Miss Debors King Knox of this city
is rapidly acquiring widespread rep
utation in the various fields of temper
ance and mission work and it may not
be out Of order at this time to say q
word regarding the history Of this very
energetic lady. Miss Debora King
Knox is descendant OF John Knox,
and was born in Glasgow, Scotland.
Her early education was acquired in
the public schools of that city. She
arrived in this country in company
with her parents in 1884, and after CON-
pleting an academic course taught in
many OF the schools Of this State and
Connecticut. Last year Miss Knox
graduated from the New York Mis-
sion, >vy Training School, and afser the
State con> -sntion was chosen president
of the Pawtuc <et Union. Miss Knox
has recently returned from the ma
tional w. q. Il. U. convention held In
st. Louis. Her Sundays are unsnally
spent in delivering addresses and the
remaining days are taken up with eu-
gagements relating TO her work.

The express wagon that carries the
mail to the depot in the evening is
driven at dangerous rate of speed
through the streets, at this time of the
year crowded with shoppers. While it
is acknowledged that mail wagons have
the right OF way at all times, it would
appear that the driver takes advantage
of that fact or the closing Of the mail
is too near the time of the departure OF
the train on which it is scheduled to
leave. While Uncle Sans messengers
should have the right Of way, it il
hardly necessary to impress the public
with that fact at the risk of breaking
their necks.

A HUMAN

When the blood becomes impreg-
mated with rheumatic ~(lactic) acid, it
is influenced very largely by chang
ing atmospheric conditions, every
variation of the temperature produc-
ing more or less effect on the system.
The changes which precede damp or
cold weather are especially noticea-
BILE, hence the body when it becomes
rheumatic can reasonably be likened
to a barometer. 1t is customary
among persons who are victims of
chronic rheumatism to apply external
remedies whenever the spasms ap-
pear, but to make no effort at a per-
manent cure. There is no reason why
the body should be afflicted with
rheumatism any more than any other
disease. Rheumatism is entirely cur
able if the right remedy is used. In
upwards of half a century of constant
use LALLEMAND's SPECIFIC for RHEU-
MATIsM and NEURALGIA has shown
c~onclusively that it is the very best
remedy for this disease. 1t not only
gives quick relief, but it strikes d.
rectly at the root of the trouble-the
Tactic acid in the blood, rapidly de-
stroying and Graduating it. When
the rheumatic acid is once thoroughly
removed from the system the disease
is cured, hence the paroxysms can
not return. Price, s1.o0 per vial. Sold

THE laws against trusts must be en-.

THE laws against trusts must be en-
forced. Because money is placed in
corporations is no reason that 1t should
be unjustly attacked, but the laws
against trusts formed for the purpose
of expressing the consumer must be
rigidly enforced. The nail trust has
worked great hardship on builders of
homes throughout the entire country.
Wire nails were selling at so cents q
key when the trust vas formed, and
their makers were reaping q good
profit. Out nails were selling at 70
cents, also with o satisfactory profit
to the makers.
But these rich men wanted more.
They wanted what did not belong to
them. They wanted other peoples
money, Just ~ other robbers do, and
they planned to take it with as little
compunction as other robbers feel in
the prosecution OF their business.
They combined to form a monopoly,
to exclude competition and to compel
the people to pay them many millions
OF dollars for nothing.
They pat up the price of wire nails,
worth 60 cents q keg, to s2.55 q keg,
and that Of cut nails, worth 10 cents,
60 e2.25 . ksg. That ID TO say, they
extorted from the mechanics, the

,piers Of the country &1.75 Of unearned

WAGON TONGUE
The Basis of a Swindle Worked on
Ohio Farmers.

SPRINGFIELD, o., November 3O.-A
clever swindle is being worked in this
and adjoining counties. Swindler No.
1 calls on a farmer with a patent
wagon tongue, and offers to sell him
the right of the county for $3.50. He
tells them he is on his way home, and
if he wants it to write him. In a few
days Swindler No. 2 comes along. He
has heard of the farmer having the
right for the county for the patent
wagon tongue, and as he made a good
thing out of it in Pennsylvania he Of
fers him s40O, and pays $40 to bind
the bargain. The farmer writes to
No. 1, and sends him his note for
$3.50. He never hears of the two men
again, but in due time his note comes
up for collection in a neighboring
town, and he is out s24o.

WHAT IT COSTS.
The Immense Sums That New York
Spends Every Year.
From the New York Herald.

From the New York Herald.
The daily expenditures of New
Workers, as detailed in a recent article
in the Herald, may be summarized in
a very small space, and will be found
extremely interesting.
We spend $1,000, 900, more or less,
every day in the year for a few COM
forts and a great many luxuries. This
sum has no relation to house rent or
to the butcher, the baker, the CANDLE
stick maker or to tailors' or dress
makers bills.
1t costs US $4,000 daily to put milk
and cream into our coffee, and in or
der to produce the 10000 quarts a
herd of lao, 900 cows must be housed
and fed.
We eat each day 100000 pounds of
meat of all kinds and somewhere near
1000, 900 pounds of bread. That is
S75, 900 worth of the one and $500 0
worth of the other.
We spend close upon $4,000 a day
for the privilege Of either having q
seat L the street carr or holding on to
the straps thereof. Those who can
afford to take a cab pay out $1s, 900
for the pleasure of doing so.
We pay $4,000 a day to be shaved,
$500 for our "shines," and, wonderful
and woeful to relate, 5000 for chewing
gum.
For the liquor and wine we drink
we expend about $4,000 a day,
which, multiplied by 1855, makes a snug
little sum-. OF course we smoke, and
it is safe to say that our tobacco costs
us $4,000 from every breakfast time
to midnight.
We do not leave any too much at
the box office of theaters-only $50, 900
per day-and we always get more
than our moneys worth.
We are also fond of "chips," and
the fun we have with them causes
$50, 600 each night to drop from the
pocket of the loser into that of the
winner.
There you have a short history of
every "a hours in this great and gior-
ious metropolis.

ENORMOUS APPLE cRop.
Experts Say It Will Reach from ons
Hundred and Twenty to Two
Hundred Million Barrels.

CHICAGO, ILL, November 3O.-South
Water street merchants have figured
out several interesting facts about
this years apple crop. Their mini
mum estimate of its volume is 100.
000, 900 barrels and their maximum
200, 000, 900 barrels. Every patriotic
American, therefore, ought to eat It
least two barrels of this "healthiest
fruit on earth" Chicago's. receipts to
date III 5,oOO,o 900 barrels and storage
room lie full. Exports last year were
1,O00, 900 barrels. From four to ten
per cent will be made into cider.
Notwithstanding our own crop.
Canadian apples find q sale, because
some people must have whatever cost
most, especially If it is imported.
Nearly all of our enormous crop was
raised in the Northern States. Mich
igan, New York, New England and
parts of New Jersey, Ohio and Penn-
sylvania have broken all records this
year.
Patriots who set themselves to the
pleasant task of helping to consume
this home product will kill two birds
with one stone. The ssother bird.
in this cas- Is the doctor.
The apple has remarkable medicinal
properties. It excites the action OF
the liver, purifes the blood, obviates
Indigestion, helps the kidney secre-
tions, and II a-preventive Of throat
Diseases. 1t is an excellent brain
food, Astounding in phosphoric acid in
easily digestible shape. Next to the
lemon and orange it is the best anti
dote for thirst and cravings of per-
sons addicted to alcohol and opium.
It should be eaten just before going
to bed, as it promotes sound and
healthy sleep.
