The Dispensary Followed B) \
Prohibition.
A fev.- years ago. by legisla
tive enactment, saloons were
abolished in Cumberland coun
ty and a dispensary.established, j
There was bitter opposition to I
the dispensary, and as soon as!
the next Legislature 'met, a de-j
t j rmincd tight was made to have
it abolished and the old order of)
things established. This failed.;
and then the anti-dispen- j
sary people secured the passage |
of an act abolishing the dis-;
pen-ary and giving th.e county
absolute prohibition with a pro- i
vision that the matter should be 1
determined by popular vcte of
the county at the next general
election. It was the expecta
tion, of course that prohibition
would fail. But lo! and be-!
hold, when th.e election was|
held recently in Cumberland;
there was 1,842 votes for prohi
bition to only 532 against it.
Doubtless the liquor men, who)
.•stablished prohibition, wish j
now they had let that dispen-j
sary alone.
In Macon county also a dis-}
pensary was established somej
time ago. In this, case, how-J
ever, if wo remember aright, i
the anti-prohibition element got 1
the dispensary because they j
could not get the open saloon, j
The prohibition element- opposed J
it. and' at the recent election,
i the dispenserv was voted out
j.iud prohibition takes its place.

Following close on the ap
palling destruction of St. Pierre
bv Pelee and tlio havoc wrought
on the Island of St Vincent by
La Soufriere, the outbreak of
the volcano Santa Maria in
Gautamaula is a matter of the
greaetst possible? interest to sci
entists. Dr. Edward 0. Hovey
of the American Museuili of
Natural History, who was one
of tlie first on the scene ot Ma -
unique's disaster, said that,
while there was undoubtedly
some coansctio i between the
volcanic outbreak in West In
dies, and the vo'canic outbreak
in Central America, it was not
clear just what it was. In re
spo :-e to an inquiry whether as
ai .oult of their investigations
in;o the tragedy of St. Pierre
scientists had evolved any new
theories about volcanic ; ction,
he replied succinctly, "Bunches
of them !" Bud he adnf.tte 1 also
that the theories were merely
theories, and that while there
were as many of them as there
were men in a position to theor
ize, none of thein could as yet
be regarded as sufficiently sub
stantial for general scientific
acceptance.
Prof, lleilprin, who made
perhaps, tli9 most exhaustive
investigations of the outbreaks
of Pelee and Soufriere and was
an eyewitness to several sub
sequent eruptions—iu fact, it
was at one time feared that he
had lost his life in one of them
regards the activity of Santa
Mara as confirmation of the the
ory to which his investigation
has led him. He believes that;
the unwonted vo'canic upheav- i
als iu tropical North America
are all surface manifestations
of extensive changes that are
taking place in the ocean bed, j
changes that will involve a con-;
siderable subsidence of the Car- j
ibbean sea.
According to Prof. Heilprin, j
the lesser Antiliies are the out- j
crop pings of a subterranean
northeasterly extension of the
Andean mountain range. The is j
lands are merely the tops of
particularly lofty peaks. To ;
his mind the Andes when they!
reach Colombia, are divided,'
one branch being shorily sub- j
merged and only here and there j
pushing a peaic above the seaj
level; the other, the main |
branch, extending up the entire
Pacific Coastlines of Central|
and North America and eventu-!
ally making its way over to!
Asia byway of the Aleutian!
Islands.
This theory of the subsidence i
of the Caribbean involves the:
theory of settling of the ocean
bed in that part of the world,
and its cracking as it settles.
Through these great cracks it is
believed that the sea has leaked
in upon ;he superheated inte
; rior of the earth and vastquan
i titles of steam have been gener
lated which have forced a way
! out at various points in what,
geologists call the "line of
weakness," that is the line of
least resistance.

Are You Worth What YOJ Cost?
\ boy or girl is quite a costly
investment,even as far as money
is concerned. It would not be
a bad problem to esti
mate roughly just how
much you have cost your pa
rents during your life time,
count in your board and cloth
ing, vour doctor's bills, the
money that has been spent on
your pleasure,and yeu will open
vour when you come to add
up the different items.
But after all the money ex
penditure represents only a
small part of your cost. For
the first few years of your life
it took all of your mother's
time and strength to care for
you. llow she has watched
over you when you were sick !
What anxious thought has been
septit in giving you the very
best sort of training ! Many a
man has made a- fortune with
I less pains and hard work than
jhas bekn spent on you.
You have cost a good deal.
That is settled, and the next
I question is, are you worth it?
! Sometimes we hear of wealthy
! men spending a fortune to pur
! chase a single painting or jewel.
| When we come to make inquir
-1 ies we find that the painting is
a masterpiece and sure to ap
preciate in value as time passes,
or that the jewel is flawless and
worth all that was paid for it.
But sometimes men spend great
sums on paintings that arei
poor imitations of the old mas
ters, or 011 paste diamonds, and
then- the world concludes that
they have been taken in and
pities them accordingly.
Are you worth what you have
cost? This is a question to
think about. The sham jewel
cannot make itself over, 'ut
: boys and girls who have been
j thoughtless and carelsss in the
j past can resolve that in the fu
jture they will be worthy of all
that has been done for them.
