and sluggish. or thin and impover-
ished, there can beno health. With

A brilliant Rrolite was witnessed
by Frederick Gerhart in Musser's
Valley one night last week. 1t flew
from southeast to southwest and
frequent explosions followed in its
fiery train which so illuminated the
heavens that he could easily see the
nails in the weather boarding of his
barn twenty feet away.
A western exchange gives the fol
lowing warning to its neighbors,
and it would probably be good
idea for the people of this town to
note the case IF n gray haired wo-
man of 30, in moderately respectable
attire is put off the cars in your
town because she can't pay her fare
any further if she almost immedi-
stely receives a telegram urging her
to come home on the next train be-
cause her husband is dying, and il
she tearfully and desperately, in
plenty and loud voice, announces
that she is going to walk home, JOG
miles, you let her walk. She and
her confederate, who sends the tele-
gram, have worked the dying-hus-
band racket in half n dozen Michi-
gan towns, at net profit, it is fig
ured, of $l5 day"
Agood story is being told about the
wife of a prominent gentleman of
Scranton who has long been Il con-
firmed invalid. A few weeks ago
she took to her bed and bid fair to
lie there helples the rest of her life,
and there seemed to be but little the
matter with her. Her husband, who
believed that her illness was more
imaginary than real, prepared a
novel test for her. He took their
pretty colored servant into his conf
dence, and by u prearranged plan
the two met in the invalid's bed
chamber, AS they passed, the man
reached out, and, embracing the
girl, planted a fervant kiss on her
black skin. The wife's lost powers
returned to her at once, and she
jumped out of her bed and drove the
girl from the house. She now does
all the house work herself with ease.
