Lembcke, secretary; Grace g. Pease, treasurer; Fidelia A. Anderson, con- ductress; Leola Orr, associate con- ductress. Probably the reason for all the con- troversy us to the antiquity of specula- tive Masonry, and its being traceable only back to 1717, Is due to the fact that before Its crystallization Into the grand lodge system there were no records kept, as there cOTld not have been the least necessity for them. If we tukcas a sug- gestion our ritualistic teaching, handed down the ages, that "the ground Hoor ol' King Solomons temple was a mosaic pavement," when until a few months ago all Masons knew, or thought they knew, that It was not a mosaic pave- ment at all, and then recall that late excuv.ations show that the plain floor thought to be that of the original tem- ple proved to be v Inter one sixteen feet above the original one, which was a mosaic pavement, and part of which the grand lodge of Virginia has in Itif pos- session, we will see that there must be Something in our traditions proving their antiquity. There are many other things, the meaning of which is lost, which we could trace up easily if our history only dated from 1717.

Wild Cat Speculation and Gambling Fol- lowed by Smash of Banks Mines in old Mexico, bogus deals In real estate, stock and even race-track gambling are, as recent disclosures following bank smash-ups In New York show, all ln the line of the runners of "bucket shops" on a gigantic scale In that city anil elsewhere, who have controlled many millions of gul- lible people's money. But there Is a lino of investment which has something more than a speculative prospect of success, and that is an investment in Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, if you are troubled with constipation, biliousness, malaria, kidney trouble, or loss of strength or nerve qui- etude. Security against disease, no less than delivery from its clutches, is assured to those who seek the aid of this peerless preventive, ln the preliminary stages of rheumatism, a disease difficult of annihila- tion In its chronic phase, and always dan- gerous because it is prone to attack the heart, the Bitters are a most desirable substitute for the poisons ineffectually used to eradicate It. IT IS NOT A GAMBLE It is a guess, and if you guess right you can have a teacup full of gold nuggets,just as they were taken out of the Klondike diggings. Act promptly?December Ist is the limit as to time. The Daily Herald should receive five thousand subscribers before De- cember Ist, each should pay seventy five cents and make a guess on the gold nugget contest. Some one will get that gold?sßo worth on that day. It may be you, reader.
