"Pm after his scalp" is the shib-
boleth by which some alleged fra
ternals conjure. Indeed, it indi-
Gates their guiding thoughts and
ambitions. Brothers. life is too
short and eternity too long to cult
vate aims of this kind. A great
many of our grievances exist solely
in imagination. Others are due to
the initiative we are supposed to
have taken and their existence rests
on the desire to 'get even" on the
part of some one. Before going
after anyone's scalp" be sure that
you have IA grievance. Then, if you
succeed in locating one, see if you
are not about as much to blame as
the other. Finally, extend the
hand of fellowship, coupled with
an earnest desire to live up to the
teachings of the Golden Rule. The
white banners of fraternalism sig
nifty peace as much as they do any
thing else.-Minnesotd Guide.

AeroIltes Reach Earth.

If newspaper reports are to be be-
lieved, at least few meteors reached
the earth the past week. A dispatch
from Grafton, this State, says that last
Thursday morning meteor fell with
kissing noise in the yard at the res
idence Of A. F. Ward, at Fetterman.
The meteor sank two feet in the
ground. 1t was dug up and found to
weigh about 10 pounds. The strange
object has the appearance Of melted
glass and through it are streaks Of
metal resembling lead or pewter
By the falling of meteoric mass
seven miles south of Crescent City, ILL.,,
the residence of John Meyers was
partly wrecked and the neighborhood
was panic stricken. The meteor struck
the north end of the house, tearing
away part of the upper story, 1t buried
itself in the ground.
The fall of large aerolite has caused
a great sensation and much excitement
in Fulton county, Pa. The family Of
George Smith reside about twelve miles
north of Hancock. Thursday morn
ing about 2 o'clock they were ava
kened by tremendously loud Kissing
noise and brilliant flash OF light that
Illuminated the entire surrounding
country, followed by great crash as
of mighty peal of thunder,
All the members Of the family were
so badly scared that they were afraid
to 60 to sleep again and they sat up
the remainder of the night waiting for
the world to come to an end. About
10 o'clock Thursday morning when
Mr.. Smith ventured to his barn his
attention was attracted by the pecu-
liar appearance Of the ground about
400 yards from the building. 1t APP
peared as though it had been freshly
plowed. Close examination showed
that portion of the earth's surface
100 feet in diameter had been dis
turbed evidently by something passing
into it with terrific force. The dis
covsry explained the mysterious phe-
nomena of the night before and Mr..
Smith was convinced that a large
aerolite is buried deep in the ground,

My wife has been using Chamber

her continually for nine years. We

with the best of satisfaction. She has
used only one bottle and her shoulder

Outnut of the Klondike.

No one will ever know exactly how
much gold was taken from the klondike
fields the past season. Since the Eng
lish government imposed royalty, the
miners have adopted all sorts of ruSeS
to evade the law. 1t is rather difficult
TO dodge taxes, but it is more difficult
to dodge bad cold and the grip at this
time of the year. When the system is
weakened by such attacks, and the
blood becomes thin and Impoverished,
the best medicine TO take is Hostetter' S
Stomach Bitters. This remedy builds
up the system. Besides regulating di-
geStion, it overcomes constipation. 1t
is good for the kidneys and liver, too,
stimulating these organs into the proper
performance of their functions. Moth
ing is so good for malaria.
