was received yes terday by Deputy Marshal Ralph Reed, from Chief Fur Warden Walker of Juneau, indicating that a closed season will be placed on beaver, espe- cially thru the winter months The order, while good one, will work a hardship of many trappers, who have left for the hills and will be not aware of the new ruling until they re- turn in the spring with their furs
 No date has been set in the order for the closed season to start, but it is expected that this will be announc- ed later.
 It is declared that the order was caused by many trappers last winter destroying the beavers houses and dams, starving whole colonies.
