mean the ruination OF a business val
ued at several hundred thousands of
dollars in this county. The same
kind OF an argument was advanced
against prohibiting the sale of cigar
cites in Indiana. 1t was claimed 1t
would mean great loss in revenue to
the cigar dealers. But the cigarettes
are forbidden now. The same line of
argument as to personal liberty was
advanced against the bill to forbid the
sale OF cigarettes as that proposed
against stopping the saloons. It was
declared that personal liberty would be
interfered with. The same talk Is
heard about the liquor traffic. The su-
preme court of Indiana has ruled that
the law does not prohibit the use of
cigarettes and those who want them
smoke them. Local option will not
prohibit absolutely the use OF intoxi-
cants either, but tends toward the pro-
lection of the masses.

SEISMIC WAVES.

And now the earthquake business
has commenced in Spain. For days the
seismographic machines in the observ-
atories all over the world have been
recording gigantic disturbances OF IT,
tan forces under the earths crust
Not long, ago there came a disturbance
OF such magnitude that the machines
could not register the shock. And yet
there was no perturbance on the land.
This simply meant that the earthquake
was an eruption under the sea or a
dropping OF the sea floor.
The fact that most of the earth
quakes do happen along the sea coast
that volcanic mountains are in that vi
cinity, and that many islands in the
great ocean are volcanic in their struc-
lures, has been an active agent in the
explanation of volcanic disturbances
by scientists.
They explain these matters very
simply. The seepage of the sea water
into the hot bowels OF the earth makes
supply of steam which can not es-
cape rapidly enough to prevent an ex-
plosion. What happens is simply the
same thing that happens when a boiler
bursts.
Just at present there seems to be a
surplus amount OF explosive steam to
be gotten rid of and those who live in
the neighborhood Of the danger spots
can expect nothing else but earth
quakes until this spree OF nature is
over.

THE CARTOON BELT.

A writer in the Bohemian Maya
zine for this month says: at is esti-
mated that over IS per cent. of the
cartoons reproduced are taken from
papers of the middle west. Therefore
the conclusion is reached that the mid
die west is the center of cartoonism
in this country" In this statement
the writer is correct.
1t should and is the pride Of Indiana
that in addition to being the birthplace
Of SO many of our current novelists, we
are also prolific in the matter of car
toonists. Of course all the cartoonists
can not be born in this state, but we
have very large percentage ranging
from the inimitable John r. McCutch-
con to the humblest distorter of the
likenesses of public men.
The time was when the cartoon was
form of political pamphleteering ex-
clusively. This was true even before
Thomas Mast invented the Tammany
Tiger and the G. o. p. elephant. The
cartoon today may be nothing but the
veriest incident of the cartoonist's pri-
vatelife-such as his missing a street
car.
When you come to think about it is
1t any wonder that in this part OF the
the country where we are not exact
ly 'effete' and can occasionally laugh
at our own weaknesses, that we should
breed cartoonists to help us resist the
matter OF taking ourselves seriously.
A cartoonist said the other day that
he never got SO many congratulatory
letters as when he touched on some
family episode. Then he got letters
saying that that very same thing had
happened in their household and that
they had looked at the matter in the
same way. All of which simply proves
that the most of us need only the facil-
lty Of technical ability to be cartoon
lists ourselves.

A NARSHAl'S BATON,
BY EDWIN A. NYE.

~ SANSnA6 = ONAOlNs
Garfield said he felt like taking OF
his hat to every poor newsboy he met
because of the possibilities under his
ragged jacket.
And Napoleon said there was mar
shal's baton in the knapsack of every
private soldier in his armies.
Whether Napoleon believed what he
said or was speaking for purpose we
may not know, but a recent writer
tells of two potentially great men who
did carry knapsacks in the emporer's
army.
One Of these veterans was named
Pasteur. who, after the battle Of Wa
terloo, returned to his trade as tan
ner. Denied the advantages Of an edu-
cation, he determined that his son
should have his chance. He worked
far into the night in order to send the
boy to school.
That son was Louis Pasteur, the
greatest chemist and psychologist Of
modern times.
The veteran Pasteur had more than
q marshal's baton in his knapsack.
There was another:
Napoleon died in q house on the
island Of st. Helena that was infested
with rats. To the everlasting shame
Of the allies, be 1t said, they stopped
to make his last days miserable. 1t
was the business of an Irish soldier
named Sullivan to scare away the rats
while the Little Corporal" lay on his
deathbed.
That Irish soldier was the GRANDPA
Their Of Sir Arthur Sullivan, whose
music has gladdened more hearts than
Napoleon desolated.
If Sullivan had written nothing but
1.-THE Lost Chord" he would have
soothed more souls Of men than Napo-
leon sent to their last account.
Napoleon strobe the world like a
Colossus. At the age Of twenty-six he
stopped the growl Of all Europe with
his whiplash, but
In Napoleon's army were men poten-
TALLY greater than he.
Despise not the day Of small things.
Look down upon no man.
The possibilities Of every human
soul are beyond the farthest dream Of
fancy.
It was the skeptical loafers of Jesus
time who t.sked. Can any good come
out of Nazereth?''

Benefit Of Open Saloons.

A Kansas man wandered into a sa-
loon in Chicago to inquire the method
Of picking pigs feet for cold lunches
when he met his long lost brother
serving as bartender. This argument
IN favor Of the open saloon should not
be lost on the Amalga mated Associa-
ton Of Juice Dispensers. If the incf-
dent had happened in Kansas and not
In Chicago the Kansas man would
have had to follow his brother down
the alley behind the livery stable in
the dark and might never have recog-
nized him as his brother. - Ottawa
