PEDDLERS GET A HAND.
Took About $500 from St. Johns
bury People for Furs and Couch
Covers at High Prices

About $500, enough to meet the
ordinary deficit of all the st. Johns
bury churches each year, has been
gratefully, almost gleefully given by
the good st. Johnsbury people to two
or three Jew peddlers, during the
last ten days The Philadelphia
Art Loom couch covers sold by two
stores in town at $3.50 have been
delivered to our people at prices
ranging from SIS to $65 each and
sold as imported silk rugs. Black
Belgian Hare fur sets advertised in
the Caledonian in September at
$3.50 have been distributed at $40
to $35 each and sold as Russian
Lynx worth anywhere from $65 to
500 a set.
Fur lined coats worth $65 to $165
have been exchanged for cash to
the amount of $25 to $50 according
to the generosity of the buyer, any
one of which can be duplicated by
our mems clothiers at SIT to $22,-

Various fears may also develop in
connection with the occupation of the
natiept-for instance, BARRIERS some
times suffer these attacks whenever
they see. Il razor. or telegra pliers when
they catch sight of their instruments
which finally necessitates giving up
the occupation.
Among women especially there oc-
ours the fear of dirt. contagion or in
lection. The countless bacteria always
present in the air are the chief source
of ANNOYANCE The patients are al
ways complaining of bad air and are
always throwing open the windows.
Books are especially avoided as a pos
sible source of contagion. In patients
with fear of injury they will throw
away all needles in the house or they
will no more wash windows for fear
that the glass might break and cut
them.
The intellect in these cases is not
only undisturbed but may be unusual
ly good. Patients exhibit throughout
a pronounced feeling of mental illness
and frequently a clear insight into the
morbidity of the individual symptoms.
The more common of the various
phobias as classified by Beard are as
follows: Claustrophobia. fear of mar
row or closed places; agoraphobla,
fear of open places; astraphobia, fear
of lightning; monophobia. fear OF be-
ing alone; pathophobia. fear OF d1s-
ease; mysophobia. fear of contamlna-
ton; interchangeable, fear OF rail-
road travel; acrophobia. fear of being
at a height or looking over precipices;
thanatophobia. fear of death.
It is to be emphasized that the pho
bias in question are not normal fears
based, as normal or natural fears are,
on some reasonable justify1ng expe-
rience. A reasonable and justifable
normal fear of lightning might arise
after the experience of having been al
some time in a house struck by light
ming.
Other fears, such as the fear of rid
ing in a buggy after having been in
runaway or the fear of voyage al
sea or railway after a frightful ship
wreck or railway accident, is more
or less natural or reasonable fear a.
the fear of hoodoos and ghosts L
among the superstitious or those &C
-customed to ghost stories and trad1
ton of goblin visitation. etc.
These fears do not require warped
brain for their Judgment, though TIT
weakened brain may be more VlV1dl!
impressed by them. To be regarded
as SYMPTOMS of disease these fear
must be groundless so far as 1ntiu
ences external to the brain are con
cerned. They must proceed from
morbid state Of the, brain and no
from properly exciting external causes
They must be fears peculiar to tn
individual under peculiar c1rcun
stances of cerebral disturbance an
not fear common to others and due t
causes that naturally cause alarm an
crighten.

A good farce, a good company,
pretty scenery and costumes and
some good looking girls thrown in,
all were seen in cover Night" at
The Colonial last week Tuesday eve
ming. The plot is light and the sit
uations while amusing are highly
improbable but nevertheless it was
a most satisfactory production and
had it not come so near to ''The
Gamblers the audience which saw
it would have been more in keeping
with the merits of the play.
1.-THE Gamblers" which was pre-
sented at The Colonial last Thurs
day evening was one of the best
plays of the season. The company
was a good one and portrayed their
characters in way that brought out
the manliness of a man who dared
too much and the villiany of man
whose ideal of reform was only per-
sonal advancement. A play and
company of the standard of ''The
Gamblers" should draw a full house
whenever they come to st. Johns
bury.

Then She Realized What 1t Really
Meant to Be Blind.


Were you ever blind for an entire
evening of your life-blind in the midst
of a jolly company who were sewing
and chatting and didn't in the least
realize your plight?'' asked a social
worker recently THAT was what

for the way her companions crowded
about me- felt my clothes. my hands
and my face and remarked everything

on. Nor was | surprised when my
friend conducted me through the class
rooms. pointing out the new work and
displaying some fine lace work she had

| she could see it all.
"But on this visit. for the first time,

was delighted to accept the invitation
and enjoyed the meal. which was serv-

my experience came. We walked from
the dining room into dim halls. and as
we mounted the stairs to the sitting

only grope my way awkwardly. once
in the sitting room l felt for chair

lights to be turned on. But the laugh

cernedly about me. and after few
minutes it dawned upon me that lights
were not necessary in an institution
for the blind at night: that the sitting
room was no darker for those girl:

Carlessness About Appendicitis in

St. JOhnsbury.
Many ST. Johnsbury people have
stomach or bowel trouble which is
likely to turn into appendicitis. If
you have constipation, sour stomach,
or gas on the stomach, try simple
buckthorn bark, glycerine, ETC., as
compounded in Adler-i-ka, the new
German appendicitis remedy. w. B
Eastman, druggist, states that A
SINGLE DOSE of this simple remedy
relieves bowel or stomach trouble al

press Idea % to Ordinance.

Washington, Sept. 10.-More light
on the application OF the Sherman
antitrust law to the business of the
day Is expected from the supreme
court of the United States shortly
after the opening OF its session next
month. Several antitrust cases ad-
vanced for consideration by the tri-
bunal are being relied on to give the
court greater opportunity than that af-
forded In the recent Standard OIL and
tobacco decisions to interpret the law
and to impress upon the country how
the court proposes the law should be
enforced.
It Is planned by the court in the
first month OF its session to hear argu-
ments In the so-called hard coal
case" the cotton corner case" and
the "St. Louis bridge case" Pos
sibly later in the session the court
may consider the so-called turpentine
trust case.
knotty Problems.
All involve knotty problems grow
ing out OF attempts of the govern
ment to punish alleged violations Of
the Sherman law. With the excep-
tion of the So called 'turpentine case"
the government has been defeated in
the lower courts and has appealed to
the supreme court to uphold its in
depreciation OF the law.
The hard coal case" constitutes a
governmental attack on the principal
anthracite coal carrying railroads and
coal owning companies In Pennsyl-
vania. 1t Ii claimed that since 1895
these companies have been parties to
a combination and conspiracy to end
competition among themselves In the
transportation and sale OF anthracite
coal and to prevent the sale of the
Independent output in competition
with their own. Besides this alleged
general conspiracy, a number OF little
conspiracies not only forming part of
the general conspiracy, but occupying
an independent existence have been
charged by the government.
Nothing like the cotton corner" has
ever been before the supreme court, II
Is said.
The government will ask the court
TO OVerrule tne actIOn OF tne On1teO
States circuit court for southern New

Scales, Frank b. Hayne and William
p. Brown on three counts. These
counts charge In substance that these
men conspired to monopolize the in.
terstate trade and commerce In avail
able cotton by acquiring enough o
that commodity on the New York ex.
change to give the alleged conspira.
tors power to fix arbitrary and exces.

association OF st. Louis acquired tn,
