Our Daily Sport Story

with glass showcases halt in front or the millinery store next door. Before night the cases had been in- stalled and filled. every one of them. with the trust cigars. Miss Childs. now no longer a milliner. stood behind the counter. dispensing cigars and smiles in a way that made Langley feel sick at heart.
 During the next week Langley's trade fell off distressingly. And no wonder, when the shop next door was selling five-cent cigars three for ten and ten-cent cigars four fora quarter. to say nothing about the smiles that were given so lavishly with each pur- chase. Of course, Langley met the cut in prices; but the half-hearted grin he gave away was not nearly so valuable to the smokers as was the charming smile they received next door. The natural consequences were that Lang leys trade dropped off more and more each day; and the business soon fell back to a point where, instead of sup porting itself and Langley. 1t supported neither.
 It was just four weeks after Lang ley's defy to the trust that Rockway | again blew into the store.
 Business pretty good. Langley?" he asked. after answering the youg mans l surly nod with broad smile. Heard you wanted to sell out. I'd like to make you an offer. but can't. you know. We've made a contract with the young lady next door to sup ply her with cigars at the market price | for ten years. By-the-way, a pretty shrewd business woman she is. too. Made us agree not to sell to anyone
 else in this block for the whole term of the contract But that's all right l guess. She's doing a dandy busi- ness: that's what she Is. Oh. well. old fellow, if you don't care to discuss it-ta-ta. I think I see your finish, and pretty soon, too"
 l Langley spent a bad night. There were two notes falling due next month and he had heard from good authori- ty that thew had been bought by Rock way. Truly Langley found bucking
 the trust a very unproitable occupa- | tion.
 Next morning he started for the
 store early. As he was in the act of
 passing the one-time millinery shop,
 he heard an energr tic banging at the
 door. Turning. he saw sweet
 though rather flushed face bending
 over a lock while two white, dimpled

Cures Snake Bites.

Since 1860 permanganate of potash has been used as a chemical antidote in cases of snake bite. An experimental investigation of the value of this sub stance has been made by Sir L. Brun- ton. Sir J. Fayrer and l.. Ropers
 Brunton devised an instrument that might be used in cases of snake bite It consists of lancet shaped blade about half an inch long, long enough to reach the deepest point of a bite by the largest snake. Two wooden cups are fitted over the ends of the instru- ment one to keep in the permanga- nate, and the other to protect the lance. Such an instrument might be carried In the pocket and used by even the ignorant natives of the snake in- fested locality. The plan proposed is to make a free opening at the site of manganate The limb Is first sur rounded with q tight bandage above the bite. The puncture of the teeth should be freely cut into and the crys- tals of permanganate introduced and rubbed about. a few drops of saliva being added. The value of the above method of treatment was experiment. ally tested on animals The venoms of nine varieties of snakes were employ ed Tn the cases of each ten or more lethal doses, and in the most of them twenty lethal doses were neutralized by very small quantities of permanga- nate in solution and thus rendered harmless These experiments prove that this agent acts on all classes oi snake venom and renders them inert The experiments were performed or rabbits, pigeons and cats.

BUCKING THE TRUST.
BY W. Y. SHEPPARD.

(Copyright, 1904, by Daily Story Pub.
 Langley had a cigar store on Locust street It had taken him two years to raise the business to point where it could support itself and Langley. When 1t arrived at that point his sole ambition was to raise 1t one notch higher: that is. to where 1t could sup port itself and Langley. and at the same time pay off each month part of the debt which had descended upon them during the period of nonsupport.
 For a time 1t seemed as if Langley would succeed, as he was an enterprise ing. energetic young fellow, shrewd beyond years. Then one day MT. A. P. Rockway. the local representative of the cigar trust, blew into his store.
 He had heard that Langley was push ing a local brand of cigers to the det- riment of the trust goods.
 Look here, Langley" said the trusts man, this has got to stop. like you we'll enough personally; but busi- ness Is business
 Langley tried to explain that the increasing demand for the local cigars was not duo to any effort of his. But Rockway knew better.
 You've got to cut Turner and Co., s goods out" he said. "or we'll cut you"
 Now Langley was not a man to be dictated to. and he fired up right away.
 If you think you can do 1t, go ahead" he retorted. I've got the only cigar store in the block. And what's more you can't rent a store in this block. They're all leased except Miss Child's. the millinery shop. next door: and she owns that. Now. If you think you can run me out. try it."
 We'll try it, and we'll do it," snapp. ed the trust man, as he flung himselt out of Langley's store.
 Two days later Langley was great ly surprised and a good deal chagrined at seeing a big transfer wagon loaded

Democracy Is United.

New York World
 Since the nomination in St Louis of Parker and Davis no more significant proof has been given that democracy is united in their support than Is af- forded by The Worlds canvass of the leaders of the great Palmer and Buck ncr movement in this State in 1896. Of eighty Democrats who were then willing to stand up and be counted" as preferring Democratic principles to the Democratic label only one now fla fors Roosevelt's election-a proportion smaller than the normal shifting Of suffrages in the average campaign.
 The vote of the national Democratic party in 1896 was not large. So many men wholly in sympathy with its aims preferred to support Mckinley outright that four years later no separate tick et was put by them into the field. Yet 1t is worth while to remember that in the decisive State of New York even the out-and-out Palmer and Buckncr vote was larger by comfortable mar gin than the plurality by which Theo- dore Roosevelt. with the laurels of Santiago fresh upon his brow was two years later chosen governor.
 The leaders in this State of the na- tional Democracy represent, however, not only the band that marched under their banner. but that great army Of independent voters who turned CleVe- lands plurality of 45,51S in 1892 into McKinley's plurality of 26S,469 in 1896. They are, moreover. men of such intel ligence, such prebity. such standing in the community as to invest with pecu- liar interest," the reasons they give for their present support of MT. Parker. The Worlds recent statement of the ten living questions of the campaign Is enforced and emphasized in these emphatic utterances:
 MT Coudert denounccs the doctrine that constitutional or interna tional Qaw) may be safely overridden. pro vided that the immediate end to be attained is expedient." Mir. Wheeler points out the inequality and injustice the fostering of great trusts. MT. Egg gleston fully agrees with The World that the paramount iseue is MT. Roosc- welt" and his abuse of power. MT Os-
 borne holds up ''centralized imperial ism'T as danger of continued Republi can rule MT. Belmont says that the
 savings of the people cannot bear the
 increase of 100 per cent. in the civil and miscellaneous list, 135 per cent. in
 the army, and 255 per cent in the
 Here, briefly stated. are six of the
 ten living questions. The others
 buster" What will the Filipinos do to us?' and Let us have peace'--are | by writer after writer brought forward as reasons for MT Parker's support | with a unanimity and an emphasis that ] show how profoundly the thinking men
 of this State are moved by the dan | gers involved in the candidacy of Theo- l dore Roosevelt.
 Not one in ten of these leading Dem ocrats mention the money question. There is no money question There was one. but 1t is settled There are l now neither CoId Democrats nor silver Democrats. There are simply Demo- crats, united and harmonious in a fed eral contest that powerfully appeals
 to the reason and the conscience of the | country.

We see 1t in the unrepublican schemes to conquer and hold in per manent subjection foreign peoples. in the abuses of executive power setting at naught the international policy of prudent hesitation In the recognition of revolutionary States. in the appropria- tion by mere executive order of mill lions of money which should have been held subject to Congressional disposi- tion-measures none of which would have been taken except for their sup posed bearing upon a Presidential elec- ton.
 How. indeed. can 1t be supposed to be possible that thi policy of private enrichment by public bounty can exist without bringing about union of all the forces which seek to participate in 1t sufficient to capture the power which distributes the bounty? How 1t Is possible for the masses of the people and the ranks of labor to be- hold the sudden widely removed from honest industry without suspecting that by some method the fruits of their labor have been diverted from them, and without becoming dissatis- fled. restless and uneasy at what they regard as an unequal distribution of the fruits of the nations industry? We have gone so far in the wrong direction that the difficulties in return ing have become extreme The mis- chievous chain of policies have in- jorities which single election cannot change. Moreover the industries of | the country built up upon an errone- ous system must not be imperilled by | a too sudden change.

THAT SULLIVAN BELT.

John l.. Sullivan's famous $1O,OOo Championship belt, rescued from the 3dust and neglect Of the pawnsnop,
 how shines forth again in all the daz- Ling splendor Of it's burnished gold and 'gIittering Jewels. It is in a Philadel- 3phia cafe. Jerry Donoghue is the pro 7prietor thereof. a strong man himselr, Ian admirer of fisticuffs, in the ring or |but of it, and an old-time friend of the Former big fellow. But it is not senti- .ment alone that caused MT Donoghue sto acquire the celebrated trophy. MT =Donoghue, unlike the champion to whom the belt was presented by the |citizens of an adniring country. IS a &business man. Donoghue would not Hell what he paid for the belt, but said: tT'll make $5O000 out of it. With Sullivan excluded from most of the
 vellow notes in circulation. this state knent was interesting. "How!' Elk |hibifing 1t at the St Louis fair" re- billed Donoghue. "The women want to
 See that belt I'll charge 10 cents ad- mission, sell pictures of John and a book Of his life. There's all kinds of [money in it." Donoghue is a very rich man. He made it all himself. No
 doubt he is right on the belt venture.

He is in poignant fear of discov- cry, he has a horror of ridicule, bis one dread is lest he make fool of himself. But woman is cheap chit indeed if she spends a thought on such nonsense; her abandon is superb.-The Queen
