Aches and Pains.

You know by experience that the
aches and pains Of rheumatism are
rot permanently, but only temporarily,
relieved by external remedies.
Then why not use an internal
remedy-Hood's SarsapariIla, which
corrects the acidity of the blood on
which rheumatism depends and cures
the disease?'
This medicine has done more for the
rheumatic than any other medicine in
the world.

there is lack of harmony in the setting
OF its stones. The builders lacked ma
terial for their work; they went to the
burial places of the Jews, tore up
their tOmbstones, and used them as
paving stones, under their feet. 1t
was an indignity to the most sacred of
feelings, respect to the dead, that even
we can feel after so many centuries:
and how the old, medieval Jews felt
is shown by the pathetic special prayer
which they inserted into their ritual.
Have mercy, o Lord, upon the bones
OF Thy servants. which are being torn
from their graves almost every day.
In shame and disgrace their sacred
tOmbstones are being thrown into the
streets at random" The existence OF
the prayer shows how prevalent the
sacrilege had become. But the mil
lions of feet that have stamped upon
these old stones have not yet blotted
out the inscriptions, which tell now
story of disgrace to the prosecutors
rather than indignity to the perse-
cuted.

Jewish T0mbstones in
nayence Cathedr

Many Jews and Jewesses in past
years who have joined the annual
American migration to Europe have
remarked on the Jewish tombstones
that form part of the pavement of the
old and beautiful Mayence cathedral.
What is matter of curiosity to
them. however. must have been
matter of the deepest misery and in
dignity to their ancestors. for these
paving stones. made of old Jewish
tombstoncs, are relies, in stone. of suf-
fcrings which are mostly only pre-
served in traditions and books. The
manner in which they were placed
there and the circumstances con-
nected with it were investigated about
ten years ago by Leon Hummer. who
came To the conclusion that the build
ers of the cathedral did not scruple
to tear up from the old Jewish ceme-
terics the only records of their fore
bears in stone. The work of the May
ence cathedral progressed slowly. and

The Green Forest tribune., 1908-03-20

the first chilly evening of November a sad insistent cry is heard at dusk by the dwellers in the old parts of Rome. It's sound is muffied and indis- tinct; it begins in a high monotone, dying down to a prolonged sigh.
 To the uninitiated it sounds li,. a cry for help. One rushes to open the window and the cry becomes clearer The word "Petr-ai' is distinguished with a huge brass kettle slung over his shoulders. He sells hot roast pears and apples, and "Petrai" stands for "pere eotte," which are greatly rel ished by the cabbies and newsboys.
 Just as the apple man appears with the night, the seller of a native min eral water arrives at the first peep of dawn. His stock is water from a spring outside the Porta del Popolo celebrated with the Romans from time immemorial "Acqua Acetosa buona per la sposa" (Acetosa water good for the bride) is his shrill cry as, seated on a small cart loaded with straw covered f1asks filled with the water and drawn by a sleepy donkey, he slow ly goes through the streets of Rome.
 Every good citizen realizes when he hears the familiar cry that there is still time for another short nap. The acquacetosaro is che early bird of Ro- man life.
 Peddling is very profitable trade, as both shop rent and taxes are saved provided the seller keeps moving. Hence the country people are more successful in this line than the city bred. Being used to walking over the rough country roads an entire day on the move through Rome does not tire them.
 Whole families from the AbruzzI mountains are in the business. The father will perhaps sell native hand made lace and embroidery, the mother will probably be an bustaia, or corset seller, with a gay collection of brightly coored wares, following closely in her husbands wake but never with him; the son will hawk handkerchiefs, pins, buttons, shoe laces, while another member of the family sells brooms and brushes.
 Each one is a specialist in the wares he sells and each has his own clients for whom he makes special prices, thus saving them the trouble of hag- gling. Of the occasional customer he asks double the price, but is willing to sell for much less provided the pur- chaser has the time and patience to bargain with him.

"SINNERv CAN COME AGAIN.
Thief's Visit Resulted In Nice Margin
 of Profit to Farmer.

If there are any more chicken thieves like the one who entered his hennery three weeks ago, Thomas h. graham of Park Mills, N. r., will glad ly furnish chart of the grounds and guarantee to tie up the dog. A few mornings ago MT. Ingraham entered the hennery, and to his amazement found dozen fowls in place of the ones that he had missed after the visit of the thief. He also found hang ing to a nail in the building a scrawl which said: Mister Farmer, I was wicked when I stole them chicks of you, but wringed their .necks when I hooked 'em from the roost, so could not put 'em back. Am awful sorry done it, and will prove what I say by bringing you other chickens which I never stole. Them I took were com mon chicks, these are blooded. Never will I steal any more. Sinner" With such conscience, the sinners resolu- tion is evidence of good business judg- ment, for MT. Ingraham says the fowls he received are worth at least twice as much as the ones whose necks were "wringed' when they were hooked"

 Of course, in both houses the law. years far outnumber everybody else put togetter. There are 54 professed law yers in the senate alone, and no less than 235 more in the house-just Il less than an even 300 all together.
 In this category reads the names one has heard before-Senators Tel Ter and Bacon, Hepburn, Borah, Hop. kins, Hemenway and Beveridge, Frye. Nelson, Depew, La Toilette, Foraker and Dick, Penrose, Culberson and Bai- ley. In the house the lawyers are le- zion, with Nicholas Longworth, Bur u, Crumpacker, Overstreet and the New York triumvirate of Bourke Cochran, Herbert Parsons and Serene Payne.
 Bankers rank next in number, al- though there are but five in the en- tire senate, which seems like news Taliaferro of Florida, Nixon of Neva- da, Kean of New Jersey, Ankeny of Washington, and Reed Shoot of Utah. The house boasts P bankers, making 27 in all.
 The two senators from South Caro- lima confess that they are farmers, though that is more than anybody else in the senate will admit. These are Senators Latimer- and Tillman Thus the latter remains loyal to his pitch fork. Two are merchants, Aldrich and Perkins. Buckley of Connecticut says
