The ticket for the trip is supposed to
include all expenses and accOmmOda-
lions. but it has long been customary TO
reward the boys with bakhshish. There
were more donkeys and more boys than
passengers; hence these tears. After
the beasts were saddled, and the tu-
multi quelled, the procession started.
Our route lay through the most pictur-
esQue part of the valley. Leaving the
river embankment, We made a detOuT
around the valley, through the sweet,
green fields, over hard. white roads, I'M
der the tall palm trees and across the
canals; we passed groups of women on
foot, and patriarchs on donkeys, and
children crying ''bakhshish" from the
edge of the road; we made way for the
camels, with their stately tread, carry
ing their burdens of sugar cane or hay;
from behind us came the rhythmic
chants of the chair-bearers, in their
brilliant garb; at our side arose the
ceaseless chatter of barefooted, half
clad Arabs; under us the donkeys cas-
lily ambled along; and we, ourselves,
with senses somnolent in the June-like
air. dreamily realized our part in an
Oriental picture, dating from youthful
days, and to linger as long as life
should endure. The donkey boys" let
me explain. are sometimes pretty old
boys. owning to more years than l my
self am going to acknowledge. Their
dress is one loOse-fiOwing garment. and
they are not always particular about
that They can speak some English,
but their vocabulary is framed to tickle
the vanity and otherwise induce the
largest contributions of your piastres.
They believe it their duty to whip the
donkeys. to guide them and to assist
the rider, when crossing a ditch or
gully. 1t was an effort to convince them
that I could steer the beast and was i'm
no danger of sliding off over his tail.
In about an hour we arrived at a lit
tie grove of palms, under which rest
the recumbent statues of Rameses the
Great. There are two of them, colossal
in size, closely resembling his mummy
and otherwise identified. The largest is
forty-two feet long. They both origl-
nally stood at the entrance of the great
temple of the god Ptah. We are now
on the site of ancient Memphis, which
was eight miles in diameter. From here
we can see the Step Pyramid, said to
be the Oldest structure in the world,
and built by ZesoT, the second king of
the third dynasty, over 1000 years 3. G.
Mounting our donkeys, we now go a
mile or two farther to the Serapeum, or
the TOmbs and Sarcophagi of the Sa-
cred Bulls. The Bull Apis was the liv-

royal architect and manager of the py-
ramids. These estimable gentlemen
lived in the time of the fifth dynasty,

Stomach specialists claim that we
are becoming a nation of dyspeptics,
due to our fast way of living; we live
too fast, we eat too fast, we overload
our stomachs so they cannot do their
work properly. Hence Sour Stomach,
Indigestion and finally Chronic Dys-
pepsia. Ask any druggist and he will
tell you that there are more remedies
on the market for stomach troubles
than for any other disease. Don't fool
with these. but so TO your druggist and
