to Place at Night with "a
Candle.

st. Louis, Mo-. Aug. l2-Rev. DR.
William B. Palmore OF st. Louis

markable exploit was a recent noe

Arabia, Petra, which IS revered by
three religions as the tomb of Aa-
ron, brother OF Moses and first high
priest of the Hebrew theocracy.
DR.. Palmore is editor OF the st.
Louis Christian Advocate.
Late on the last night OF his stay
in Petra, Dr. Palmore silently stole
out OF Petra, attended by his guide
and by his soldiers.
Holding my candle aloft," said
DR.. Palmore, 81 descended the steps
and found myself in an unlighted
cave of no great size. Like the mos
que It was bare and rude. But across
one end were stretched two chains,
like sentinels against intruders, and
behind them hung a tattered cur
tain. | stepped over the chains and
swept the curtains aside The seal
ed entrance to natural vault was
revealed and this vault was the tomb
OF Aaron"

II This Medicine Does not Satlsfactor-
lily Benefit you.

Practising physicians making special
ty of stomach troubles are really respon-
sible for the formula from which Rexall
Dyspepsia Tablets are made. We have
simply profted by the experience OF ex-
perts.
Our experience with Rexall Dyspepsia
Tablets leads us to believe them to be an
excellent remedy for the relief of acute
indigestion and chronic dyspepsia. Their
ingredients are soothing and healing to
the inflamed membranes of the stomach.
They are rich in pepsin, one OF the great
est digestive aids known to medicine.
The relief they afford is almost immedi-
ate. Their use with persistency and reg
ularity for a short time helps to bring
about cessation OF the pains caused by
stomach disorders.
RexalI Dyspepsia tablets aid to insure
healthy appetite, aid digestion, and pro-
mote nutrition. As evidence Of our sin
cere faith in Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets, we
ask you TO try them at our risk. II they
do not give you entire satisfaction, we
will return you the money you paid US
for them. without question or formality.
They come in three sizes, prices rs cents,

obtain them only at our store-The Rex

Editor Register am one of that rapid
ly decreasing little band known as veter-
ans ofthe Civil War. When look around
me, if seems can count twenty-five gone
over the river to every one left lingering
on the shores of time. ! not only have
survived the dangers and hardship OF a
four years war, surrendering at Apo

man, | have survived the viciSStudeS OF
time and might say the wreck OF matter
and the crash of worlds to the present
day. | was a romantic youth in those
earlier years, and can't say that | have
lost any of that romance yet.
remember that in the year 'sixty-six,
when we had again settled down to the
avocatious of life, that while seated leis-
urely in my office awaiting the footsteps
of troubled client my mind wandered
back to the little village of Shepherdstown,
so noted at that time in camp for its pretty
girls. While not enjoying an extensive
acquaintance among those fair damsels, |
conceived the brilliant idea OF writing
letter and tossing it among them as an ap-
pie of discord. So | wrote an epiStle,
dealing largely in NEUROLOGICAL lore and
other highfalutin stuff, and addressed it,
"Let the fairest have me-" sent it to
the postmaster Of the town. with the re-
quest that he deliver it to the prettiest
girl in town. In due course OF time found
myself in regular correspondence with
some ready pen, but if welded by the
fair hand of some bright maiden or by
some mischievous youth, know not. !

worthy of my steel, and had to seek Out
and discuss other branches of college lore
such as might be able to handle. Be it
all as il may, We carried on very pleasant
little Irritation.
And now, Mr. Editor, nearly fifty years
have elapsed. Forests perhaps now
spread their outrageous foliage over what
was once an open battlefield. How many
noble heroes who poured out their pre-
cious blood upon Virginia's sacred soil
have returned to the dust whence they
sprang Have you sufficient romance and
love for antiquity to 60 back with this
youthful antiquarian and resurrect, if
possible, some of these relics OF bygone

quite az likely to know who 10 the best
candidate as the Senators in Washington.
This is talking like 4 man. No one
will dispute Senator Wilson's right to
express his preference or to work for the
MAN Of his choice, provided that he con-
cedes, as he does, the same right to the
humblest Democrat In the State. There
will be genuine harmony in the party

Death has taken from Our paternal hearth
The presence OF dearly beloved heart,
And translated il from this world OF pain
Into that region where the Master reigns
Whenever Death his dire trumpet doth sound.
His messenger goeth forth in silence profound
With his sickle in hands. white and cold.
To invade some peaceful family Told.
Thus he, fearless TO our family came,
And broke a link in friendships welded chain.
In removing from our midst son. brother
Into the realms where rules another.
For our brother, son. we do daily mourn,
For thee. when our eyes opc at early morn.
We miss, because that form so often seen
Is now hidden by Deaths dark screen.
But why continue your flowing. ys tears
Why need our souls live on in daily lear
He is Lord for so He hath really said.
Both OF the living and also the dead.
So farewell. fond farewell. thee we bid,
Until we too close our weary cyclids
In sumbers, and our burdens lay aside,
To meet thee and our Lord in Paradise.

In an article in 4 recent issue Of "The
Outlook" Col. Roosevelt advocates ref
ereudum. whereby the people by their
vote shall PASS upon the constitutionality
OF laws placed upon the statute books.
This will probably appeal to everybody
excepting, of course, the lawyers-as a
good thing. The peoples decisions
would, probably, be more often right than
the technical decisions Of the courts, and
no more influenced by prejudice.
When one reflects on the vast injustice
that has been done the people in the
name Of unconstitutionality, and the legal
crimes perpetrated under the same guise,
Col. Roosevelt's plan sounds acceptable
as Holy Writ.
