Dispensary or Prohibition.

The following words by Rud-
yard Kipling, the poet, ought to be
read with greatest interest by
every father in our country. We
are now on the eve of an election
which will decide whether we are
to have in our county a dispensa-
ry or prohibition; whether we
shall allow whiskey sold according
to law, or whether we shall by a
vote Of the people protect our
young men and young women from
this temptation which is now
Dragging SO maEy down to dastruc-
tion.
Kipling was not a prohibition
ist, be drank his wine aad beer,
till he saw that by his life he was
helping on the ruin of so many
others. In this way he became a
prohibitionist out ard out. I be-
-lieve that no one who will weigh
the subject in the light Of interest
in the morals of our young people
can do else than cast vote for
prohibition. Lets do what we can
and save our young people from
strong drink.

Stand By The Cotton Growers
Association Instead of Su1y.

We would caution the farmers
not to follow after strange gods,
such as Sully, the Wall Street
speculator. Better by far stand
by the cotton growers association
which had its origin in the south,
is composed of southern men,
chiefly cotton growers, and has
only one aim: the promotion
first, last and always-of the agri-
cultural interests of the south.
Tie present prosperity of our peo-
pie, in spite of th., short crop, is
due almost entirely to the work of
this association.
1t is true that Mr.. sully put
millions into the pockets of the
cotton producers two years ago.
That, however, was incidental. As
a manipulator or speculator be
was 'ebull'' and for q: time had
everything going his way; as re-.
suit, the farmers, aR we'll as Mr..
Sully, were benefited. But there
is no denying the fact that be is
reckless speculator and, like all

TAPEWoRMs MAKE PEARLS.
Presence of the Gems in Oysters Said to Be Due to These Dead
 Larva,

Prof. Herdman's recent investiga- tions on the subject of pearl forma- ton have yielded some interesting con- elusions, states the London Globe. h the great majority of cases 1t appears that the pearl is due to the presence in the oyster of marine tapeworm. When the spherical larya of the worm dies naereous matter is deposited round it. and the resulting mass is known as a pearl. The life history of the tapeworm is continued in the bod ies of certain species of file fish which prey on the oysters. These file tsh, again, are devoured by fsheating rays or sharks. In these latter the tape worm becomes mature. and sets free numerous embryos into the sea These finally enter the oysters. and so com pIete the life cycle.
 The small so-calIed seed" pearls are caused by the deposition of nacreous matter round small crystals formed in certain muscles of the oyster. Per hsps the most important result of Porf. Herdman's work from the scien- tifc standpoint is the establishment of a marine biological station at Gale for further research.

BURGLAR WAS MUSICAL.
Betrayed His Love of the Piano by Giving a Nocturnal
 Concert.

The tenant of villa in an outlying suburb of Hamburg was aroused from his sleep by the sounds of extraor- dinarily good piano playing issuing from an adjoining sitting-room.
 He went to the door and saw lag ged, disreputabIe-looking fellow seat ed before the i9isng !andrflaythgcHRne del's Messiah" with remarkable skill. A number of other pieces followed in low key, the nearer standing at the door, charmed and mystified by the talent of the mysterious performer.
 Suddenly the man broke of with a shrill discord, and, throwing himself across the piano, burst into bitter tears. When the owner entered the room the musician started up in alarm and attempted to escape.
 He finally confessed that music had been his profession, but that. led away by bad company, he had eventually turned to burglary.
 He had only lately come out of prison, and had broken into the house in order to steal When he saw the piano, however, his old love came back, and he had begun to play, un- conscious of his surroundings.
 The gentleman finally promised to help the talented burglar to follow a more honest career.
