Donkey minders and a moral tale from old times

A distorted tale describes donkey-keeping boys in a clothing shop window turning the display into a season long scheme. A substitute boy replaces the original minder, rises to head of the trade, then a new wealthy owner replaces him, sparking a clash over who should run the display. Separately a French note discusses rising mental diseases linked to alcohol, citing Dr Charles Fore on beer and absinthe, bars, effects on infants, and embryonic development in a harsh tone.
