YET ANOTHER DRINK CASE.
A correspondent sends the following. We quite agree with her. and can only wonder why the cure of the man was refused by the police and left to a private individual*— A man called at a home and asked for work and food, which he was given. iAter it was noticed that he was suffering from delirium tremens, and he asked my daughter if it wa~ there "where they killed all the chlidi Ml," etc. They rang up the police, an 1 were told that the man was harmless, anq to send him on. It was then night, so our son took charge of him, and shut him up in a room, where he ta'ked and raved all night, and threatened to take his life. In the morning he was seemingly sine, and proceeded on his way. This seems to me to be a dreadful thing that the police will arrest a man who is helplessly drunk, yet refuse to act when a man Is mad through drinking.
