Nature intended the face of Donald Houston for a handsome face; but when I saw it, it was racked by fierce passions, and I thought it a very evil countenance. We were traveling from the Rio Grande back to the eastern settlements of Texas, and stopped one noon at a small village. Only a few cabins were in sight, but around one of them 1 noticed a very un- usual number of horses tied. It was not altogether curiosity that led me to it; I thought it probable that either sickness or an accident occasioned the gathering, and that the medicine-chest in our camp might be of service. But as soon as I entered the log-build- ing, I knew no medicine could avail the still, covered figure lying upon the rude pine table. There was the sound of wo- men crying in an inner room, and about a dozen men were standing around. One among them was Houston. He was taller, handsomer, stronger than any one present. Whatever an Indian knew of woodcraft or prairie-craft, he Knew better; whatever a white man knew about stock, horses and firearms, he knew with an added shrewdness that made the superstitious frontiersmen call him ‘‘Donald the Terror.” Before I knew his history, I could see that some very unusual motive restrained these outspoken, reckless men both as to their actions and expressions; and if among the ignorant dwellers in lonely settlements there be any lingering belief in the influence of ‘‘the evil eye” I searcely wondered. Never before, or since, have I seen such eyes as Houston’s and such magnetizing and compelling glances. The bravest men there avoided them; it was strange to see them one by one succumb to their power, grow nervous and restless, and under the pretext of “looking for the judge,’’ wander out into the open air to free themselves from their influence. Donald’s arms were tied behind him with a piece of raw-hide, and he stood at the end of the table looking up at his living companions, and down at his dead one, with a mocking sneer, and a defiant bearing I have no words to express. The judge delayed his coming; they had been waiting his arrival three hours. The sympathetic, excitement which had called them together to hunt up and se- cure this red-handed murderer was very fast evaporating. Donald watched the group outside gradually augmenting, and probably he understood from their expressions and movements the tenor popular feeling was taking; for he looked steadily at me, and fairly compelled me by a slight movement of his head to approach him. I stood in a moment by his leaning upon the table, and shuddering at the bloody, still heap upon it. He looked down into my face with a sort of suppressed scorn for my fear of him, and said, ina low but singularly persuasive voice: ‘““My knifeis stillin its sheath, over my right hip—draw it, it is sharp as side, _GRAND RAPIDS, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 12,1891. ~—~—~—~=SNO. 412 death, cut my bonds and give me a chance | for life. You are a woman, eh?” I looked at the sheath. It was bloody; the handle of the knife was thick with bleod; not for gold uncountable could I have touched it. I turned sick; he thought | was going to faint, and whis- pered fiercely: “Don’t bea fool and a coward. Go into the next room and tell Ada to come here— quick!” This request I could obey. There were four women present—two of them in such grief that they were indifferent to my entrance; the others evidenced no curiosity and but seant courtesy. “Adar? 7 said. A woman on a low pallet lifted a child- like, innocent little face, all swollen and discolored with weeping. *‘Ada, some one wants you.”’ She rose immediately, and when I had again reached the outer room I saw her face almost touching Donald’s and the next moment she had drawn the knife and cut the rope. Donald had not judged wrongly. Not one man among the dozen was willing to take upon himself in cold, cautious blood the responsibility of crossing him. With a triumphant laugh, he strode toward some piled rifles, took one, put his knife between his teeth, untied a horse and deliberately mounted him. ‘Good morning, comrades,” he said, replacing his knife in his belt; ‘‘when you have tried my case you can let me know your sentence. Ada, little woman, go home, and take his widow with you. I had naught against her—do you hear?” ‘‘T hear, Donald.” No one stopped him; one or two even began to make an apology for interfering, which Donald cut short with a withering look of scorn; andin half an hour the self-appointed jury were riding in twos and threes over the prairie in different directions. In the meantime Ada put on her sun- bonnet, and, after a whispered con- versation with the widow of the murdered man, the woman mounted amule and rode quickly away. Then two men moved the table with its dreadful burden into an outer shed, and a woman began to slice bacon and put some yams into the ashes to bake. The incident, though evidently not al- lowed to interfere greatly with the regular routine of daily life, had left with every one an unpleasant, unhappy feeling. There was no civility to spare for strangers; the little community wished to be left alone with its tragedy. Therefore, in spite of the increasing cold, we determined to push on to the next settlement. It proved to be a large farm, or ranch, with far more than usual attempts at comfort and even elegance; and our little party joyfully accepted the pleasant welcome, with its abundant supper-table and cherry, blazing fire of fragrant cedar boughs. Sitting around it after a refreshing meal, I related the incident of Donald Houston’s escape. Our host started violently and heard me through with an anxious interest. When assured of his certain freedom he gave a sigh of relief and said: Oblige me by not mentioning this cir- cumstance before my wife.’”? And then, after a painful pause: ‘The poor, mis- | guided feilow married my little girl.” “Ts it possible? her?’’ ‘I could not help it. She loves him.’’ ‘‘Butyou will not now take her home again?”’ “You may think it but lsay no. 1 would leave him for the world: shut the kingdom of Heaven forever against him. There’s good even in Donald Houston, and if there is a woman How could you let strange, ma’am, not ask her to it would be to in the world can touch that good, it is my little Ada. The fault with Donald Houston is he had too much of his mother’s blessings.’’ I looked incredulously at the speaker and touched tenderly the silky curls of the baby on my own knee. ‘I mean whatI say; let me tell you how: Twenty-seven years ago there was a colony of Scotch shepherds settled in this county, and among them one called John Houston. Hitherto his wife and he had known only the hardest and barest existences among the eternal mists and mountains of the Mull of Kintire. The rich land, the plenty and sunshine, the great herds and rapid increase of wealth were like a fairy tale to them. They grew rapidly rich, and, to crown their good fortune, they had ason. Six children they had had before, but all of them lay in the kirkyard of Macintyre: this one, however, was a fine boy, ‘war- like an’ lifelike,’ as the old man proudly said. ‘‘He grew up to be a very hansome lit- tle lad, and the father and mother fairly worshiped him. All that theirown youths had wanted they crowded never had a wish ungratified. This was not the worst part of his training; he was allowed to rule the whole place, father, mother and servants, and having natur- ally a love for authority, he soon became a petty tyrant of the very worst descrip- tion. As he grew up he chose his own com- panions, and they were just the ones he should not have chosen—wild, bad men, who courted him for his abundant pocket-money, and taught the beardless boy the most abandoned habits. Yet his wild name, his tyranny, his superiority in all deeds of sinful daring, rather de- lighted than alarmed the foolish couple. All their own youth had been passed in servile bondage to ‘the laird and the gentry; their Donald’s insubordination to all restraint was a visible assurance that he at least was free from the social slavery of his ancestors. into his; he “But the spirit of license, once let loose, is not easily bound. Donald hay- ing ruled at home, would not submit at school. He defied all his teachers, and absolutely refused to compass his fath- er’s highest ambition and study for one 2 of the learned. professions. Then at | length John Houston, a dour, stiff- necked Highiandman, undertook to undo the long course of indulgence and diso- bedience. But the boy whom at six years of age he could have easily con- trolled, at sixteen defied him. “Then there were quarrels which shocked every one, and almost broke the poor old mother’s heart, and the Houston family were at once the most prosperous and most miserable in the county. Final- ly, when General Walker went to Nicara- gua, Donald insisted on raising a com- pany and going to. In vain the old peo- ple scolded and lamented. Donald took what money he needed out of his fath- er’s desk, left a note acknowledging the theft, and was gone. “You could now imagine nothing more miserable than this lonely old couple. They blamed one another continually. Dame Houston said: ‘The old man’s flit- ing and gibing had driven the puir lad- and the old man said: ‘The dame had spoiled him sae, that he was fit for nae ither com- pany.’ ‘‘Months and months rolled away, and they heard nothing from their runaway. It might be two years afterward that the house we lived in either took fire, or was set on fire. It was but a light structure —for we were slowly building this one when hands were idle—and I knew at once there was no hope of saving it. The light, however, attracted a party camp- ing on the creek below, and they came up ina body to offer their help. Sud- denly some one noticed that Ada, my eldest child, was not present, and | knew she must be in the blazing house. I failed to reach her, but a young man among the strangers brought both me and Ada out safe, though insensible. That man was Donald Houston. You die awa’ ’mong the savages;’ have seen how handsome he is; do you wonder now my little girl loved him. ‘‘He went home, but things did not im- father, all too late, had taken a certain stand: He would do prove. The nothing for Donald unless he gave cer- tain pledges of good behavior, which the lad absolutely refused. Then he joined a tough gang of Rio Grande traders. He made a good deal of Ada, and settled down steadily, as I hoped, to sheep-raising. People gener- ally, however, were against him; he had a masterful way hard to bear, and was so passionate and quarrelsome no one money, married eared to neighbor him.”’ ** Perhaps,’ I said, ‘the may now go home to his father and mother for help and advice again.” **] think not. on earth that have not a particle of influ- lf there are two people ence over him to-day, it is the father and mother whom he ruled as a baby and bullied asa boy. He will come and see me to-morrow, and I shall have to send him across the river till this thing blows over.’’ ‘‘It is a sad story,” I said, and I could not help recalling, with a pitiful regret, the handsome, willful criminal with his wealth of neglected and abused powers. But on I went in a few hours. It was hardly likely that I should see or hear of Donald Houston again. See him | never did; but some time after, I met my host of a night on Broadway.

TRAVERSE Ciry, Aug. 10.—The Grand Traverse Bay country has seen severe droughts in years gone by, but the ‘‘dry spell’ of 1891 is the most serious ever experienced here. The good crops and high prices of 1890 put our farmers in excellent condition, financially, but the present drought promises to put them as far back as they were a year ago. Unless rain comes soon, the forests will be fear- fully denuded, as fires are now beginning to run in all directions. Hon. Perry Hannah is making arrange- ments to begin the erection of the hand- somest residence in this section of the eountry, work on which will be begun about Sept. 1. The building will have a marble foundation and a wooden super- structure, costing in the neighborhood of $35,000. It is designed by Architect tobinson, of Grand Rapids, and will be construeted under the supervision of J. W. Hilton, our loeal architect. Frank Hamilton leaves Wednesday for afortnight’s trip to Boston and New York, for the purpose of buying goods for the fall and winter trade. Herbert Montague is entertaining the family of Stephen A. Sears, of Grand Rapids, this week. Building operations show no diminu- tion, the noise of hammer and saw greet- ing the ear from every point of the com- pass. > 2? <— Salt Inspection for July.

The following decision of the ease of Dr. E. R. victed of selling Supreme Court in the Moorman, who was con- drugs without register- ing according to law. ‘The decision was in by the other Justices: October 30, 1889, at Belding, lonia county, James H. Kin- nane, employed by the State Board of Pharmacy to prosecute violations of the | } | ' THE MICHIGAN TRADESMAN. the business of a pharmacist; that the | confining of the sale of patent medicines to pharmacists and retail dealers of three years standing grants a monopoly is the full text of tele a favored few and for no _ ade- quate reason,and that it is alse an ob- ject in the law not embraced in the title which reads ‘‘An act to regulate the practice of pharmacy in the State of | Michigan.” written by Judge Morse, and concurred | the village of | here is much force in both of these objections to this provision of the law; but itis not shown that the respondent | was charged with vending patent medi- pharmacy law, went into the drug store | of Spencer Bros. and asked for half an ounce of ales and myrrh, which was furnished him by the respondent. Neither of the Spencer Bros. were present, nor was there a registered pharmacist in the store at the time this tincture was put up. A short time afterward on the same cines or that the drugs sold by him were such medicine. If this provision was eliminated from the act it would heve no eifect whatever upon the conviction of | the respondent, as the remainder of the act would not be invalidated thereby. Under the law as originally enacted in 1885, the sale of patent medicines was expressly excepted from the act. In '1887 the law was amended so as to ex- day Kinnane again went into the store | co. - ' | medicines who had sold them for three and called for an ounce of tincture of iodine and one ounce of carbolie acid, the same being in the language of the} a ce . . + | leave 88? i record, ‘“‘drugs, medicines and poisons. = the law of 1885 in force saw respondent | a : i |es the pharmacy board to fix the license Kinnane afterwards and asked him if he was a registered pharmacist or registered assistant, and he said he was not: that he was a prac- ticing physician and registered as such, and considered that he had a right to dispense such drugs without being a registered pharmacist, and that the laws of Michigan would protect him in so do ing. The court refused to direct a of not guilty on these facts, upon a trial of respondent in the Ionia Circuit Court, upon an appeal from justice court where he was tried and convicted for violating the pharmacy law. The respondent, Moorman, in his de- fense admitted the facts stated and showed that he was a reputable physi- cian of three years practice, now regis- tered in Ionia county; that he had ten years experience as a pharmacist years ago, that he sold the drug without any wilful intent to violate the law, but rely- ing upon his right to do so because of be- ing a registered physician; that Kinnane was not his patient and he did not fur- nish him the.drugs as a patient. He testifies that any reputable physi- cian should be able and is able to com- pound medicines and poisons and pre- pare his own prescriptions and the pre- scriptions of any other physician; and that the sale of patent medicines is no part of the business of a practicing phar- macist. In this he was corroborated by the testimony of Henry Fremays as a practicing physician, for fifteen years a resident of Ionia, who also testified that the tincture of iodine and carbolie acid were not used in coloring and tanning. Charles Thompson, a registered phar- macist residing at Ionia, testifies that the sale of patent medicines was not ;to this objection. in | business empt only those retail dealers in these years or more. If this amendment should be declared unconstitutional in would 2. Itis claimed that the law authoriz- fees arbitrarily and to make a distinction in their discretion between different in- dividuals. We do not think that the law is open It is provided that ‘the said board may grant under such rules and regulations as it may deem proper, at a fee not exceeding one dollar, verdict | the certificate of registered assistant, to clerks or assistants in pharmacy not less than 18 years of age.” Section 7 of this act provides for a yearly fee to be paid said board which shall not exceed one dollar for a pharmacist, and fifty cents for an assistant, such registration fee to be fixed by the board. Neither of these sections contemplates that the board may charge one person one cent and an- other one dollar, as contended by respon- dent’s counsel. The fee must be uni- form, applying to all persons of each class alike, and there is no evidence in the record that the practice of the board has been otherwise. 3. The main objection to the act, and the only one which in this case concerns | the respondent, is that the law deprives a registered physician of the right to compound, put up and sell drugs and medicines, which it it must be considered from the nature of his profession he is thoroughly competent to do. It is also claimed that he has a vested right to do this, which the Legislature cannot de- stroy. So much of the act as applies to physicians reads as follows: ‘“Noth- ing in this act shall apply to or any manner interfere with the of a practicing physician who does not keep open shop for | the retailing, dispensing or compounding necessarily any part of the business of aj} pharmacist; that any who could read | could sell them as well as a person who} had three years experience or any other term of years. That patent medicines are usually kept in pharmacies. This, in substance, is all the testimony. close of the evidence requested the court of medicines and poisons, or prevent him from supplying his patient such articles as may seem to him proper.”’ Under this act, if a physician wishes |to keep open shop, or in other words a | drug store, he must come under thesame regulations as other persons, and he has /no more right than any other person to The counsel for the respondent at the | to direct a verdict of not guilty, on the! ground that the law was unconstitution- aland void. This request was refused and the court instructed the jury that if they found the respondent sold iodine and carbolic acid, and that the same was used for coloring and tanning, that they should find a verdict of guilty, and the step into a drug store and to compound or sell drugs, medicines or poisons to one not his patient. It may be that he | is as competent to do this as a registered pharmacist or his registered assistant, but he has no vested right todoso. The | law, as I understand it, does not inter- | fere with him in the legitimate practice | tered. case comes here upon exceptions before | judgment. It is admitted by the counsel for the defendant in his argument that a law in this State is needed, and the right | of the Legislature to pass such an act is not denied. present law is, however, attacked upon several grounds. We shall take them up in the order named in the defendant’s | brief. 1. Thelaw provides that no person shall vend patent or proprietary medi- cines by retail unless he has been in the business of vending and retailing such medicines three years or more. The constitutionality of the | | cine. of his profession in which he is regis- If he wishes todo more than this, he must comply with all the reasonable regulations of the pharmacy act. The right to regulate the practice of pharmacy certainly rests upon as good reason and as sound principle as the right to regulate the practice of medi- This latter right was sustained by | this courtin the People vs. Phippen, 70 Mich. 6, and in that case a law was up- | held which must be said in its provis- | ions to be much more arbitrary and un- reasonable than the one now before us. And in the People vs. Phippen, supra, it was substantially held that no person, ino matter how long he had been in the It is claimed that the selling of such | practice of his professton, had a vested ~
